Sorry for any confusion, if you watch the video I do polish rhodochrosite (not rhodonite, that's a different mineral) the labradorite was just to show that was the first one I tried hand polishing. Rhodonite has a similar hardness to labradorite so i think it should polish well using the same method.

stuck a bit with this myself, i downloaded the manual for it but very little on this section.

Hi, what version are you using? when I made this video was a very early release, I have actually forgotten how I did the ILS approach, i think i used my radio panel which is an external hardware. there have been quite a few updates since then, I have only just uploaded the latest build so have not yet flown it. Do you have Discord, if so I highly recommend joining the Delta simulations server as you can download the latest builds from there, well you can get a link from there, also lots of people including the development team to give advice.

Hi thanks for your comment. From what I can tell the rainbow effect in your quartz looks to be caused by light being refracted/reflected from internal fractures. In Iris quartz it's still light being refracted/reflected but the cause is is different, if you are interested here is a good article which explains it far better than I can. www.gia.edu/gems-gemology/spring-2017-iridescence-natural-quartz

@@AstrogeoJay hi there! Thank you very much for the response. I'm familiar with how internal crystal fractures look and this is definitely not caused by fractures. It looks like the surface of the crystals are coated in something that is causing the rainbow effect. It looks similar to aura quartz.

Been a while since you asked, but to answer anyone else wondering the same: There are currently NO plans for it coming to the Marketplace, which would be required for it to be released on Xbox.

Glad you enjoyed it, some cities are more accurately depicted and the ones that have photogrammetry are outdated because the sim uses Bing maps which don't seem to be updated to often. I was trying to keep a certain degree of realism that's why I did not do any aerobatics over the city but I might just do a little sight seeing tour, either in a helicopter which is the perfect thing for sight seeing, or my Optica which is a strange looking British aircraft especially designed to fly slow and has great all round visibility, its like you are sitting in a glass bubble! will be interesting to see if there are any landmarks that are recognisable. It's actually the first time I have flown in Nova Scotia.

@@AstrogeoJay That explains a lot (Bing, I mean)...the most useless thing on earth (or off, for that matter)...Bing maps, Bing translate, Bing search....they all suck dead donkey balls! I'm guessing the flight sim is microsoft....gods forbid they should make use of Google. First thing I do when I get a new computer (and I just got a new laptop a couple of months back) is change everything from microsoft over to google! Love Google search, maps, translate (not always 100% but definitely a million times better than bing), and of course Chrome as my browser. I even get rid of whatever office-type software is installed, or at least hide the icons so I don't have to look at them LOL And then I install open-office.... If you decide to do another flight over NS, let me know...would love to see it! :)

@@mericanadian101 Yep it is Microsoft, someone has made a thing so it can use Google maps instead of Bing but i have not tried that yet. I will most definitely do another NS flight, probably in a helicopter so can get some closer look at some of the landmarks. I don't think Halifax does have photometry details so anything recognisable won't be 3D it will be flat!

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, I was having a problem with my rudder at first, it was twitchy, i discovered my stick control has a twist ability that can be used for rudder, even though I had it locked it was still creating slight rudder control inputs whenever i was using the elevators and ailerons, so i disabled the rudder control from the stick as i have rudder pedals and that fixed that problem, but I think your problem is something different, its worth checking to see if you have any other controllers with bindings for the flight controllers.

@@AstrogeoJay Hello sir cheers! ITs taken care of one question did you plane follow the flight plan if so can you make a tutorial on this feature how to download and use it. Great plane but plane does not follow the plan. Thanks!!

I believe that is going to be a future project, not sure what C130 version it will be though.

@@AstrogeoJay I think the H model is being worked on atm

@@AstrogeoJay I’ll pay for that!

@@aviation-action Same here but it has to be really good.

@@caribbaviator7058 agreed!

Yeah it was hanging round my neck so was bouncing about quite a bit, might get one of those helmet mounted go pros or something

@@AstrogeoJay Ahh Okay

I can see, well hear why, the An-22 sounds amazing, I have only heard it twice, once when it flew over fairly low on its way into Bournemouth airport (shame it was dark and cloudy then so I never saw it, but the sound, it was incredible! I later got to see it when she visited Manchester.

same like the Tupolev Tu-95
