So i had to shut her down after 3 Minutes running. But the Mechanic said she is fine.
Pfuuhh... What a temper!

Mechanics and Flight Engineers are suckers for Scotch. A few bottles given discreetly will have them forgive you just about anything:salute:
 
Very nice picture Nic.

Does anybody find the canopy glass a tad overdone with the blue effect, when viewed from certain angles.

Cheers.

Thanks, i will keep that in mind. :icon_lol:
Oh, on my first 2 Flights i did a mistake. Since i have Tooltips off, i thought the Mixture Lever is at rich when pushed forward (like in the most Planes). But in the Spit its vice versa. So i was doing all the Flying and Ground Operations on a lean mixture....

The canopy misted badly. Had to open the hood and it cleared after a few seconds!!!

Few seconds before a sweet three pointer touchdown. This bird does it so well:

The best part. It went well with only spark plugs to clean. I'll watch my idling next time:

Well... If you hit cold start, and go into the VC, he will again appear.

Try going to the external view, then hit cold start. He should disappear, and stay gone until you enter VC again.
