Flight no: 818 I know the KSTL Rwy11 did not exist in 1995, but I spent so long writing the approach code for FS ATC (not the Afcad) I thought I'll be damned if I do not use it! lol
Thankyou for the kind comments Roger, it was my pleasure. I will begin work again soon on the L-10 panel. If you would like a particular TW flight to be re enacted....feel free to suggest one.
Great video... again... I must say that I always enjoy watching your recordings as they show rare and quality footage. I admire your enthusiasm and attention for details (especially with cockpit customizations). And it only shows that FS community is still alive and kicking in spite the problems it has... Great job!
Many, many thanks for immortalizing this particular L1011- TriStar. What memories, I flew TW-N31023 many times as a matter of fact there's a picture taken by Walter Wilson dating back to 2001 at the Kingsman Storage Facility at The Mojave Desert waiting to be scraped! What a sin!
Your video was simply superb. I do not know any other way to describe it. What astounds me the most is how you managed to alter the virtual cockpit, get the catering trucks and ground service vehicles to work with the aircraft, and what ties it all together are the cabin announcements which (though seemingly generic, are not) which specifically mention the airline.
Sublime as usual, Ed....love the shot of your DLC gauge working the spoilers just before touchdown! Always happy to see a Tristar vid, even if it's a bit "retro".
Thankyou, I made the Overhead and FE panel. The rest of the panel will be completely custom also. (there are still some Aerosim gauges in this version)
Thankyou very much for your constructive critique! I cannot do much about the airports or sound....but I can fix the gap in the glareshield and make the FMS/INS just an INS.
SFO view after t/o and rh turn shows the a/p with with out the AA/TW Superbay. Shows hanger but not what TW used then. TW leased 1/2 of the hangar from AA. TW half would hold two 747 with a 1011 between them with doors closed. A couple of 727s could fit in between the big birds, but they you would have to move them out before moving the jumbos. I'm just nitpicking, great job! Lots of work, thanks!!!!!! they cut my 1st post so this is the second half! lol thanks, good work...
We had L1011-500, international configuration, long range, they came to us from Saudia Airlines. Our two 747SP were involved in the deal, We trained their crews and we ran at one point their training center in RUH (Riyadh) Great airliners both, top of their game! If you look close in one of the TWA tribute videos there's a picture of a TWA-B307 Stratoliner in the ground in Saudi Arabia,( B&W1940's) most people in the picture in typical Arab Tunics!
Just had another look...in fact I can see a combo of aileron movement (linked to the spoilers if past a certain degree) and DLC (the spoilers are linked to forward and back movement of the joystick also) Note : The autopilot is off at this stage but DLC would also work with the autopilot.
Both TWA and L-1011 plane are now memories of aviation history. I would like to had been flying on board this aircraft. It was similar to DC-10 now MD-11 but clearly identified by its tail engine.
Magnificient work ed, as usual ! Too bad those great airplanes are leaving the skies more and more (along with the DC10 Id say). Keep up the awesome job
Thankyou. For the approach code you need SDE. It is a decompiler that you need from scruffyduck software ..and notepad. At 4:50 you are seeing DLC in action (Direct Lift Control) I have written a gauge that controls my spoilers with joystick movements. (google direct lift control). The L10 was ahead of it's time.
Good work. Just a few 'errors' TW didn't use gate 80 at SFO. Food truck is the wrong company for SFO. Tug wrong color and type. Cockpit was good. The INS panel didn't have what ever that is above it with all the numbers! I didn't freeze and look close. Glare shield has a cutout that wasn't there. STL doesn't have blast fences around the R/W.
Growing up in the 1980's near STL, the only planes overhead seemed to be OZ or TW. You have shown my favorite aircraft, the L-1011 in beautiful fashion, and I sincerely thank you ! BTW, do you take requests for flights ?
@sbentjies The model was not made for FSX but you might be able to get it into FSX. Pretty sure you will have problems with the panel though. I do not use FSX.
I think the Biman is still flying....just not to LHR or JFK anymore. Most of the others are for charters.. Luzair, EuroAtlantic etc. I don't think any of my favourite aircraft will be around much longer....my sim will have to be a retro sim I guess.
@edetroit Wow. Scenery is amazing. Is this model made for FSX? and is the scenery available for ten also? Awesome job on the video-couldn't tell it from real footage at times
@mizzouluvr Well you can always make requests......whether I have time to do them is another matter. Once I have finished flirting with the B732 I should be back in the L-10.
Good Morning Edetroit! This is the first time when im posting to your videos even if im a subscriber (and a fan) of yours for about half a year now. I just cant keep my question anymore. :) How do you make your panel show up the yoke on each plane? :)
Wow, what Panel do you use? And especially where do you get those Textures for the Wings (spoilers/flaps) from?! I got the Aerosim L1011 but your Textures are way better and well detailed than mine?!
(continuation from previous post due to text constraints) If I may ask, how did you get the service vehicles and such to work with the aircraft and how did you get the announcements to play in such a manner that it seems as if they are set to a gauge in the panel? An absolutely subliminal video.
Hello edetroit Could you tell me what you use for capturing these videos (without framerate loss obviously)? I would love to make a movie just like you with the Antonov 124 which visits Ostend sometimes. Please let me know. I would be forever grateful. Tobias
That the one I have but mine does not have the vertical strips (engine gages) and I do not know how to open the cargo doors. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. And how did you get the wing view too? Very nicely done.
I would like her to be...I have made custom fuel/hydraulics/overhead/radio and throttle panels. I need to replace/rewrite the Aerosim autopilot and engines gauges/systems...then she will be great.
Hello edetroit, I like your video's. And i love this L1011 video. Keep on the good work please.I have i like to ask you. Where did you get this L1011 , because i am looking for it a long time but can't find it is it payware?? Please...... will you tel me?? Greetings Marcel The Netherlands Thank you very much
Thanks for not using tail # N1 1002 not very good memories of that particular plane and incident. An aborted takeoff (TW843/JFK-SFO) is not a pleasant experience specially when it involves fire! Regarding the NTSB findings that blemish our maintenance department, I still think the pilot considering a full load and the situation acted accordingly with the training procedures at the time for that aircraft!
sorry for posting this reaction here, but i couldn't do it on the original video. Feel free to delete. I couldn't message you, but I hope you can help anyway. Here goes: could you tell me where you got the texture for the air bridge cargo 747-200 please? I'd love to fly with that livery. Also, what version of fraps do you use? Cheers

