That Just Flight C-152 is awesome, I got it in the payware Flying Club last year :D

G-BRNE is also the first aircraft I took the controls of in real life, I got a trial flight in it for my 13th birthday presents from my parents down at EGKA:

Hey Andrew, at 13 did you find the controls of a Cessna really heavy? I'd only just got used to the controls of the club 172 when I switched to the Tecnam (light as controls). When I flew a 152 at Bankstown, it was so freakin heavy to bank (relatively)

You know, I've got a subscription to PC Pilot and the latest one includes the Just Flight Tiger Moth demo and reviews IL-2 and VOX ATC and a few others

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

Must have been cool flying the same aircraft in FS. This is the same aircraft, Just Flight are giving it away on the disc.

What sort of dvd drive do you have Jon? My 4 mounth old $95 asus writer and dual layer reader would refuse to to load it after so much trying, this british dvd doesn't work <_< If I new they didn't bother to make dvds that were compatible with such popular drivers as ASUS then I would have reconsiderd buying pcpilot...

at least the magazine is got good stuff in it, ill be complaining about the disc to them if I can't get it to work thow..

Go into the drives properties and change the format. Dvds have different formats. We use PAL, others like america use NTSC.

Thats only the way video is encoded, it will not affect the way data is stored on the disc. All DVDs should be readable regardless of what region they have come from. Whether or not you can watch the video is another story.

However, as this is supposed to be a data DVD, then you should not have any issues. Sounds like a dud disc (or its dirty) or the drive is faulty. Seeing as you tried it in a couple, then I would suspect the disc.

Was even more surprised to see the January issue of Toady's Pilot on sale in Whitcoull's - the April issue went on sale today back home!


At least the roller coaster approach into Welly lived up to it's name!
