With the new mission generator in FSX, down the road, this could provide a very usefull way for PMDG to add more value to its products. Detailed training scenarios and challenges could be created for specific planes. High fidelity mission packs could even be sold seperately for each plane. You guys may have already thought of this, but I thoguth I would trhow it out there just in case.Andrew

SoundsJust loaded a flight and it was cold and dark - heavy rain was falling. I had a beautiful visual image of the rain on the windscreen but no sound! Perhaps the MD-11 or 747 sound update can include the sound of rain in the cockpit?

Strange, When rain falls I can sit in my cosy cold and dark cockpit and just enjoy the sound of raindrops falling outside knowing I won't have to get wet. Never had any problems with the sound whatsoever. Seems to differ a lot between users and different setups?
