i'm like 7.25 hours into the flight... speed 490kts, left EGKK on heading 105 using the "heading bug" setting in the AP... the HUD shows i'm on 107 now... altitude 35000 feet... have just passed Lahore, Pakistan OPLH and OPLA... next up about 500nm in the distance is Nepal... not sure what will happen as we approach the shoreline of China and head toward the Philippines but will be watchful over the next hours... haven't seen any problems so far...
i had made some adjustments to my FG settings the other week... mainly reducing the visibility options to try to keep my memory consumption down... so far, FG is using only about 4Gig of RAM and i've been over a lot of scenery and had a lot of cloud changes due to live METAR... all ALS sliders are set at maximum... FPS running from 17 to 20...
"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."
