Does anyone know if there is an FSX add-on for the Mi-171?

You could simulate FAC mode now. In the mission editor place an object where you want the FAC to be. In multiplayer, FAC chooses to be observer. When mission starts, choose object F12. Then CTRL F11, and you get a view from the object. Talk in your team mates to the target.

That was from an actual training session. No point in limiting number of weapons as it wastes time in restarting a mission because a pilot has run out! Harrier skin on A-10A for UK FACs to recognise.

Please note that the boxed version of FC 2.0 will be some months after the download version. The reason is that it will have to be submitted for age ratings (PEGI and ESRB etc), manufactured and got into the supply chain. For Australia/NZ, I hope Mindscape Australia will stock.

When I first learned to fly (it was in a glider with very basic instruments), initially I had great difficulty in judging my height when landing. Instructor gave me a hint - when I could distinguish the blades of grass, I should be about to land!

The "bible" ( Fighter combat:tactics and maneuvering by Robert L Shaw) gives some explanation See http://books.google.com/books?id=hBxBdKr0beYC&pg=PA191&lpg=PA191&dq=helo+tactics+versus+fixed+wing&source=bl&ots=9qcr2KjLGk&sig=ovRR5EvmgA89kLCXHbWy58Dc3Ng&hl=en&ei=hg8ES-PRNIXH-QbMu9itCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=helo%20tactics%20versus%20fixed%20wing&f=false

Superb! Well done, great show.

Igor, Matt, Eugene and I will be on the stand and will take some pix and maybe video. We are on stand with CH

Have a look at the SIMHQ articles and I think it will become clear: http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_426a.html

Nitrogen narcosis see http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/nitrogen+narcosis Depth it occurs varies between divers. When learning to dive they give a simple test. At sea level you are given a board like a chess board but with numbers in each square, You are then shown a sequence, say 4, 7,2, 9, 1 etc. You touch each square in the correct sequence and the instructor times you. Then repeat the exercise say at 80 ft. The difference in times can be quite alarming! Re-inforces the point that you should always dive with a buddy.

Not been to Red Sea, but friends advise that it is no longer worth going there. Fish stocks depleted, and pirates! I can completely recommend here for a diving week that you will never forget: http://www.dive-the-world.com/dive-resorts-malaysia-sipadan-mabul-water-bungalows-main.php# High quality kit to hire. Professional dive masters. Strict safety standards and no touching of coral or marine life. 2 strikes and you are out. Take your PADI docs, as they will grill you about your experience. A very interesting mix of 10m coral top surface dives and vertical dives down rock faces down to your authorised limit of 30m. So many turtles that they get in the way, usual coral fish and reef sharks, jacks, barracudas etc. Saw Manta Rays and Leopard Sharks, which I had not seen before. Grub is good if you like malaysian food, but they do an English breakfast! After three dives a day, we were knackered and went to bed early, but apparantly there was entertainment for virile youngsters like you!

Flight planning is the key, as is weight. You should be landing with nearly no fuel.

I too am an advanced PADI but have never dived in UK waters due to the cold! Only time I use a dry suit is sailing a Contender dinghy in Winter! http://www.sailcontender.org.uk/ Dived quite a few places overseas - Barrier Reef (forget it), Caribeean etc. Best dives ever: Sipadan, Sarawak - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sipadan - completely unspoilt, only 35 divers allowed per day. Galapagas: http://www.galapaguide.com/scuba_diving.htm - fish/mammals have no fear of divers, and juvenile sea lions come up and bump you to play a game of tag, which of course you lose! Warning, on the current side of pinnacles there can be a massive up current. Got caught at 25m and the updraft was so high as to be dangerous for decompression. Stopped by grapping onto rock face and shredding skin on hands. Discovered that blood at that depth is in fact green in colour! A pack of Galapagas shark above me but was able to sidle around the side and eventually surface. Dive boat thought it was very funny and stopped bleeding by pouring petrol on the cuts. It hurt! Every since then I wear gloves, and carry a knife to jab into coral to stop drift, and I passed the drift diving section of advanced PADI! Sorry moderators - this must be way off topic!

I am also a Diver. Where was this and what depth were you at?

Ah Aberdeen - the city of grey granite, and men of granite, but with cuddly lasses with warm hearts. I married one, 30 years ago, still current!

Glad you like it. If you could give some feedback on Amazon, it would be helpful for TFC/ED, as well as Wags.

I'm sure if you pm Wags that you might be a little over the deadline, giving him an estimate of completion, he may be lenient!
