Just come back into the room, after hanging a couple of pictures for SWMBO. I'd landed at FACT at1037 our time. Back in to receive a fizzer saying I'd been idle too long, so days times cancelled.
Anyway, the flight was to check the changes I'd made to the Gulfstream 550. It now flies as it should and covers the claimed 8000 nm, instead of its out of the box 6000 nm.
It's difficult to justify criticising Freeware designers but I sometimes feel they are happy to produce a nice looking aircraft, with the correct numbers entered into its Aircraft.cfg. Flying the things, better still getting someone else to test it, seems to be overlooked. Pity because the Gulfstream 550 looks more like a commercial airliner than most bizjets, whilst having great range and performance.
Whilst up in the loft, looking for frames, I came across a mini TV, that we used to use on the canal boat. Since it's analogue, it's merely a candidate for the bin. Pity but that's progress foryou.
