Shalom Chuck,

Well the event called for class 2 and what could I do?? Smiling You know you cannot expect me to break CVA rules concerning requirement of specific class:):)

I would never fly in props:):):)

This is latest version of freeware Project Fokker 100 with 650 Tray engines (you can see that this plane is using new shiny engines)

I did try to use CVA's own Project Fokker 100 with CVA livery but this did not work in my FSX. The CVA plane kept hopping like rabbit so I guess it must be older version that was not compatible with FSX.

So I used the latest version of Project Fokker 100 with Tray 650 engines and found appropriate livery that was strictly Canadian based and themed to maintain Canadian flavor for this flight.

Aharon

Aharon likes that new little Fokker. He used to be a Big Fokker kind of guy, but now he's a little Fokker instead.

:mrgreen:

Darryl,

Nah I am still 777-200LR person as stated on my CVA signature:):):):)

I would recommend to all of you latest version of freeware Project Fokker 100 with Tray 650 engines. It flies very good and handles nicely!!!

I also tested another small jet passenger airline plane too in past events and will post screenshots later. I have too many screenshots piling up in my laptop waiting to be published!!

Regards,

Aharon

I wasn't aware that the Project Fokker F100 panel would work in FSX? Does it or do you have it aliased to something else?

Chuck,

I resorted to the sin of aliasing to FSX default 738 panel :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Regardless of the panel, it flies nicely!!!

Regards,

Aharon
