- Recon flight
- Had an in-flight emergency when the airspeed/mach indicators went u/s! Landed successfully. On reviewing the cockpit cam I saw that the airspeed HAD come back online during final approach, but I was so fixated on the picture, relating it to past landings in order to guess the speed, that I hadn't even noticed!

- A new sim experience.
- From engine start, sorry, I meant TWO engine starts, you knew this was a new kind of flight sim experience.
"Taxiing quickened the pulse as the Eurofighter bobbed and bounced on its suspension. Sunlight glinted through the canopy, wheel brakes on, engine spooled up and the beast was straining at the leash.
Brakes off and the tyres rumbled... 120 knots and the dragon leapt into the air." MiGMan, 1998 - airline_seat_recline_extraEF 2000

2. Voice control for control surfaces (flaps, gear, chute), wingman.
3. Draw distance? Can anyone help? I doubled the draw distance in the MIG29.INI file, but every time you enter the sim it overwrites it back to 26.
4. Low speed, high alpha

- Second attempt at this bombing mission. The bombing is very forgiving in this sim... but then we ran into the most 'Top Gun' helo pilot of all time!
Then I shot him down. Eventually I shot him down.
I found the explanation for the 'Top Gun' helo pilot in the documentation for the mission editor. Flight models and aircraft models are independent... and the manual warns not to assign an F-16 flight model to a chopper... which is exactly what some wag at Novalogic did here! - airline_seat_recline_extraMiG-29 Fulcrum (Novalogic) | Voice Attack

- A flight of Japanese a/c overflew Haleiwa as I climbed into the P-40. It took a few minutes to catch up with them, by which time I was over the harbour and all hell was breaking loose! Smoke trails were everywhere as FLAK and cannon took their toll.

- 1941, Dec 7 - Intercept
- A scramble in the F-4F and my first move was to crash head on! Tried again and my wingtip was shot off on the first pass. Next time up friendly FLAK damamged my control surfaces os I limped back to land on the Enterprise, Meanwhie all hell was breaking loose and some unlucky pilot collided with me as I turned to finals. Several attempts later and I managed to stay in one piece and apparently help to drive off most of the Japanese Dive Bombers... satisfied but weary I landed on the carrier.... only just !

- Very heavy FLAK in this mission - each time my plane sustained grievous damage. Needless to say I didn't hit the carrier once either. Definitely a challenge!

- What a magnificent flight model, so fluid! Lots of things to learn on this aircraft - as evidenced by me flying the first 10 minutes with the airbrake extended!

- Sydney scenery comparison: standard vs. ORBX Aus v2
- I ran a quick photo-recce over Sydney harbour twice. Once with the stock Prepar3D scenery and then again with ORBX Australia v.2 scenery.

- I'd spent some hours mapping my HOTAS and Voice Attack computer, and saw no arrestor hook command on the official list. Must be automated, I thought, wrongly. After the second bolter I whipped out my future-phone (it was 1979) and searched the inter-web with Alta-Vista. Aha!
H = hook.
Kind of important to know that. - airline_seat_recline_extraStrike Fighters 2: Complete Edition | Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic

- Douglas DC-3 flight over Sydney, Australia, 2006
- On an unusually grey Sydney afternoon in October 2006 MiGMan was a guest of Microsoft at the launch of their new flagship product - Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
The creme-de-la-creme of Australia's gaming journalists gathered at Kingsford Smith Airport, Sydney, and embarked on a champagne flight over Sydney Harbour in a C-47, the military transport version of the Douglas DC-3. - Australia
