I edited them out to not go to faa prison ;p

 

Requiem did 3 excellent circuits, and it was great to watch the videos, and.... , to find out something very special about il2-BoS that is really reflected on those videos - the weather ( wind variability and turbulence ) affecting an aircraft, something we feel very well ( well, I felt very well because I gave my BoS license to a lucky fellow :-) ) in our sim!

 

So, congratulations also to 1C / 777 for their excellent work in bringing to the sim that interaction with mother Nature that we really lack in other sims...

Yeah Req handled it great, x winds are a pain.

Pretty awesome Req. I hope to find the means to do the same one day. Cheers!

Congrats - nice landings, steady hand! What was the plane?  I remember my first solo, I only did one circuit, landed, received my congratulations, and then went back for five more... though we didn't do full stop landings, touch'n'go to save time... Sadly I don't have a video - it was way before GoPro. Even the plane I flew doesn't exist anymore - some bonehead crashed it a couple of years later.

Lol on my first solo from the UKs shortest licenced grass runway (netherthopre) they forgot to tell me to do a full stop each tim, so I did three touch and goes before the radio started woring again and I heard a very scared but impressed instructer screaming at me that I need to pull in. I think I broke some aviation laws that day

 

I'm kinda jealous of the field u learnt at, at mine because it's grass it's quire hard to find, not like that huge complex u have there lol

I work in McKinney, about 10 minutes from the field where he solo'd (and where I used to rent planes).  Just took a stroll out to the car after lunch.  It's CAVU here today, with a very light breeze from the west or southwest, so he shouldn't have much to deal with today in the way of crosswinds or turbies.

 

Best of luck to you, Requim!  Look forward to having a newly minted "single engine land" guy in our midst today!  :biggrin:
