Uh Oh… We’re Losing Power And Need To Land
On one hand, I had a minor emergency with my new plane, and I’m pretty happy with the way I handled it and did the whole flying safe thing for real.
On the other hand, it wasn’t a hardware failure with the plane and was entirely down to an undocumented control configuration, with an unlabeled key switch. I should have caught this earlier if I was paying attention, on the Cirrus there’s a requirement to check the electrical power during the run up, but not on this plane, I think I’m adding it to my checklists.
Beyond this, the plane has been great to fly, we’ve managed to fix the right screen, which had been written off by the avionics people we approached. The biggest remaining problem is the right wingtip nav light isn’t working, and as far as we can tell there’s a broken or disconnected wire from the time the wing was removed for transport. The final flight by the previous owner ended with the plane running out of fuel and landing in a field, and it’s likely that something wasn’t properly connected.

WHAT
what-tiny-details-of-saturn-v-rocket
I've now got 2 Saturn V models and wanted to look at the detailed surface features which all have a real function as part of the design.
The word 'Greeble' isn't correct of course, it's a model building term that refers to all sorts of non-functional detailling added to plain surfaces to make them look more interesting.

Continuing my 'muck around' with StarMade, I sell some of my cactus and expand my ship so that I can mine asteroids, then I discover that NPC's aren't like those in Eve Online - i.e. they will happy shoot at pilots in space without ships.

FRONT
frontier-first-encounters-elite-3
Everyone is loving Elite 4, and the new Premium Beta 2 release has just happened. However I thought it would be interesting to go back and look at Elite 3, albeit with a replacement binary that supports modernized graphics.
If you already own Frontier: First Encounters then you can get an updated binary from this site.

HOW T
how-to-dock-with-iss-in-spacex's-free
In advance of the DM-2 Flight carrying crew to the ISS using the first privately designed and built spacecraft SpaceX have released a cut down version of the Dragon simulator which allows you to fly the docking sequence with the ISS. While this is only a cut down version of a full Dragon 2 simulation, it does give you a chance to see how the user interface design is radically different from existing space vehicles.
It also gives you a chance to fly recklessly around a simulated ISS, since they won't let you do that in real life.
