Peugeot 206 (not an image of the actual car)

The car I have been mostly using is my girlfriend’s 206 (Quicksilver). With it’s 1.4 engine it was a bit nippier than the Corsa, although (despite the stats found on the net) I’m sure it wasn’t as quick as my previous Rover. This 206 has had problems with the steering column in the past and I believe has had an impact on the power steering, thus making it very heavy, especially noticeable when switching to different cars. The controls are laid out quite similar to my Rover which was helpful. I like the position of the mounted radio/CD controls, but, probably due to the car taking more ware-and-tear, they are generally less responsive. The driving position is a little awkward, though probably due to the fact I’ve had much more experience with driving it (incl. through France and back) I felt more confident and comfortable than in the Corsa. Fuel seemed to go down a little too quick for my liking and the air blowers (pross not the tech term) blew in the wrong directions, i.e. when my feet were freezing, I’d turn the heat up, move the dial so the hot air should be directed to my feet, but instead it would blow toward the top of my legs and then into my face.

+  Layout, design.

- Fuel consumption, too many niggles.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Episode 2.06 - “The Tower Is Tall, But The Fall Is Short”

Written by: Denise The

Directed by: Tawnia McKiernan

One of the more calmed down episodes of the season. Don’t get it wrong, though. Calmed down meaning less action, but so much happened in this episode. I really enjoyed it. It gave a lot of characters a chance to grow, and show us what’s going on with them. And one big hunk of doughnut, they gave us a final answer to the question of the season; Did John or Sarah kill Sarkissian?

After the jump: My spoiler filled review of “The Tower is Tall, but the Fall is Short”

- SPOILER WARNING -

In this episode, the Connor Crew look into the next name on their “Wall of Weird.” He’s a child psychiatrist and family therapist. The Connors bug his office, and start to go in for individual sessions with him. At the same time, Catherine Weaver, the T-1000,  has been taking her “daughter,” (that is to say the daughter of the true Catherine Weaver, whose place the T-1000 has taken.)

Weaver throughout this episode intends to make her fake-out more convincing. She doesn’t just need to fool the general public, she needs to fool the child as well. Fooling the child into thinking her mom is still the same person, will make her a happier child and take away any outside suspicion. This whole plot line was very interesting to me. Its great to see the kid isn’t some hologram demon child, although deep down I was kind of hoping she would be. How cool would it be to have a tiny little girl terminator running around shooting people’s heads off? Okay, maybe not. But I definitely enjoyed the mystery element surrounding the child. Now that the mystery is gone, you pity her. I liked fearing her. “RUN ELLISON! SHOOT IT! KILL IT ELLISON!”

Derek runs into an old friend of his from the future, Jessy. She’s come back in time, supposedly to escape the war and live a “normal” life. Derek even gets a little action, which should help him loosen up. But this chick isn’t being completely honest. She’s surveying Derek and John and definitely has some kind of hidden agenda. She’s a liability and I can already tell, Derek’s going to make the mistake of inviting her into the inner circle.

Ellison was around a bit in this episode. It makes me happy to see him involved. He’s still one of my favorite characters and I wish he had more to do. In this episode he grows more curious about what’s going on in the lower floors of the building.

Down there, Weaver’s team is working on the Turk. It’s learning. And as it learns, it starts acting weird. Giving the team illogical responses. Weaver uses Doctor Sherman to analyze the Turk’s message. Turns out the Turk was making a joke. And not a very funny one. The turk’s getting pretty scary. The Connors questioned what this guy could possibly have to do with SkyNet. Well, it appears Weaver’s hired him as a consultant regarding their project with the Turk. Thanks to John debugging the room, the Connors never found that out, though.

Oh John. Poor John starts seeing the therapist. Its clear he thinks he needs help, despite what Sarah would have you believe. As the episode moves forward, we start to get short flashbacks to the season premier when Sarkissian has John and Sarah tied up. Its been a matter of some debate whether John killed Sarkissian, or Sarah did. Even Derek himself is under the false impression that Sarah killed Sarkissian, and that John seeing it happen is what’s got him a little messed up. In this episode, Doctor Sherman repeatedly compares John to War Veterans he’s treated in the past. We get full confirmation at the end of this episode that John did, in fact, kill Sarkissian, and with his bare hands no less. John’s a little screwed up right now. He needs help. He needs to talk to somebody. Once again Thomas Dekker gives a brilliant performance. He’s got more talent at his young age than most veteran actors in Hollywood have.

