Has anyone been to area 51

Hi,
has any one been to area51 in FSX

If so may you post a screen shot

Thanks

I read about it in the FSX guide book.

No Andy, Frank B. Parker isn't in the scenery with the sphere!

(Let's see if anyone even knows what I'm talking about. )

[SWVA5630]

Yes, I flew the mission and almost got taken out by a UFO en-route. LOL!

Now that's just silly, UFO sightings happen all over the world but are somewhat rarer than an undercooked steak.

[Airliner]

Agreed - besides, any UFO seen in the Nevada desert eventually shows up years later at a USAF air show. Example: F117, B2, etc.

(The reference to Mr. Parker was from the TV series "Seven Days," in which he would jump into a sphere which could travel backwards in
time to fix things. Show didn't last long - maybe 3-4 seasons.)

[SWVA5630]

Yeah, that show was awesome though. I used to watch it all the time.

It WAS on Spike at 0900 weekdays until about a month ago.

I actually got my wife hooked on it! She laughed at how Olga kept calling
him, "Mr. Parker" when it was so obvious she had it bad for him!

Andy, I'll take the white/red 737 up there in a bit and post a screenie for ya!

Why the white paint with red stripe? Kinda looks like a Janet flight, no? They still shuttling people up there in the old B732's?

Yes, they still use Janet 732's to take people 'uprange' on the Nellis Range Complex.

Just did that mission - I completely missed it the first time. The second time, it was obvious (follow the "fast-mover" on final).

Kinda looked like a modified stealth fighter, to a degree. Or a cross between that and the X2 shuttle (that what it was called?)

Sorry - no screenshot of Area 51/Groom Lake/ Dreamland. First, I was on final and my airspeed was dropping fast. Then, I realized it
was rather quiet. DOH! MY ENGINES WERE SHUT DOWN!! Don't know how or when but, I went into a panic as I was only a few
thousand feet up (maybe 3-4), full flaps and sinking below 120 kias! Grabbed the start switches, threw the fuel switches - NOTHING!
The stupid VC controls don't always work! Switched to Panel 4 (throttle) and did a restart - still sinking; STILL sinking! Whew! Pulled it
out at around 500 feet, leveled out and touched down about halfway down the runway. I came to a full stop just at the last turnoff. Then, I
did a stupid thing - hit control + c! That's the exit immediately combo! AGH!!!!

LOL, Airliner.

Remembers me on one of my FSP flights with FS2004 where one engine got a bird strike. Not a problem ..useually. Just that my pannel
was an import from FS2002 or FS2000 and some switches and display refresh simple do not work.

Because I couldn't select only one engine to shut down I shut down both with the key. Enough altitude I had. The automatic start then
however then didnt work. (always tried the damaged first and filed, but then did not continue with the good one), and for the manual start
of a single engine I had no working switches. Also found no possibility in the key setup.
I sunk.

The very next thing I did after that experience was adding the ugly but at least working Engine start switches of the default pannels.

Which is why I remapped all my FS controls. I have all for start switches mapped to key presses and the fuel fuel switches are beneath
each corrosponding lever on my CH Throttle. All vital functions I have mapped to key presses - I think.

[Airliner]

Actually, from that angle it kind of looks like a Ferengi Marauder class vessel.
