PL965Melo Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Mar 14 0O0 - KSBP Flight report" 03-15-04, 05:46z  Hi Ben, >Glad you were able to join us for the flight. Hope you'll >be able to join us again. Should be able to join you more often now that most of the connection kinks are worked out. Almost missed this flight because we had all of our carpets shampooed in the afternoon and the guy was running late. Only managed to sit down at the PC at 10 mins before flight time. >Ah, no sweat. No need to explain. Yes, thanks. I just prefer to figure it out when something happens that is so unexpected. Granted, it was my first C208 landing on land. I won't miss a joystick calibration as part of all my pre-online flights checklist items ever again. >How fast were you at that point? Frame rate is another >issue. When you get close to the ground (as when landing), >especially with complex add-on scenery like our KSBP VPC >edition, the drop in frames can cause a lot of problems >like over correcting PIO's (Pilot Induced Oscillations). Not sure but somewhere in the range of 110 - 120 KIAS. Should have been a reasonable speed. Frame rate is not a problem with my system at KSBP. (2.0 Ghz PC) >Well, glad you got it figured out. Me too as I mentioned above. >There's no need to provide "proof" of anything. We don't >grade landings (well, except for tb's!) Ok, my submitted photos don't include the 2nd landing. >As long as you had fun and maybe learned something, then >it was a good flight. And that's all that counts. Yes to both counts! >The easiest to send a pix is to upload them to the File >Library Forum or just email them to me. Sent you an email with three representative photos from the flight, thanks. And the next landing I make will be much more on the mark! Maybe if we fly Spitfires one of these times. Only have about a thousand FS hours in the type.