This episode was just top-notch as always. My only complaint is there isn’t enough Ellison. Everything else is great. The Derek stuff is interesting. Gave him even more humanity. Cameron gets to turn another Terminator into a pretzel. That whole fight scene was hilarious. And the Sarah stuff was touching as always. She’s having as hard a time with John’s state of mind as he is. The return of the Sarah Monologue at the close of the episode was long overdue. I hope its back for good.

The A-Train’s Rating for “The Tower is Tall but the Fall is Short”: 4 out of 5 Pretzelminators!

Since my Rover 200 pretty much died at the end of last week, I’ve had to find other ways to getting to work. I live about 40-45mins from work, 25.8 miles according to Google Maps, and there is no bus route (unless I could live with changing buses 4 times) no chance of catching the train (as I’d need to drive to the station) and I don’t fancy cycling over 50 miles a day! Plus car sharing with co-workers is out of the question as no one else is as silly as us to live out in the sticks.

So my only strategy is to use other peoples cars! 1) My mum’s Corsa (as she can be quite flexible getting to and from work. 2) My sister’s Fiesta (as she is currently in between jobs so no need for a car, plus she can’t really afford to run it). 3) My girlfriend’s 206 (though means having to detour to Oxford to drop her off at the Park & Ride).  Due to these pool of automobiles at my disposal, I thought it’d be a ideal opportunity start a car review between these three as I search for a predecessor for my 200.

My car was showing signs of another gasket failure, white smoke coming from the engine, loss of power, water disappearing etc etc and as the radiator was very old and knackered we replaced that in a vain attempt to put off what we knew - gasket issues. As this cost me hell of a lot a couple of years ago, and as it needs new wheels in the near future as my alloys are corroding I thought enough money has been spent on this old steed, time to put it out of its misery.

I’m looking to replace my car with something with a little more punch, as my insurance should be a little more friendly compared to when I purchased it a few years back. Because of this and the engines of the cars I’ll be driving, the review may concentrate on a superficial focus rather than on performance or mileage.

Expect all reviews within the next 7 days (hopefully).

A diario, todos los seres humanos nos vemos en el espejo más de alguna vez. Vemos la piel, los ojos, el cabello entre otras cosas, pero no nos damos cuenta de que abajo de todo esto, se encuentra una compleja estructura que es la que sostiene todo nuestro cuerpo. Así es, son los huesos.

El cuerpo de un humano adulto tiene aproximadamente 206 huesos, sin contar alguno que otro por ahí (como las piezas dentarias). Otro dato interesante es que el esqueleto aporta el 12% del peso total de una persona!

Ahora ya lo sabemos, así que la próxima vez que vayamos a una balanza estaremos cocientes de cuan pesado es nuestro esqueleto.

¿Te imaginas cuantos huesos tendrá un elefante? Y mejor no hablemos de cuanto pesará cada uno de ellos…

No les voy a platicar aspectos técnicos del nuevo Peugeot 207 Compact, ni siquiera los he checado. Para eso mejor preguntenle a mi amigo Haro, él trabaja en Peugeot.

La razón de este post es la publicidad para México de este automovil que viene a reemplazar al Peugeot 206. La publicidad para México viene acompañanda de la canción 1, 2, 3, Go de Belanova y pues ya saben que soy fan.

Con el slogan: Tu corazón va a latir es que se lanza la publicidad de este nuevo vehículo.

Les dernières photos que j’ai prises, lors de mon escapade, furent plutôt intéressantes, surtout lorsque je parviens à rouler sur un chantier presque terminé.  Et c’est arrivé (eh oui, encore!) sur la route 175, quelque part entre le secteur Laterrière, de la ville de Saguenay, et l’intersection de la route 169, dans la Réserve faunique des Laurentides.  Les photos furent prises vers le sud, sauf avis contraire.

Aux environs du kilomètre 227, à l’entrée nord de la réserve faunique.

Près du kilomètre 219, où une bretelle qui permet de passer de deux chaussées à une seule (que l’on appellera désormais un “deux-dans-un”) existe toujours.

Le deux-dans-un du kilomètre 213 est encore plus frais, mais désormais inutilisé.  La photo fut prise en regardant vers le nord.

Au kilomètre 209, toutefois, il faudra vraiment passer de deux chaussées à une seule.  À moins que…

…eh ben ouais, nous en avons la preuve, maintenant; Richard3 a développé une dépendance à l’asphalte nouvellement appliquée!  Ici, on s’affaire à quelques travaux de finition, entre les deux chaussées.  Nous sommes aux environs du kilomètre 206.

