February 6, 200818 yr More Cabin Class News.After listening to comments and suggestions, we've tweaked the upcoming Cabin Class rule in these two ways.First, the Cabin Class Handicap is now 20 minutes (rather than 15 minutes) per leg. Note that this makes the faster Cabin Class aircraft roughly competitive with the P-38L and P-51D, but not the Hornet or P-47M, over a 500nm leg. Still in place is the limit of 12 legs to which such handicap credits may be applied.Second, in response to pilots' suggestions we have added two aircraft to the qualified list. (a) Rockwell Turbo Commander 690A by Veneaviones. Available many places, including AVSIM:http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Search...=root&Go=Search(:( Douglas A-26 Invader by the SOH Collaborative Team. (Preferably the On Mark Marksman executive version. But any SOH A-26 will qualify.) Available at Sim-Outhouse (Look for John Terrell, that is Bomber_12th. There are many possible updates, but the basic model works well):Manual Installation:http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc...nfo&FileID=8600Automatic Installer:http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc...nfo&FileID=8599The "On Mark Marksman" executive version (requires the A-26 Invader installed first) at AVSIM:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...hor=&CatID=rootor SOH here:http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc...nfo&FileID=8784Both aircraft are widely acclaimed. Both are freeware.Best,Mike, Matt, Reggie, and Ian --Mike MacKuen
February 9, 200818 yr Author Two more things.First, on a pilot's request the Executive Committee has cleared the PMDG B1900C for the "Cabin Class" category. This was not a clear-cut decision as the B1900C is more of a "commuter" airliner than an executive aircraft. However, there are some corporate "King Air ExecLiner" aircraft out there --Mike MacKuen
