well, after a LOT of buggeration yesterday, Tom.com and i managed to hook up in FSX

i thought I'd fly my VC10 straight and level to give Tom.com the opportunity to formate..............silly me - he's even worse than Wedgy! :((

after he went on the grass [-x

...

lined up for takeoff - my VC10 and Tom.com's F18

another bloke joined us in his Meteor

notice that speck in the distance? yup, you guessed it - Tom.com! =))

he was MUCH better than Tom.com, who clearly just wanted to approach me at warp 6 and zoom past...

it was actually bloody difficult to take screenshots of Tom.com - this explains why...

can you guess which of the two vapour-trails are mine??????

i was clearly nothing more than a target for him! =))

so, whilst i was nice and straight and level - how was Tom.com getting on i wonder?..............

see? even worse than Wedgy! =))

well, all good things must come to an end - so i landed and watched for Tom.com................i think his landing is what is described as "short" =))

he did find the tarmac eventually though :ymapplause:

then i changed to a Typhoon trio - just to see if i could beat Tom.com to altitude...

of course i did - piece of cake! $\:D/$

the Typhoon is 'orrible in FSX though - it has two speeds, Mach Lots or STOP =))

plus my graphics card really isn't up to it, so we called it quits

next time Tom.com - try some formation pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

sorry SM i was using an xbox 360 controller, when i said i wanted to change the joystick it was so that i could match your speed because the 360 controller doesn't allow it

cheeky bugger - i was on finals for a touch 'n' go and you ZOOMED in in front of me and hogged the runway! =))

sorry with the 360 controller there is no accuracy at all with the speed that is also why i couldn't form up on you

by **Saracenman** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:22 pm

"A bad workman..........." =))

by **Tom.com** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:28 pm

now I wonder who taught him to do that :))

by **Wedgy** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:37 pm

Moved posts above as Tom.com doesn't realise there is a screenshots thread. :))

by **Tom.com** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:39 pm

I did however I was asked for the pics in the other thread

by **Wedgy** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:43 pm

I was sitting in my front room when I asked you as well ... can you post them in my front room too?

by **Tom.com** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:57 pm

Tempted SM to fly the Victor for the first time since the early days of FSX flying. It paid off! great fun!!

The model is fab

Lined up with SM at Brize

Smokin!

Beautiful

Formation time. SM formating on me + our old friend FSXpilotStew, who is an impressive flyer (FPS is in a Flash White Victor)

My turn to formate on SM

FSXpilotStew buzzing past

Formation turn

Landing at Dundee

Only just made the end

SM's FIRST attempt ... erm, you're dying! you're dying! (loving the smoke trail

)

*crash!*

SM's SECOND attempt - turned the Victor into a Lawnmower =))

FSXpilotStew is my new Flight Sim buddy. SM can go back to his VC10 poo hole
