Fog, low cloud and torrential rain with a forecast for it all to get worse meant that this was always going to be a non flying day.
Was the airfield deserted? Not a bit of it. A steady stream of club members arrived at the warm clubhouse; some to work; some to play and some to pass the time.
The simulator was kept busy all day. Phil flew a short cross country out of Brentor. Ged tried ridge soaring the western flanks of Dartmoor (the programme seems a little inaccurate here), Jeff did some local soaring, Bob and I took on the challenge of soaring the anabatic winds in the Slovenian mountains.
It was not all play though, Jeff completed the blackout curtains for the simulator, Ged and Phil changed the clutch master cylinder in one of the Discoveries and Phil, Ged and John adjusted the rudder pedals in the K8. Between the worst of rain, Ged was to be found clearing the drainage channels. Now that's dedication!

I'm just getting a Condor simulator up and running. Can I ask what "Scenery" you used for the "local" ie Dartmoor soaring?
Thanks!
You have to first download the scenery UK vfr2 (or something like that) the dartmoor airfield is what I have added personally so you would have to get the file from the pc in the clubhouse. You will need a big memory stick though because it is a very big file :)

Have you just added Brentor as an airport to Condor? I've messing around with the devopment kit but could'nt get it to work!
If you like I probably put the hangar and club house into the scenery! (possibly even Brentor Church)
I've created alot of scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator so it should be pretty similar!
I will have a look at it on Sunday! :D

Ah - thanks Matt; trouble is I live in Vancouver BC! I'll be there in July though and will certainly drop by! Hugh
Jacob,
I've already put that all on there and more so you don't need to worry about that :)
Thanks anyway!
Matt
