  1. Correction, just looked at the auction, actually ends Monday 1400 UK time, someone's put a bid in for £1, so at least it's going to sell, rather just have £1 than put it into landfill!
  2. This is what the listing says: 35 Just Planes Airline DVD's produced between 2000 and 2014. Boxes and DVD's are in good condition. But be in no doubt, the quality of the video is no where near what we expect now, it's not even Blu Ray. Think typical VCR quality - was probably recorded with a hand held camcorder. That said the videos are perfectly viewable as are all the ancient VCR stuff on you tube, just don't expect crystal clear quality. Most are 2 to 4 hours long, showing multiple sectors - sometimes up to 10 flights. If there's any particular DVD you'd like more information on please message me, but I won't be breaking up the collection. UK sale only, as there's no region information on the box - but I know they work in the UK. Very low reserve £1- not expecting much for them, but would rather they went to an enthusiast than landfill! Paypal only - Auction ends Sunday 1400 UK time. I won't be ending the auction early. If you want to see pics of the titles available - visit the listing here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/306868636345?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e12000.m113256.l116967&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=e3bb32e2f6a34192942abbfb03232f5c&bu=43132254572&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20260408060230&segname=12000&mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e12000.m113256.l116967&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=e3bb32e2f6a34192942abbfb03232f5c&bu=43132254572&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20260408060230&segname=12000
  3. There are alternatives to Imgur, that work in the UK. This one works well, can be used without sign up, very intuitive. https://postimages.org/
  4. Same here, nippa! (retired 2010). Tip for the original poster - take a look at the FR24, you'll see the Heathrow inbounds via BIG, including indicated airspeeds, rates of descent, and levels achieved, really not an issue for them, assuming a timely descent from ATC. Agree with nippa, being able to achieve the minimum holding level and holding speed at BIG (usually FL70, 220kts max), is essential for Heathrow Approach.
  5. I'm pretty sure that MSFS2020 requires internet access to run? The scenery is streamed, not stored on the PC.
  6. "That overhead image is not from the PC12-47 (that the SWS models). That's from the PC12 NGX that is made by Carenado for MSFS." I googled PC12 overhead to find an image - and got that image, just to show the CB in issue - it is the SWS PC12 that's the problem, but thanks for the observation.
  7. Bought it yesterday (MSFS2024) - just tried a quick flight to test it, on the runway, engine running. Keep getting a Bus Tie warning, circuit breaker resets, but 30 seconds later pops out again. Probably need to study the manual, but anyone had this happen? Thanks
  8. There's a tick box in the Pimax play software for using the headset speakers, is that ticked?
  9. I didn't do any sign up, just opened the site link - clicked on choose image - picked the Apollo one I just downloded! Then the Upload complete box is shown, Direct link, 2nd one down on the list is what you want, copy it it, paste it into your post - and it's there!
  10. Re "These screenshots are from IMGUR. How do I post them Here then?" I switched to https://postimages.org/ Very intuitive interface - no sign up required, seems to work fine in the UK
  11. As a recent purchaser of "Spotty", which actually is a very cool utility, for av-geeks, I tried this function just out of curiosity, but can see that jerky aircraft movement you can see in the video, which rather spoils it. Admittedly, Spotty has very little to do with flying as such, but I enjoy 20 minutes or so spotting at major airports, coupled with FSLTL (free realtime traffic) which uses FR24 data. Also a very quick way of exploring the world, POI's, 3d cities, to decide if it's somewhere you'd like to fly from, in a way that's far quicker than flying around there.
  12. MSFS 2024 can be installed on more than one PC if that's what you mean, but you can only run one version at a time. Use the original xbox login, and it should be available for download.
  13. Actually, I didn't know that Imgur had switched off UK access, but if it's useful for anyone, I use https://postimages.org/ very easy intuitive interface, no sign up, works well.
  14. This is why I prefer SkyDemon maps, the information you need, but not totally obscuring the topographical features, for visual navigation. The area from SkyDemon below. There's actually a lot of nice GA airfields around there, I've put black boxes around a few. There are 3 actually inside the Heathrow Control zone, you don't need permission from Heathrow, there's special procedure for them, something like all circuits away from Heathrow, not above 1200ft VFR, remain within 2 miles of the airfield, that type of thing. One big issue is that Controlled airspace starts at 2500ft, so all the VFR traffic is below that, usually around 2000ft, on a sunny weekend, the airspace is very busy, really need to keep a good lookout!
  15. Off topic - sorry, but I see this "Content not viewable" notice quite often. The poster is UK based, same as me, any idea why?
