Well, I'm flying a 737"BP". That's the "Bush Plane" version. Not as in
George W. but as in Backwoods.

A 737, lightly loaded, makes a darned decent bush plane! Lot of fun too.

Here is a flight description:

Now that's quite a picture board there Mike.. it's fun to create a
story of your flight. Some feedback.. glad to see that FS9 has a
Weight and Load menu.. however they really need to include a
type-specific schematic on which to display the CG, etc. Did you
check the restrictions for that takeoff field? such as wingspan?

Only pokin' fun here.. no expert.. never did any flying really.

From your screenshots.. it appears the FDE has high Cdo (drag) and
engine `ram drag' since you're diving towards the landing field. Maybe
due to weight.. but wouldn't it be better and more challenging to
manage the energies of a laden jet? Also.. slow final IAS with the
apparent nose pitch. Typically default aircraft have high drag, high
thrust, high ram drag (cutting the throttles slows you down faster),
and stiff moments / damping coeffs.. so the nubies can have an
easier time of it. :-] (ok don't get offended)

Now you're going to land that Boeing on a grass strip.. lordy.. take
me to the hanger for inspection (and filter change) chuckle!!

Mike,

You've just given every BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) owner (what...all 5 of
them?) ideas on how to get their kids to camp this year.

Well done...

Thinking about it more.. first you'd need to scrape all that turf and
replace with `Pentalawn' before trying it. Otherwise.. don't you be
landing MY Boeing jet on the grass!! (yeah right) LOL

Hey Gregory,

The story board is an automated application built into Adobe Photoshop and
will output the pictures to the size you specify along with the thumbnails.
The captions are created in Photoshop and are part of the picture data. It
will create the web photo album in seconds and if you don't like it just
make changes and re-create the whole thing. I'll try to post some screen
shots as to how it works.

The weight and load menu works for me. Anything more technical might get me
in trouble :)

FTE? That's not "FTD" ...Florist Telegraph Delivery is it Gregory? Help me
on the terms...I'm just a buck toothed bush pilot...HA HA HA!

Oh, a laden jet would be interesting to try but the runway req was someting
like 5600 feet minimum. Besides, I didn't want to take out myself and a
bunch on sim passengers....heh heh heh. I'll give it a try.

Yeah, I made the setup so that they hadn't had rain there for some time and
the sod was rock hard :) Of course there is considerable damage to the fan
blades due to all those rocks I picked up during thrus reversal. It's fun
isn't it?

I'm stuck with Paintshop Pro 7 but know almost all the shortcut keys!!

It wouldn't be too difficult to provide for a `developer supplied
outline image' of the planes' fuselage loading region!

Nope.. not floral.. it's Flight Dynamics (FD).. which is simply the
binary AIR file data and Aircraft.cfg (text file) inputs.

HA HA HA HA! We will still need to get out there and keep the Pentalawn
clean of debris. Hey, maybe we could get the bears and wolves trained at
Crawford Bay :)

I'll leave you Boeing alone... heh heh heh

Very impressive indeed, I'll give it a try but I doubt I will be able to do
the same.
Nice "photo-story".

Give it a try, Simon. The best thing is to take the airplane up and get
some altitude, and manually fly it in various configurations, stalls and so
on. You will get a feel for it and you will be surprised how well you will
do over time.

You will gain a knowledge of the planes capabilities AND your capabilities
with the aircraft. It will all come together. Knowing a plane's slow flight
characteristics can be key to landings on short runways.

Oh yeah, Paint Shop Pro is good. I dunno if they have an album app.

Thanks for setting me straight on FDE. Hmmm. sound interesting. You can
actually modify these config files?

Heh heh heh. Bob would like that application. part of Adobe photoshop and
easy to create the pic board.
http://www.mbm30.org/Mike/AboutAdobeWebAlbum/index.htm

Oh yeah, been a scope maker for years and we just finished a big guy.. a 30
incher. May take it to Okie-Tex star party.


Oh, hey, I'm gonna try that bear of an airport you mentioned. I'll give a
J-3 a try and maybe recored the crash :) I'll be honest about it.


It looks like one has to land in a neighborhood on the street! WOW!

My next door neighbor is one of you... he's on the Board of the Texas
Astronomical Society - Dallas. He doesn't make his own scopes, he gets them
custom made or something like that. I asked him if he knew you, alas... he
didn't. If he goes to the Okie-Tex I'll have him look for you.

Yeah, we staregazer/scope makers are a bit different but we are a OK group.

I think I like simming more than scope making.

Yep, I'm stuck with my picture strips. :)

Adobe Photo-Deluxe 1 was included in the software when I bought this
computer but I haven't looked at it closely after the first cursory
look. It doesn't look too feature packed.

I was surprised to find that I actually have that feature in my Photoshop 6.

My problem is entirely different, I've never uploaded a webpage in my life.
I don't even know if I've got a working FTP anywhere on this hard drive.

Well we are gonna show ya how to do those uploads. It actually isn't bad
and there are some good applications to do that. Most photo album sites
probably have their own FTP applications but the problem I have seen with
those is you have to follow their file structure setup and this blows the
Photoshop album structure.

Basically P.S. creates a stand alone folder by what name you assign it. It
also creates three subfolders: Images, Pages and Thumbnails. Each contains
what there name says. The album is actually a set of generated web pages and
images. You could actually take the one folder put it on a CD and anyone
can run it on their computer.

You probably have (almost certainly have) some allocated web space that
comes with your Internet connection account. That is the space you want to
use. Now you will need to know how to access that. In other works there is
a user id and password needed to get to your space. You could contact you
ISP and get the info. Just let them know you want to access your web space
and will be using an FTP application (like WS FTP Pro ... a good one!) to
upload your stuff. they can furnish the info. Let me know if I can help at
least get you to the right links concerning the questions you need answered.

Now, I use WS FTP Pro. Great application. It is payware... I think 49
bucks but is a solid FTP application.

Here is a screenshot of the application:

It is like using "My Computer" in that it shows files on your system.
The left side shows my C drive's folders and files. The right side shows
the folders and files on my web page area on my ISP's computer. In other
words we are looking at your local computer and the remote computer on one
screen. You simply highlight the folders/files on the right that you want
to send and press that big green arrow in the center and off they go to the
remote computer.

The beauty is that immediately after your upload, you fire up your browser
and test to see if it works.

You can download a trial version good for 30 days at:

http://www.download.com/3000-2160-10018456.html

It looks like the cost is $34.95. I am talking about this application
because I am familiar with it. There are others but this one I know works
well.

Would recommend that you immediately download (and install if desired)
WS_FTP LE 5.08 (limited edition) which is freeware.. before it
disappears from the web. It's officially replaced by WS_FTP Home
which is trial / payware. When registering check `home use - non
profit' or something like that and you're good to go. Works fine..
if you like it a lot.. then purchase registered version.

Oh, one other thing. You will need to get the FTP address from your ISP.
That is the address of the server on which you web space is located.

So you need from your ISP:

1) FTP servr address
2)user id
3)password

Also find out how much space they allocate. The more the better. Of
course, you can pay more for more space :) It seems that since disk storage
costs have gone down, ISP's are offering more and more space to their users
without additional costs.
