When going through and doing these reports I really strugle to pick out just the right shots to include, but this one I just can't resist.įor reference, we were at 5500' Alt. Once we were up and going in the air, it was fine and a quick visual inspection showed no lasting damage. Somehow I don't think that NGUKURR airfield is used to planes of my size or maybe that Beechcraft just had wing envy? Rested and refuled, we taxied out to runway 11 for our departure.
I've emailed Dawson Designs and hopefully they'll update her correctly.Īs with all of my adventures, where possible I use Ortho4XP for the mesh and ortho photos.Īfter mapping a key to pop out the FMC I entered our route.Ī pretty basic flightplan, but you gotta start somewhere Because of this, the FMC does not work from the centre console and has to be handled from the pop-up.
First I found those annoying flying pieces of geometry (engine struts) and I was able to mark them as invisible, but in addition to that XP11 does not support the old FMC and so I had to take that out and install the new one. Unfortunately the C-17 Globemaster III from Virtavia was made for X-Plane 10.10 and so I've had to take her into Plane Maker to update a couple of things. And since all of these are meant to be learning runs, this time I thought I might program the FMC.

The AZ-GTi and SynScan App provides full computerised GO-TO control, allowing the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the App’s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects. Incorporates Sky-Watcher’s Freedom-Find™ patented Dual-Encoder Technology, which allows the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without the mount losing its positional information. After entering your coordinates into the App and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menu. The AZ-GTi mounting, with it’s built-in WiFi module, creates it’s very own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used anywhere, without any reliance on other WiFi or mobile networks.
The lightweight and highly portable Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-102 (AZ-GTi), has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android.
