Welcome to the real world. I fly a high performance, complex,
retract, single (Beech Debonair/F33) and am instrument rated. Since
1992 I've not been West of the Rockies, Never reached the Atlantic
coast (except South Carolina), or the Gulf of Mexico (Except Florida)
OTOH, I put 1300 hours on in that area and fully a third of my flying
was more than a couple hundred miles from home.

I had a superb dessert last night - Vanilla ice cream whisked up with
Cointreau -- whoo whoo!

Hi Roger

That all sounds familiar.
IRL many years ago now, I flew mostly C172, C150 and Cherokee 180 for a
total of only 600 hrs or so as PIC.
None of them terribly complex aircraft - but certainly a hell of a lot of
fun. ))
My only regret through all that, was that in never got as far as a night VMC
rating - with the result that I have *never* been flying at night - not even
on the many commercial flights that I've been on over the years. (My flying
instructor packed his bongo's and moved onto greener pastures).
Its a point of extreme frustration for me, and is very high on my "to do"
list before I start pushin up daisies.

Most of those hours were spent in my home state of Queensland Au, a few
times I ventured into the light aircraft airport at Archerfield (South
Brisbane),
once into Coolangatta (south of Brisbane & right on the Queensland/New South
Wales border - on the coast). As part of my final nav exercises I flew
Toowoomba to Tamworth - a total round trip of about 6hrs.
Other than that - everything else was within a 300Nm radius of my home town.

I seem to have carried on this same "tradition" even in the flight sim
world.
FS is a great fill-in for those days or yore.

I'll try to respond personally to everyone in this thread - thanks to
everyone for their suggestions - I will be trying every single one them.

Firstly, might I suggest, since you fly in FS9, that you get a Galaxy
Membership at FS Genesis

Secondly, check out VOZ, and also Orbyx (although its for FSX)......

That sounds pretty good. I've come across quite a few of recipes in my cook
books where Cointreau is added. Never gave it any serious thought, as I am
more of a beerdrinker. I'll have to pick up a bottle.

Just don't drink it straight, it tastes like S***, but it's great for
desserts and as a drink ingredience (adding taste and flavour to Vodka
o) )

Greg T,

Yup, "Chicks on sticks" is a treasure hunting adventure in FS9 ;o)

What does "S***" taste like? )

Vodka, Cointreau, a splash of OJ and some rocks. How's that?

Frank Zappa once said, in denying rumours that he had eaten S**t on stage,
the closest he ever came to eating s**t was a meal he once had at the
Edgewater Inn, Seattle, WA.

Cointreau has the taste of oranges, so adding OJ.......waste of breakfast
