• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

"Ummmm, I was flying along in my Bonanza over the desert when I saw this strange ship.
Errr.. no sir, I'm not sure where I was.. the only thing marked on the map is a dry lake..
ummm.. yeah.... Broom? Groom? something like that... no, there was no airstrip marked on MY map! No Sir! That also surprised me..."

"excuse me but I have to hang up now... there is someone breaking down my front door..."
 
So, it's true then. The Earth's governments are being run by shape shifting aliens. No sir, Mr. Government Agent, sir, I didn't see anything. Must have been that chili I had for lunch.......

Klingon or Romulan?

I didn't get close enough to find out.


Actually from what I remember when I downloaded it, it's Klingon. There was a much nicer looking Klingon Bird of Prey, but it was doing some wierd spinning around when used as AI.
 
The thing about playing with Area 51 and AI is that you can let your imagination run wild. And if you dig through the FlightSim file library, you can find some interesting stuff to put in there.
 
Interesting timing---

Short Final

FABC:
"Tower, be advised there were several large birds on approach to runway 32."

YKF Tower (spotting birds through binoculars) :
"Roger. XYZ, look out for multiple birds of prey on approach."

FXYZ:
"Klingons in sight, XYZ."

BTW, "YKF" is the real airport... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region_of_Waterloo_International_Airport
 
I don't know what's stranger: The spaceships, or Willy actually flying a GA aircraft! :isadizzy:
 
Sometimes you just have to broaden your horizons :icon_lol:

Actually the Carenado Bonanza comes in handy for our GA events like the one coming up. Not the fastest out there, but with decent speed and range for a GA aircraft.
