Wow! Thanks Guys!
I'll go along with that. Quilling is indeed just mucking about in aircraft.
But I think Melissa started it!

I've been Quilling since the 60's IRL (although I did talk to the tower, if
one existed , then since mid 80's simming........ A few weeks ago I
thought I'd break precident, and actually contacted the tower before
landing. I had already gotten the weather from ATIS who advised runway 18
was active, so I was lined up for a long final, but what does the knothead
in the tower advise - "enter a right downwind for 36"...... Maybe I'll use
it again in 10 or 20 years, but I doubt it. What I love in the sim is if
anyone has the audacity to pull on the runway *I've* chosen to land on, I'll
pop over him if there's time, or do a 360 and try to beat anyone that's
brazen enough to be next, or land on the taxi way, or come in low to avoid a
headon if they're taking off the opposite end.... Don't need no steeekin
com radios..... d:->))

The FUN on a long cross country IS the navigation, NOT following connect the
dots on a GPS, or watching your track being painted on map view...
IMHO, which I respect...........

Cheers'n Beers.. [_])

Quilling..? awfully silly I'd say.... but go ahead and muck-a-muck
around if you wish.. as long as it's fun. I'm going up in the noisy
old Boeing Jet and work the radios!!! (and look out at the terrain)

I don't think I really started anything, but Quilling through fjords
and mountains is something I do enjoy. Besides, I would feel bad
about bothering those busy simulated ATC people too often, because
they're always so busy telling those silly auto pilot babysitting bus
drivers where to go. ;-)

sounds like there's a need for AFCAD and WxAnalyzer here. { grin }

And then there's the problem with flight plans, following VORs, etc...

They only work when you already know where you're headed, and all you
can think about is getting there! I'm more of a "be here now" sort
of simulated bush pilot, so wherever I am, there I am!

By the way...I'm absolutely loving ActiveSky! I've never seen the
clouds, fog, haze, etc. looking so good! New screen shots should be
coming along in the next few days.

Agreed!! But naturally I favor the one on the ground where you can see the
ground terrian better <<G>>
Loved the ole 727's!!! I was working for Aeronautical Radio in Kansas City
when TWA (and everyone else) started flying them, and after the pilots
discovered the sink rate with everything dumped on landing was *really* what
Boeing said, they quit banging them up so much... d:->))