Thanks for making this great video.
I made quite a few flights on their L-1011 when visiting the US and they were one of the best airlines around.

Nice Vid Ed!
I have to say, that smokey startup was my favorite part!

The Yoke is an XML gauge which is another window...It is (has to be) custom made for each panel.
Just had another look...in fact I can see a combo of aileron movement (linked to the spoilers if past a certain degree) and DLC (the spoilers are linked to forward and back movement of the joystick also)

Excellent video of my favorite airlines! I love TWA!!!
If you have the time, that would be great.
Otherwise, just wanted to thank you for letting me relive a few TW moments.
The main paint in fact was made from a photo of a scrapped TWA L-10 at Kingman Mohave County Airport - KIGM by Keith Burton
I loved the L10. Flew first class out of Denver to NYC on it many times.
I can't say. It is a labour of love for me....and I am also doing so much other FS stuff at the same time.
Magnificient work ed, as usual ! Too bad those great airplanes are leaving the skies more and more (along with the DC10 Id say). Keep up the awesome job
nice as always edetroit, Your suberb panels are so eye candy :)
this is simply amazing. it must of taken a huge ammount of time. well done
@TWAB707 The model is a part of Classic liners vol 2 by Aerosim
Nice to see you back Ed!
Another great video from u man. i'm jelous of all your planes, they look so cool !
It is a L-10ll A/C and the Panels are about 98% correct. Good Job... Loved the smoke on start-up. Engines didn't sound right, but good!!!
Thankyou. For the approach code you need SDE. It is a decompiler that you need from scruffyduck software ..and notepad.
At 4:50 you are seeing DLC in action (Direct Lift Control) I have written a gauge that controls my spoilers with joystick movements. (google direct lift control). The L10 was ahead of it's time.
this is the thing i love about fs9 u can have tons of add ons but frame rates dont drop. and btw AWESOME vid
@EAL0333 The GSU's and Gate docking are c/o the excellent payware AES by Aerosoft.
I use Fraps for video capture ....unfortunately there is some framerate loss.
Of course.....I was very lucky. The engine tex were off a high def photo of a RAF Tristar before they painted the stripe.
Good work. Just a few 'errors' TW didn't use gate 80 at SFO. Food truck is the wrong company for SFO. Tug wrong color and type. Cockpit was good. The INS panel didn't have what ever that is above it with all the numbers! I didn't freeze and look close. Glare shield has a cutout that wasn't there. STL doesn't have blast fences around the R/W.
I will upload the ABC 742F to the POSKY site soon.
I use a registered version. I found it far more fps friendly than the demo version.
Another enjoyable video!
another great one from you
the l1011 sounds like a 747-200
Really, your videos are the best!
A fine video indeed!! A fine airline!!

