Accra (ACC) to Manston (MSE) in HD

[tubelib]

how do you edit the ATC script?

[QbaStopAnimation]

Your panels are the best.

[djomercohen]

no vc? too bad...

[edetroit]

@djomercohen No VC.....too good! :)

[wisnu1231]

@edetroit why

[goodspeed777]

Hello Ed, will you ever release any of these magnific works that you have done with these panels? I love the DC-8 and my actual dream is to be able to fly one online with all these gadgets you have on this amazing panel you have created.

Congratulations this panel is AWESOME.

[Phoenixcuba]

Hello. When will be available this panel?

Thanks.

[edetroit]

@Phoenixcuba don't hold your breath.

[hazelhonda]

@Phoenixcuba

Is it available and if so where can I ge it?

I am a dc-8 fan but have not seen a good panel. This one looks great!

[edetroit]

@hazelhonda I'm afraid it is not available.

[metroliner2]

Congratulations for your awesome DC-8 panel! I am the one who has designed the actual HJG DC-8 panel back in the year 2002 and I am now working (very slowly because the spare time is never enough) on a brand new FS9 DC-8 panel project that will be almost identical to the one you show in your videos. I'd love to fly my DC-8 flights on VATSIM with your panel!

[Airbus294]

Does the manston scenery by uk2000 make the surrounding terrain accurate? Because when I fly to Manston on FS2004 the coast looks nothing like that. Or do you have some terrain addon?

[edetroit]

@Airbus294 I just checked and I do have an add-on scenery mesh for the British Isles as well.......but which one it is I cannot remember. lol

[Airbus294]

@edetroit not to worry! I have so many add-ons that I forget which I have too.

[FlugSimulatorXfan]

I must have this cockpit!

Can you make it availible(sorry I don´t know how to write that) anyway?

[Physicspilot]

Where did you download the Accra scenery from?

[edetroit]

@Physicspilot  fsnabisso(dot)com

[Physicspilot]

@edetroit Thank you.

[gdw22]

Hi Ed,

is your ATC standard?, i always have problems using my FMC and IFR flights together, they always contradict each other!. Do you use FS planner or do you just fly VFR?

[edetroit]

@gdw22 Is my ATC standard? Probably not anymore..... thanks to Jim Vile I have learnt how to write approaches for FS9. As Fs9 gets older so does it's database. I find myself writing new approaches for every flight now.... for example the DME ARC approach in this video is written by me.

I always fly IFR and I do use the FS Flightplanner along with FMC's.

My next flight will be using the Flight 1 ATR's FMC along with a new RNAV approach written for FSATC

[gdw22]

@edetroit

I wondered how you got ATC to correspond with ur FMC. FS ATC is useless when trying to follow my FMC route i'm always being told to go on a different heading

[edetroit]

@gdw22 well basically you need to write the same route into the FS Flightplanner as your FMC flight plan .

I do this manually but I believe FS Build will convert real world flight plans ...or pretty much any flight plan format to FS flight planner format.

[gdw22]

@edetroit, Will look into it, hopefully i can sort something out so ATC will follow my sids and stars even if its some of the way. Thanks for your help

[poskyflyer]

@edetroit hey ed great video, just wondering if there is a way to get a good trans ATL flight plan for planes like the project opensky 777 that dont have an fmc, could fs build do that?

[edetroit]

@poskyflyer I do not have FS Build.... but I think if you can get a real world flight plan FS Build can convert if for the FS Flightplanner.

You might like to check flightaware for flightplans

[poskyflyer]

@edetroit oh ok but im really tired of tryin to fly the project opensky 777 over the pond just dct to the other airport

[edetroit]

@poskyflyer Just had a look at Flightaware. Here is a real world flightplan for BAW 178 (Boeing 772) from Terminal 7 KJFK to Terminal 5 EGLL.