Environ un kilomètre plus loin, ce sont des installateurs de signalisation, qui sont en plein travail.

La base d’opérations de l’un des entrepreneurs de ce méga-chantier, à la hauteur du chemin d’accès au Camp Cyriac.

Nous sommes entre les kilomètres 201 et 200, sur la nouvelle chaussée, et l’on voit très bien l’ancienne, à gauche, où l’on circulait encore dans les deux directions, lors de mon passage.

Un peu au sud du pont de la rivière Gilbert, des travailleurs complètent ce qui semble être un autre deux-dans-un, qui servira lors de l’ouverture de ce nouveau tronçon, qui ne saurait tarder, à voir l’avancement des travaux.

Voilà une raison de plus d’avoir procédé à l’achat d’un nouvel appareil-photo.  Celle-ci fut prise avec le zoom au maximum, c’est à dire en 4,0x, mais comme il s’agit d’un zoom numérique, et non optique, ça donne des résultats merdiques, comme on peut le voir ici.  Ce sont les mêmes travaux que sur la pose précédente, mais vus vers le nord, cette fois.  Et la voiture blanche, stationnée en travers, c’est une auto-patrouille de la SQ.

Au kilomètre 190, l’emprise de la nouvelle chaussée est déboisée,…

…alors qu’un kilomètre plus loin, le dynamitage, et le terrassement, sont déjà entamés.

Près du kilomètre 188, j’ai pris le temps de m’arrêter, puis de descendre de la blogue-mobile, afin de prendre cette photo vers le sud,…

…ainsi que celle-ci, vers le nord, où l’on voit le secteur déboisé, mais pas encore dynamité.

Ici, au kilomètre 184, on gruge littéralement la montagne.  Les énormes camions transportent la pierre, fraîchement dynamitée, vers un site de concassage, afin de continuer le terrassement de la nouvelle chaussée.

Ici, la nouvelle chaussée n’est plus à droite, mais plutôt à gauche.  Nous sommes au kilomètre 182,5.

Voici un beau pont tout neuf, qui traverse une rivière, probablement la petite rivière Pikauba.  C’est au kilomètre 178.

Cette fois encore, le soleil me rattrape.  On le voit plus difficilement, à cause de l’ombre, mais il y a une ouverture dans la forêt, près du kilomètre 172.  Comme je regarde vers le sud, cela indique que la nouvelle chaussée est de retour à droite.

Et voici l’intersection des routes 175 et 169.  Je présume qu’il sera modifié, compte tenu de la construction de la nouvelle chaussée.

Évidemment, j’ai dû me dépêcher, pour prendre les photos, parce que le soleil me rattrapait, et que l’ombre de cette fin de journée faisait que les images ne sortaient pas bien.  Par contre, je devrai retourner dans la réserve, avant les premières neiges, afin de prendre certains détails de ce secteur, ainsi que tout le secteur au sud de l’Étape, où d’autres travaux, reliés à ce même méga-chantier, sont présentement en cours.

Un autre problème qui survient, lorsque l’on veut prendre des photos de chantiers de construction sur une route ouverte à la circulation, c’est que l’on ne peut pas toujours prendre les sites les plus spectaculaires, puisqu’il est impossible de s’y arrêter sans nuire à la circulation, déjà perturbée par les travaux eux-mêmes.  Par contre, les images que vous voyez ici vous donnent quand même une idée de grandeur de ce chantier, auquel participe aussi le gouvernement fédéral.

Ceci fait le tour des photos que j’ai prises lors de mon escapade de vacances.  J’espère que celles-ci vous ont plu.  Dans les jours qui viennent, vous pourrez voir d’autres images prises pendant mes vacances, mais lors d’une autre sortie de la blogue-mobile.  J’espère aussi, prochainement, pouvoir mettre à l’épreuve mon tout nouvel appareil-photo, qui me permettra de prendre de bien meilleures photos à distance.

I’m a guy and I live in Seattle. Some of you are too. Some of you just know guys who live in Seattle. So here’s the deal, I understand how hard it can be, and I want to help you out.

Damn...I look good as a black guy with no face!

Why? Because I got called “metro” the other day. It was apparently a compliment too. “Kevin you look really metro. You look good.” was the consensus of two women I work with. I’m just going to go ahead and say this to get it out of the way and give my ego a shot right now…I was wearing a sweater vest. Yeah, With argyle pinstripes. Before you judge me too quickly, there are two things you should know about this vest:

a.) the only reason I own it is because it was part of my Halloween costume, Harry Potter, the most bad ass wizard you know.

b.) the only reason I was wearing it is because I overslept my alarm and didn’t have time to iron a shirt.

