You're lucky Wheels, LOL!

Want to know if you're a helicopter pilot?

Try landing Brett's MD500D on an oil rig amongst the animated cranes in X-Plane 9.



Or perhaps on the moving frigate.



Either one is a good helicopter challenge.

OK, I'm ready for X-Plane 10 and the boxed version of Take On Helicopters.

Cheers!

If you have a few minutes to kill I uploaded the .ntrk as part of my Midway Island QMB pack. Look for the video named Nogas_wc.ntrk in your video list after using the installation program. You will need to be patched up to v4.101m for the QMB pack to work but the .ntrk might be viewable on an earlier version.

Midway Island QMB - http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=4150

A direct link to the download, no need to login to M4T, for a week or so and then I will edit it out of this post. I put it between Spoiler tags to keep the bots from downloading it.

Midway Island QMB - http://www.mission4today.com/uploads/downloads/2011/files/07/4700_MidwayQMB_v1-0.zip

QMB missions for Midway Island

This download uses an auto installer to install the files for you.
The default filepath the installer uses is C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946.
If you need to use a different filepath then direct the install to your IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 folder.

If you want to install the files manually then direct the auto installer to a temporary folder and use the included readme for instructions on where the files are to be placed.

I did not use the Armor or Bridge categories.

----------------

The files in this download should allow you to use the Midway map to generate missions using the QMB. The QMB files were made with v4.10.1m of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946.

Enclosed in this download are the "Midway" and "Midway1" Quick templates for the Midway map, a skin by Beebop for the B-17E, and some Quicks for you to use to familiarize yourself with the "Midway" and "Midway1" QMB templates. On the "Midway" templates the Allies occupy the island and on the "Midway1" templates the Axis forces occupy the island.

Got it! Had to log in, but no problem. It gave me a chance to browse around anyway. I haven't been there in awhile.

Cheers!

Glad to hear you downloaded it. Do you go by Sauron there too ??
I am curious to know if you tried the link I put between the spoiler tags to get the file? That link should have been a direct link to the download allowing you to get the file without logging into the site.

I was able to use the installer on Win7 and so was someone else that tested the installer before I uploaded it. Let me know if you run into any problems and I will help you get them sorted. smile

Nah, I'm Oubaas over there. I'm Sauron here and at Lockon Files.

Yeah, I tried the link between the spoiler tags but it still wanted me to log in.

Cheers!

Must be allowing me to download the files while logged out since my external IP matches the upload even though I am using a different computer. I will have to turn off my modem and see if getting a new external IP disables the link for me too.

It could be me. My computer doesn't tell the truth and continually churns out bullsh*t. There are a couple of German sites that won't even let me in because they can tell my machine is lying.

Normally I don't have any problem, but every once in awhile a site looks at my IP address and says, "Uh, that's a load of crap!" I haven't figured out how they know yet.

Cheers!

Rick... hahaha

I'm flying a Bell UH-1U Iroquois for VXE-6 on the ice in support of Operation Deep Freeze today. Now there's some unusual virtual Naval aviation.

If you want to fly in a disorienting environment with little useful visual reference, give this a try in FSX.





Cheers!

Hey Rick, those are great shots! What chopper and what scenery do you use on the last ones?
