These flights took place on Nov 8th and 16th.

After the past few flights and experiencing issues in aircraft control and multiplayer, I decided to take some time to sit down with the sim and iron them out, flying the pattern around 3N6 Old Bridge as I did so.

First issue was the weathercocking of the aircraft, which I hadn’t really noticed on the first few flights but the last flight both Andrew and I almost ran off the runway landing at 3N6 it was so bad. First I flew the aircraft around with live weather and noticed I was definitely being pushed around on take off and climb out, looking behind and seeing how far off to the side of the runway I was. Coming in to land I also felt the need to really crab into the wind on final approach and after touchdown had to apply a good deal of rudder to stay on the runway, but I was ready for it this time. After confirming the behavior was still present, I went to clear and calm preset weather conditions and flew the pattern again. Departure was in line with the runway and I had no issues rolling out on landing. People on the forums claim this has been a persistent issue but I’ve certainly not noticed it prior to one of the major updates when landing in the 152 – I guess I’ve been lucky with good runway alignment and/or light winds. I didn’t play around with the windspeed to see if there was a threshold to when the weathercocking turns extreme. Okay so, know to be extra ready on landing if in a crosswind – moreso than I would expect anyways I mean. Weathercocking is a proper action of the aircraft but it just feels a bit overdone.

Second and third issues relied on waiting for a chance to fly with Andrew since they related to multiplayer. We had trouble seeing each other properly despite our settings and also he was having trouble getting live weather. I even reinstalled the entire sim to get back to a clean start and with that when I loaded up into the game not only could I actually see him he could see me flying the correct aircraft rather than a generic low-wing Piper-type. So then I started adding back mods and playing with settings until he saw me as a low-wing aircraft again. The trial and error found that me using a custom livery was the problem. Surprisingly, when I gave my livery to Andrew he was able to see me properly, and when I installed the livery he was using, I also saw him textured correctly! The game supports liveries in multiplayer! I never saw that in the change log for any updates and was pretty sure that wasn’t a thing originally because I remember editing the aircraft texture files directly to show his plane in the livery he was flying. However also that was before the freeware developer scene really got the hang of using liveries, so maybe the ability to see them properly in multiplayer was always there it was just the extra liveries were not made properly yet.

The latest major sim update also seemed to have cleared up weather issues for Andrew, although we still flew a pattern together with calm and clear preset to make sure we could do it in formation – he had no trouble keeping pace with me so that means the last flight when we had trouble staying together it was likely because our “live weather” was different and I was in a headwind when he was not.

We should be making our next real flight later today if things go well, which is why I’m finally forcing myself to write about the past two flights last month that got us ready to take on this next one. Whether I write it up today too is another matter…

    Australia Tobacconist Hub The Contradiction of an Australian Cigarette Website: Health Advice vs. Sales An online service has emerged offering Australian residents the ability to purchase cigarettes and tobacco with delivery to their door. The website which goes by Australia Tobacconist Hub is full of mixed messages: aggressive marketing of cheap cigarettes alongside disclaimers about the health risks of tobacco use. Available Items The platforms primary target audience is people who smoke trying to cut costs. Key items on the price list include: Double Happiness brand — 190 per carton 10 packets x 20s Manchester Sapphire Blue – Dubai Version — 220 per carton Manchester Special Edition Flow Red – Dubai Edition — 250 per carton Manchester Blue Crush Dubai Version — 250 per carton Dunhill Blue – UK Edition — 220 per carton Dunhill Red UK Version — 190 per block Benson & Hedges Gold — 160 per block Zhongnanhai brand — 180 per carton The seller stresses “competitive prices” Cheap Tobacco Australia and the availability of well-known names such as Marlboro Manchester Bossku Double Happiness and others. Shipping and Billing The seller promises quick dependable and private shipping across Australia Fast Tobacco Delivery Australia. They state that they take various payment options including bank transfer USDT PayPal Wise and more. Customer interaction is conducted via WhatsApp and email — a common practice in the shadow economy for online tobacco sales. Mixed Messages Curiously enough the identical platform that sells cigarettes while formally warning that it is illegal to sell tobacco products to minors also features a “STOP SMOKING” image with an drawing of a cigarette passing through human lungs. In a section titled “STOP TOBACCO” the text says: “Quitting isnt easy but each attempt matters. Within minutes your body begins to heal — and over time your health and vitality return. Begin your journey now” This public health message is placed near a list of items for sale with prices from 160 to 250 per carton and a prompt to buy: “Buy Cigarettes Online in Australia at the Best Price.” Such hypocrisy is common of unlicensed or “grey market” tobacco shops that try to feign social responsibility while continuing to sell addictive products. Potential Legal Problems The text leaves unclear whether the seller possesses a proper local permit for tobacco. Australia is famous for some of the strictest tobacco laws in the world including standardised packaging rules and very large tobacco duties. The offer of “cheap” cigarettes — especially “Dubai Edition” or “UK Version” — often points to untaxed smuggled or counterfeit goods. Conclusion The online shop described above is a textbook example of a dark-market cigarette seller. It profits from smokers’ wish for cheaper prices in the midst of Australia’s expensive official cigarette prices while hiding behind empty health warnings and claims of customer care. Potential buyers should keep in mind that purchasing unregulated cigarettes carries not only the chance of legal trouble but also a complete lack of quality or safety guarantees.