But this got me thinking. I have no clue about the style of what I’m wearing…ever. 

A few weeks back, some friends and I went to The Last Supper Club, and a girl (who will no doubt read this) told me that the plain blue polo shirt I was wearing was “the worst decision of my life” before walking away. I had no clue such a non-decision could ruin my life, but apparently it did. In my defense, she was wearing a leopard print tube top…that has nothing to do with this here, but I was offended by her polo comment, so GO TO HELL PAULA. But I digress…

I’d dismissed this incident as purely an example of her own bad taste, but then I was called metro yesterday. So I started studying. You know  what I learned? Long gone are the days of looking trendy in this city by wearing a tweed jacket, scarf and reading glasses. That apparently hasn’t been cool since the 90s. As someone who believes in staying traditional at work, I’m leaving that one alone, but I’ve come up with some basic rules for dressing when you go out on the town in Seattle, and I call this “The D-Bag Dress Code” and I want to apologize in advance, because I know plenty of you adhere to it. Here are the basic necessities for your wardrobe:

"Chicks love it when I wear my dragon pants, because it lets them know that I'm REALLY REALLY badass...like a dragon," said one douche about his favorite pair of pants.

1. Something with a dragon stitched onto it: This is important. It has to be a dragon. If there are skulls with it, you get bonus points, but just having skulls isn’t cool. Dragons are cool. Dragons are considered to be “badass” so you have them stitched on your $300 pair of jeans, and then you’re like, three times more badass than the guy next to you…except for when he has a dragon on his jeans too. See, the dragon used to be nerdy. You know, because nerds love dragons. But apparently so do douche bags in the club. So it’s cool as long as it’s an Asian looking dragon (don’t pretend like you don’t know the difference). You can get a dragon on your shirt, but that’s just half-assing it, because a real man has a dragon on his pants. It can’t be airbrushed, that’s just lame. Bonus Points: If you wear the dragon pants on a date, you’re super cool.

2. A bandana as a wrist band: This can be replaced with one of those watches that has the extra-wide leather so it looks like a wrist band, but you’re better off going with both (on opposite wrists idiot, don’t be a show off). The bandana has to match what you’re wearing. This is a good look because a bandana shows that you’re not afraid of the gangs. You’re a badass, and badasses don’t care about gangs…mostly because gangs don’t care about the colors that douche bags are wearing. WARNING: You can’t wear a regular Fred Meyer bandana. What are you, poor? You’ve got to wear the Gucci or Prada equivalent…come on, you’re a badass, not a charity case.

V-Necks: Apparently V-Neck shirts are okay to wear again. I thought it was a gay look wasn’t it? Which is cool if you’re gay…but now I guess they’re badass too. You can go two ways with your V-Neck: plain white (in which case, you’d better have your dragon jeans and wrist band, otherwise you look poor. And that’s the last thing to do. How are you supposed to bag the slut in the leopard print if you don’t look rich? The other way you can go is with a V-Neck that’s covered in tattoo looking art. You know what I mean, Old English lettering and lots of tribal looking designs. Oh, and a dragon with skulls. Eagles are okay too…but only if it’s fighting a dragon. And it has to be winning. A dragon beating an eagle is lame (because everyone expects it).

4. No one wears Abercrombie anymore: Seriously my best friend is an Abercrombie and Fitch manager. He even hides the stuff he’s supposed to wear to work in a box under his bed…like drugs. And he’s black so you KNOW he has style.

"You can't even see the dragons from the front on half of my pants," said a D-bag. "This lets you know right away that I'm a badass!"

6. The shoes: The days of the ice-whites are over. You can’t wear tennis shoes out! Come on! You’re WAY too cool for Nike! Wear the leather dress shoes with your V-Neck t-shirt. The leather dress shoes say “I don’t plan on running away from ANYTHING TONIGHT” but more importantly, they’re a way to stand out (I mean, other than every other guy there) because it says “I don’t have to match my style. I spent $500 on these shoes, and I don’t even have a job. Dad does.” Girls don’t care if you have a job as long as dad does. Jobs just take away from the time you can spend getting mani’s and pedi’s with them. Which leads me to my next point:

8. Jewelry: You need dog tags. Dog tags say “I’m not in the army, but I think I’m cool enough to wear something they have for safety as a fashion statement…Look, mine says Live Free Or Die on it…that’s so badass!” Dog tags go great with V-Neck shirts. Especially if you tuck the V-Neck into an overly-elaborate belt (but only the front of the shirt, don’t be stupid and tuck the whole thing in, then it looks like you’re PURPOSELY showing off the dragon on your ass). You need like, three prongs and eighty two riveted holes that don’t even line up. Also, don’t actually buckle it. You want it hanging out there so people notice it better. Oh, and also that makes it looks like a penis, and that’s always good.

