    So the away team has successfully returned to the Enterprise (we all had names so that was OK). Thanks to Painless, Sid, Crash, Fenrir, Blubear, Friar, Gec, Ivan and Tanja for providing excellent company for a weekend of aeroplane geekery. And to the hot German girl in the breakfast room at the hotel yesterday for the eye candy - down boy. Thanks fellas Jabo

    Actually, he was standing in a hole.

    We have this discussion a lot at work - when IS 'Midnight Friday'? I maintain (because I am correct) that midnight Friday is tonight (ie Thusday night/Friday morning) at midnight but lots of people seem think that it's on Friday night/Saturday morning. I wonder which this is...
  7. Jabo
    Not yet!

    By my count I reckon there's 51 aircraft now down to attend. That's a pretty good turnout!

    Save that for Legends 2020! Incidentally, assuming we're spared, next year will be my 20th Legends in succession! Perhaps I should consider giving it a miss.... Given that a certain football match might be happening between two certain teams on Sunday it's probably a good thing that Monsieur Chabbert isn't there. "Football is a lot like flying..."

    Oh my. Yes please! Last time I saw this was back in 2000ish when it was just set of fuselage frames - looking brilliant now! I'm told it's in the same markings as it had the day it force-landed in the UK in 1940? I reckon a 3-ship formation with that, the Blennie and the Gladiator.

    Yes, indeedy do!

    Tom's probably your chap for this Dave. The lad has a yen for choo choos.

    I would Chris, but any photos there may have been are lost in the mists of time...

    And very nice it was too.

    For a limited time only, I am pleased to announce the return of the highly sought after DDz shirt! All the shizzle is here.
  16. Jabo
    Ha, you don't get away with it that easily mate, yeah, I'll be there but I'm sharing with Crash and we both had rooms booked so I don't need this one.
  17. Jabo
    Offer's there Sid...

    Twin room available at usual Holiday Inn! £189.16 for two nights. Anyone interested?
  19. Jabo
    Hooray! All you need to do now is spawn in, fly to the airfield the rest of the chaps are starting from, land, switch off then start up and you can be away while the spitties are warming up! lol

    Welcome to the pound Sheriff, pull up a kennel. I'm sure one of the guys who are keen on level bombing will be along with some help in a bit.

    The Beau can be a bit of a handful on the ground and the swing on takeoff due to the non 'handed' props is quite pronounced. Once you get the hang of steadily advancing the throttles and are ready with a bootful of rudder when required she's not too bad. The other thing I've found is not to try and haul the thing off the ground too soon, once the tail is up, just a suspicion of elevator is all that's required for her to fly off the deck.

    That's always my view. When I set my current rig up a while back, I switched on the hardware monitor in the BIOS so now I get a 2 stage alarm on the CPU and GPU if they get too warm - in both cases the threshold is set at 80% and 95% of Tjmax - so far I've never had an alarm (and yes, I have tested it works by setting the threshold to my normal temps).

    Third fuel lever? The length of time it takes the Beau to warm up is ridiculous at the moment (compared to other radial-engined aircraft in the game). Gypsy, you'll find that if you advance the throttles too far the engine will will just stop and you're back to having to start it all over again. There is are two engine temp gauges behind the stick - keep a close eye on them. If you're starting with rads closed to get the engines to warm up more quickly, remember to open them again before taking off!

    Thanks Chris - a very interesting read! What's next?

    Ah yes, the Widowmaker. Complete insanity
