@ Mark:I'm not against a good new company developing a new add-on which will benefit the FS world. I'm also not saying that they won't keep all their promises. I'll even buy it if it's nearly as good as acclaimed.I just think we should all have a more 'carefull' approach to add-ons not released yet.It's just so unfair to attack feelthere, PMDG, Airsimmer ... saying their Airbus is worse than AirlionerXP's! Why? -Because we really don't know yet what it will be like (unless you are a beta-tester and the beta works already perfect ;-).Maybe over the last years (started with FS98 w/ tons of add-ons) I got more pessimistic about announcements, trailers, screenshots or so - though I really enjoy seeing new screens (remember FSX screens with DirectX10 for example).Best regards,Stefan

Well we know from some posts of people who have the wilco plane report soo so many ridiculous issues, I mean come on taxing with ailerons! I highly doubt that this is all due to early mistake release, I dont think they would have been able to fix all of these problems in just a few days, it took months for them to correct their 737, which still has some problems. See this post:"A320 Wilco V.1 FS9/FSX Legal Warning: it explains many of the shortcomings of this airplane, sounds like a no go for sure as of now, and I know their attitude at feelthere, they will not correct all of these issues, a good n'uff addon is fine for them judging from the 737.I still cant believe one person said "sounds to me like you want a completely 100% realistic multi-million dollar simulator out of a 50 dollar product", my gosh, have we all lost touch with reality?

Many>tried, but there's no competition so far.The competition would be there. There are alternatives to gdi+ available (some of them free, some not), but GDI+ is used mainly, because:* it is free (any windows installation comes with it - no costs for the developers for additional libraries).* it is easy to use.* it has the required features for drawing smoothed lines, shapes and fonts.Downside: Painfully slow. GDI+ builds on a >10 years old, archaic 2d graphics api (Windows gdi in this case) and was, in fact, never designed for game development or anything where performance is a relevant thing.Using it for vector gauges means wasting a lot of performance. Period. There isn't any way around, the only thing a developer can do is to optimize its own code as good as possible - but nothing can be done about the slowness of gdi+ itself.