I hope this helps you. It definitely helped me. To see visual examples, look at any photo gallery for any club in Seattle. I’ll be at Nordstrom looking for a bandana to tie around my wrist (how do you tie that with one hand? I guess I’d better learn).

Here you can find a typical scene in the PN-Dub...people hating on Wal-Mart...excuse me, I mean ACTIVISTS hating on Wal-Mart.

You know, I’d almost lost my PN-Dubness. It took two years and I’ve finally picked it up again.
I spent six years away and it almost made me another person, but it’s okay…I’m back. 
For those of you not from the PN-Dub, you should probably know that “PN-Dub” is what the cool kids call the Pacific Northwest. If you are from the PN-Dub and you didn’t know that, then you are so unPN-Dub it’s not even funny. But that’s just my opinion (which is, of course, a fact).

See, there are certain things that make a person PN-Dub, which is of course a phrase coined by someone from the PN-Dub about other people from the PN-Dub.

That brings me to the first point:

1. People from the PN-Dub are big fans of making fun of the things that are PN-Dub…then they do/buy/go to those things that they verbally despise. You see, part of being PN-Dub means you are disgusted with everything that’s “wrong” with the PN-Dub (I’ll point out some of those things later). You aren’t allowed to be satisfied with anything…That’s not PN-Dub. People in the PN-Dub are always taking a stand against something. This is called being an “activist”, which is really just a PN-Dubber’s word for “Hater”.

2. PN-Dubbers (pronounced “pee-en-du-burrs”: prop. noun: a person from the PN-Dub…recognize!) spend an equal amount of time complaining about the rain, snow, and heat. If you live in the PN-Dub, you’re not allowed to be content with the weather.
Example: October: “I’m so sick of this fall rain, even though I live in Seattle…a city known mostly for the suicide rates caused by the constant rain…I can’t wait for the snow.” January: “Man, we’ve had snow for a week now. I can’t wait for Summer. I love summers in the Northwest.” August: “This is ridiculous! It’s so hot! A month of 70-80 degree weather? Who would want to live like this?!?!?”

3. In the PN-Dub, you have to eat lots of organic stuff. You know, the stuff they sell at Whole Foods and PCC. Sure, it costs a lot more, and the fact that you’re only going to eat half of it and throw it out because organic stuff tastes like ass doesn’t make a lot of sense, but that’s how we roll in the PN-Dub. You’re also required to speak ill of anyone who gets caught eating at McDonalds. McDonalds is SOO not PN-Dub. Which is a perfect segue into my next point:

4. If you’re living in the PN-Dub, it’s your responsibility to hate anything that has to do with the following things: Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Exxon, Google (until now, because they just moved their corporate headquarters to Seattle, namely Freemont, which is VERY PN-Dub), any American car company and other large corporations that are sucking regular people dry and murdering trees and animals and stuff. You are, however, allowed to enjoy the products of corporate giants that make you feel good. Namely; Apple, Nordstrom/Macy’s/American Eagle, Eddie Bauer and of course, Chipotle. Chipotle is okay because it’s all-natural and not a corporate food giant (actually…Chipotle is owned by McDonalds…but we don’t talk about that in the PN-Dub. Know your role).

5. You are required to own a set of bongos and after you get off of work and hang up your suit and tie, sit around a drum circle with other PN-Dubbers and smoke out of a hookah. I don’t make the rules. 

6. You don’t fish, think hunting is disgusting, but you camp and hike all the time. You love hiking. You love filling your fanny pack with trail mix, a bottle of Evian and a trail map of the North Cascades and heading out, sometimes by yourself, to a place in the middle of the woods where you can sit in peace and reflect on how simple life can be when you remove yourself from all the hassles of the modern world…Then you pull out your iPhone to text a friend about how beautiful it is and take a picture, not of the waterfall, but of yourself at the waterfall…this is for your facebook page (facebook is elitist for college students/alumni, which is PN-Dub… myspace lets everyone in and screw that). 

7. You like to wear a $150 French-cuffed shirt when you go out, but you don’t like to iron it first, that would look like you’re trying…oh, you also have 3-gallons of some French-named shit in your hair to help give you that “I don’t care how I look” look. 