Great Video as always Ed! Good to see the Tristar again. What if any ground textures or landclass do you use?
~Chris
@mizzouluvr Well you can always make requests......whether I have time to do them is another matter.
Once I have finished flirting with the B732 I should be back in the L-10.
Just awesome!
@knotts06 I thought I had released it..... maybe not. I will upload it to avsim.
I nearly caught a simultaneous landing by an AAL MD-82 at STL as well (it as landing on Rwy12R
@mizzouluvr My pleasure. What was the flight you wanted?
Good Morning Edetroit!
This is the first time when im posting to your videos even if im a subscriber (and a fan) of yours for about half a year now.
I just cant keep my question anymore. :)

Wow, what Panel do you use? And especially where do you get those Textures for the Wings (spoilers/flaps) from?! I got the Aerosim L1011 but your Textures are way better and well detailed than mine?!
@spraaight The panel is not available. For my wing textures etc search for author (Edward Cox) at avsim.
(continuation from previous post due to text constraints) If I may ask, how did you get the service vehicles and such to work with the aircraft and how did you get the announcements to play in such a manner that it seems as if they are set to a gauge in the panel? An absolutely subliminal video.
Love the engines on that bad boy Ed! ( :30) You did the paint of course?
great vid, Ed...just wondering, is there some airline flying the tristar nowdays?
Hello edetroit
Could you tell me what you use for capturing these videos (without framerate loss obviously)? I would love to make a movie just like you with the Antonov 124 which visits Ostend sometimes.

@edetroit Thanks Ed, appreciate it! :)

I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
For the moment my DLC gauge is only available to my panel beta testers.
@mizzouluvr Ok I will keep it in mind
Would love to see a LGA or FLL to STL.
I would like her to be...I have made custom fuel/hydraulics/overhead/radio and throttle panels. I need to replace/rewrite the Aerosim autopilot and engines gauges/systems...then she will be great.
Whoa!...who is giving me kisses!?...better be a gal!
Wow it is!.....erm the model is by Aerosim...part of the Classic Liners Vol 2 package.
A) where'd u get the beautifual plane with excellrnt cockpit?!?!?! be where'd u get ther realistic contrails??? and enviroments?? this is a great vid!
@sbentjies This is FS9.
Great Tristar video Ed!! Do you plan on releasing the TWA texture?
Cheers!
Hello edetroit, I like your video's. And i love this L1011 video. Keep on the good work please.I have i like to ask you.

Indeed, nicely done. Is this a Capt. Sims plane?
May I ask who's L-1011 is this as I 've been looking for one with opening cargo doors?
What STL airport is that?
Your videos are awesome!
kstlv1-1.zip
Not much in the way of airport scenery but adds the newish Rwy 11/29
and how did u record take off and landing in real time?
Sounds good to me......but in your ten years in TWA did you not know TWA never had any L1011-500s? . Maybe you meant L1011-50?
@pwnedmodder SFO is payware by Fly Tampa
can you do a request for me Ed?
If so can you do Miami INTL - Orlandi INTL In an American Airlines Boeing 757?
THanks
From Ben
All default FS9
Is this Avsim for FSX?
I thought this was going to be a video of the real thing, not a sim.
is this captain sim?
+SFRTA Nope, model is by Aerosim
