Mad Dog:

..... They will assist us with redesigning the avionics and radar on the Mirage F1 in Falcon 4, also the HUD modes - and best of all we will get the legendary Ivan Pentz to flight test the models as we develop them. This is a true honour indeed........

Back to work

Hoi,

De vakantie is voor velen al weer voorbij. En aangezien de vakantie periode de druktste periode in het jaar is voor mij, heb ik nu weer tijd voor andere zaken.
Bijvoorbeeld Falcon nieuws.
Dus we zijn er weer.

Kangnung - Sachon charts

Red Dog heeft ook niet echt stil gezeten gedurende de vakantie periode en 2 nieuwe charts geproduceerd.
Een bijzondere in deze is de approach van Sachon. Liggend tussen de bergen is dit een bijzondere approach. Moeilijk maar leuk.
Red Dog hierover:

Now that's interesting. Kangnung is a 08/26 and surrounded by terrain west and south of the airport.
So if approach to RWY 26 is pretty easy with the ILS, it's not safe for RWY 08. So the procedure here calls for a circle to land.
Basically, it means you have to approach as if you were landing on rwy26, but you're not
You follow the ILS until the MDA (Minimum Descent altitude) and stay at that altitude until you have the runway in sight (don't you dare go lower, I'll be on the runway and taking down serial numbers. 
Once you have the rwy in visual, you can start the pattern around the airport to land on the opposite rwy. You have two ways to do it: if you spot the rwy visually in time to enter a downwind leg, do so. If not, you have to overfly the runway and perform a full double pattern as described in the chart............

Badgers cockpits

Kreeg een mailtje van Matt Wagner van Eagle Dynamics / Lock On met het volgende verzoek:

In regards to "Badgers cockpits" downloads in your news section, these files use art work directly "ripped" from Lock On: Modern Air Combat.
This is in direct violation of the EULA.
As stolen property, TFC/Eagle has asked me to contact you to request that you delete the files, linking news and any future files that use art work owned by Eagle Dynamics.
Failure to comply will result in legal action.

Sincerely,

Matt Wagner

Nu ben ik in het verleden wel vaker "gevraagd" zaken te verwijderen etc, maar in dit geval is er gewoon spraken van slecht jatwerk.
Jammer want de cockpits zagen er zeker goed uit.

Bij deze .....