8. You’re debating between Barack and Hillary because you don’t know if you’d be more progressive voting for a black guy or a chick.

9. You got offended that I just called her a chick. Right on Doris Day…Right on.

10. If any those all made sense to you, or if you eat plain frozen yogurt with nuts and berries on it, you’re so PN-Dub. If you don’t know what plain frozen yogurt is…you need to get fresh for the PN-Dub.

Editor’s Note: We asked Kevin why he didn’t include something about coffee. We figured, the Northwest is known for it’s coffee right? How could he miss that? Kevin replied with the following, “Coffee is about as PN-Dub as punk rock. It’s too trendy to be PN-Dub anymore. I haven’t drank coffee since the 90s. We’re only into things that are cutting edge and new. I bet you still wear flannel shirts too. My grandma drinks coffee. We drink those nutrient packs that they have on the space ships now. You guys are really, really unPN-Dub. Go back to California.” …Sorry Kevin, We stand corrected…wait, isn’t he from Cali?

Peugeot anuncia que ya está a la venta el único modelo del 206 que se podrá conseguir en el mercado. Denominado “Generation” y destinado a jugar como el modelo de entrada a la marca, seguirá manteniendo la principal cualidad destacada por la marca: su ”deseabilidad”.
Disponible en una única versión cinco puertas con motor 1.4 litros naftero, saldrá a la venta en $43.000 (IVA incluido).
A continuación más info.

Peugeot anunció que ya está disponible para su comercialización el modelo 206 Génération. Será ofrecido en una única versión 5 puertas, con motor 1.4 litros naftero de 75 CV, caja manual de 5 velocidades, dirección asistida y aire acondicionado. Su precio público ha sido fijado en $ 43.000 (IVA incluido).

El 206 Génération conlleva todo el bagaje de imagen y deseabilidad que supo construir durante su larga y exitosa vida comercial el 206, que lo han posicionado como el modelo con mayor imagen del segmento de autos chicos.

Peugeot dispondrá, a partir de ahora, de un vehículo con el que competirá en el sub-segmento B2 Popular, en el que nunca antes había estado presente. El 206 Génération se inserta dentro de la estrategia global de la automotriz, constituyendo, junto al recientemente lanzado 207 Compact y las exclusivas siluetas deportivas 207 RC y 207 Coupé Cabriolet, la triple oferta de Peugeot en el segmento de los autos pequeños.

A los equipamientos de confort ya mencionados, el 206 Génération agrega: volante de tres brazos regulable en altura; preinstalación de radio (antena y cableado); banqueta trasera rebatible; faro antiniebla trasero; entre otros.
El 206 Génération se encuentra disponible en Gris Aluminium, Gris Fer y Rojo Aden.

Pensando en sus clientes, Peugeot creó especialmente para este nuevo modelo distintos packs de accesorios, que enriquecen y adaptan al 206 Génération, según el gusto y las necesidades de los usuarios. Ellos son: pack eléctrico (alarma, levanta vidrios delanteros, cierre centalizado), pack imagen (alerón trasero, protector bajo umbral, salida de escape cromada, palanca y pedalera deportiva de aluminio), pack MP3 (stereo Sony CDX GT 217, parlantes delanteros) y pack MP3+Bluetooth (stereo hamburg MP57, parlantes delanteros y traseros).

Im ganz frischen Newsletter von Aerosoft ist nun auch die Cessna U206G Stationair 6 II (FSX) von Carenado zu finden. Aerosoft bietet diese wunderbare Maschine für 24,95 Euro zum Download an (inkl. den gesamten Features, die sowieso schon jeder kennt).

Die Stationair ist für mich persönlich DER virtuelle Flieger in der Einmot-Klasse schlechthin. Einfach zu bedienen, gutmütig und doch kann man - und das sollte jeder virtuelle Backcountry-Pilot mal machen - nach IFR-Regeln fliegen. Das Ding macht einfach Freude… dazu noch ein neues Soundpaket (stellte ich das eigentlich mal vor?), ein nettes Repaint und man lässt (fast) alles andere hinter sich zurück. (Das gilt natürlich nicht für Aircraft-Hopper, die zwanghaft jeden Tag ein anderes virtuelles Flugzeug bewegen müssen )

Ich meine gelesen zu haben, dass es dieses wunderbare Flugzeug bei SimMarket für 20 Euronen 99 Cent gibt… ich kann mich natürlich auch täuschen.

Enjoy!
