Re: forum member Mike (Mike Branford)

I had the pleasure of meeting him at Waddington Airshow many years ago. He was a lovely man. This is very sad news.

Re: General Election Thursday 4th July 2024

I am very grateful to Nigel Farage for returning to front line politics and thereby splitting the right wing vote which the Tories had hither to taken for granted. In doing so he has finally brought to an end 14 years of the most toxic and corrupt government certainly in my lifetime. How good (or ba...

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Microsoft finally confirms “Summer 2021” release schedule for Xbox Series S and X. This will be really helpful if you don’t want to spend a fortune on a top spec gaming pc. Honeycomb Aeronautics also confirms Xbox compatible Flight control accessories. This makes xbox a serious option.

Re: Scottish Devolution Gaff?

It is worth remembering that the subject of Scottish independence was dead and buried after the 2014 referendum.

It was Brexit that dug up the ice cold corpse of Scottish independence and gave it the kiss of life.

Boris should keep that in mind when seeking to apportion blame.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

I would imagine the xbox release will coincide with the release of the new xbox. That is to say I really doubt it will run on existing models. As for me, my PC is too old as I suspected and I don't really fancy shelling out for a top spec gaming PC so the new xbox might be the way forward for me.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

In a few days from now Microsoft will officially rejoin the Flight Simulator community with a brand new iteration of their simulator. I’ve been watching some “first looks” on Youtube from those who have early access and I have to say it looks absolutely stunning. I will probably hold fire buying it ...

Brexit is already awful but if one of its many terrible consequences is a Corbyn led government then I will weep with despair. What a dreadful state of affairs.

I wonder whether the pilot programmed the route into the navigation computer, or if it was drawn free-hand, so to speak lol.