[poskyflyer]

@edetroit ya but the default fs plan wont load waypoints :( i just thought you would know a way to get waypoints in the default fs flight planner :P

[edetroit]

@poskyflyer Well I do but it is quite long winded. You could write the plan into FSBuild and it would convert it easily.

The Atlantic waypoints are not in the FS database so I have written them myself so that bit is easy for me....for the rest if one writes the plan into a PMDG 747 or LevelD 767 FMC you will get the individual waypoints.

As I said FSBuild makes it easy as the waypoints do not have to be in the FS database.

[Maxpilot777]

Hi Ed. Great vids. BTW, do you advise the Aerosim model?

[edetroit]

@Maxpilot777 The only Aerosim DC-8 model I like is the Classic Freighters 2 model.

But i do not think we have seen the definitive DC-8 model in FS yet.

[gdw22]

hi Ed,

Which graphics card are you using and do you use any add-on terrain as at cruising altitude the terrain looks amazing esp when flting over Paris!

Many Thanks

[edetroit]

@gdw22 My graphics card is a 1Gb Nvidia GTX 285 (186.18 drivers plus NHancer)

The photo real Paris scenery is called Flight Paris by France VFR.

[737FSPilot]

The realism in this video is pure insanity.

[FAlonso22]

It isn´t your best landing, but great vid as always Ed. I love your PIC views :)

[edetroit]

@FAlonso22 Thankyou Jorge. Yes continuously changing aircraft type does not make for good landings. lol

That's why I like Mr SAS as he always flies 737NG's

[luislaurencio]

hey Ed have you ever receive a job proposition from a a company like CLS or PMDG or Captain Sim,,i think they will like your panels because yours ones are better than theirs????????/

[dawid320a]

nice nice nice nice :) extra :)

[CAY999Tyler]

Amazing as always!

[rappinCheese]

HOW DO U GET THE DIFFERENT ATC VOICE?

[MrPoundNote]

@rappinCheese He adds it in post production. I think it's his most asked question.

[PittsSZ]

Fantastic job, Ed. Always great to see the DC-8 panel in action, especially on a unique route like that one.

[Qantas25]

Nice touch of getting default FSATC to say DME Arc. You never fail to surprise us, Ed.

[edetroit]

@Qantas25 5* for noticing! ......the DME ARC for ILS rwy28 does not exist in the FS database. I had to compromise a bit as I believe one cannot write a DME ARC for a localizer (as written in the chart) . The MTN NDB is in the right place but has no DME so I had to fake a VOR/DME over the MTN NDB and name it MTN.

Still it works!

[Qantas25]

@edetroit FSATC can be modified, I added a few waypoints in a year or so ago before I flew on VATSIM. I'm not strong with DME approaches... yet. I'll be testing a few once I get back from my holiday.

Have you ever considered flying an older Boeing... like the 727 or 707?

[edetroit]

@Qantas25 Oh I know FS ATC can be modified .... you will have heard/seen FS ATC modifications with almost every video flight I have made . lol

I am busy with some other panels right now but I definitely want to make a 707 panel one day.

[Qantas25]

@edetroit I always watch your videos for little surprises like ATC modifications.

Are these "other panels" new panels we are yet to see, or just re-works of your current brilliant work?

[edetroit]

@Qantas25 All re-works.

[Qantas25]

@edetroit Sounds great. I have a question to ask you about views in 2D panels, if you wouldn't mind. I'm assuming the answer can be modified for other panels, too.

When creating a new viewpoint in the 2D view, how exactly do I do it? I changed some view settings for a wingview and they didn't change in the sim. Hoping this isn't too much hassle for you.

[AVIATIONSOUNDEXPERT]

Algiers control over England?

[edetroit]

@AVIATIONSOUNDEXPERT highly unlikely.

[Airbus294]

My home airport! I love Manston!

[wazzawazza73]

@Airbus294 Me too!

[b747power]

Where did you get this plane ?

[JamesB767]

Awesome video :D

[AirBerlinFSX]

Hey nice Video
