Very good.

I think most of us have had similar lapses of attention when playing with Flightgear, but will not admit to it.

Remind me never to fly with you in real life. :)

i think you broke something when you tried the loop... that's what that first breakage sound was... you can use the V and v keys to change to other views and cycle back to the cockpit :)
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

@BBmine To embed the YouTube video, you can use the youtube tags around the video id, like below:

You can add them manually or with the [(>)] looking button on the far right above the text edit box. Also you can edit your own post. Wink, wink, hint, hint. :wink:

Done! :D
I'm used to the MT forums, which doesn't have this ;)
Or does it? Maybe I should try it sometime xD
