In my working days we tested our electronic boxes, 'Full Authority' gizmos
designed to control R-R (and other) engines, at about -52C and at an equivalent
altitude of around FL450 for long periods of time. If they didn't work under
those conditions, they were rejected (despite costing at least a quarter of a
million dollars each). Now that was cold...

That’s quite chilly. It’s normally about -21C at that height. -45C is typical
for FL300..
A tip though – please close the storm window next time. J

Sheesh! FL180 heading south at 180 knots over deepest Deutschland with 45 mins
to run -- OAT is -45C. I wish that I was home and tucked up in bed… (Good viz
tho’).

Just let me know the day that your bins get collected and I’ll hijack the bin
lorry. Either that or I’ll just have to resubmit…
I will TRY and keep this going, I’m currently en route Copenhagen to Basel.
It’s a bit cold up here… L

Picked up, laughed at and thrown in the bin.
Welcome back. It’s not changed much. J

Suddenly, after some 2.5 years, I've come out from under the radar and have
started to 'fly' again! Gerry is to blame, I've made a note of all his recent
European flights and have decided to see if I can match him. Thank you, Gerry!
I'm now using P3D V2.4 exclusively and am finding it very stable and, at last,
I'm getting a really good 'flying' experience (it has been a long time
coming!). FSX is a thing of the past...
Today I 'flew' real-time, real weather, from Farnborough to Copenhagen in the
excellent Lancair 'Legacy' at the start of my European Tour, all details logged
at IVAO (hope that they remember me!), let me know if you don't pick it up,
bones.
Thanks again, Gerry, and my best wishes to all for a happy & healthy New Year!
