Dan, we were swamped back then and I do not remember your request but do apologise if we offended you in some way. It's quite possible that we missed the boat at that point in time.The fact that we were full up should not be taken as an offence.If you really think about it I'm sure you'll agreee that not only Eaglesoft, but every other sim developer builds for the entertainment market. Having said that, there is certainly no excuse for poor workmanship, wrong features, or poor support.The CII/SP has undergone quite a few upgrades since that time frame and is a more mature product with richer features than before. Again, no excuses.Please feel free to contact me personally, bring me up to speed on your background, and we'll try to find you a spot that fits your RW experience.:-)

Thanks for your response, it's really appreciated. Don't worry too much, I wasn't offended, just desappointed that I could not contribute to the community.You are right, your CII is an excellent product and like I mentionned I was very impressed by the flight model.Thanks for the offer, I'll contact you later this week, I have a lot on my plate for the next few days.Dan

The text in the 2D panel is hard to read - even on my 22" widescreen monitor running at 1650x1080 - the VC is actually easier to read which is odd. Every screen has pop ups though.

Three reasons, first, because sometimes the conditions warrant the use of one (I fly with real weather and often in limited visibility).Number two is that an add-on's ability to simulate an autoland often gauges how well the systems are simulated. I find those planes that cannot perform an autoland properly (if it is simulated to begin with) to be lacking in other handling characteristics as well.And last, but not least...you may never need the services of an airbag in your car, but you bloody well hope that it works ;)

I also always use real world weather, I do agree on number 2 - number 1 yes in the real world in CAT3 conditions that is the only option, though I find you can usually pull it off in FS if you fly the approach well, and number 3 again ya it should work - but still, it's more enjoyable and more satisfying if you fly the approach yourself isn't it?>Three reasons, first, because sometimes the conditions>warrant the use of one (I fly with real weather and often in>limited visibility).>>Number two is that an add-on's ability to simulate an autoland>often gauges how well the systems are simulated.

I just got it today, and I must say that even tough it's no LDS/PMDG (which in my opinion are overated anyway, but thats another topic) I'm really having fun with it! the immersion factor is there, system moddeling seems fine, easy to use (which I'd expect from a regional/small mainline jet), FDE seems fine, can't compare it with a real EMB though obviously, and is really fun to fly, engine sounds are ok and the VC/Virtual Cabin combo is verry nice, with the nice lass as a nice bonus ;)haven't tested Autoland and VNAV though, and I probably never will either, handflying an aproach is much more fun to me :-wedgeI have to say it's a good buy if you like this kind of plane, and it's one of the verry few modern airliners I'd like to fly :-beerchug-Sander

The kind of plane that seems to interest you should be about 20 bucks not the price wilco is charging. I am going to see if the bugs ever get fixed in this one. That might take at least a year. This company doesn't seem to interested in fixing bugs properly.

point taken, but then again in my opinion most FS payware aircraft are overpriced. for me it was worth it, as I haven't enjoyed a new FS aircraft in a long time.<

Sorry Sander. I just assumed if you weren't interested in VNAV, etc that you might not care for the "in depth" planes. No offense bud.

I'm thinking of buying this package but I am very carefull when it comes to Feelthere and Wilco: bugs, incomplete, obvious model errors, etc. I might be too picky but they lack the professionalism of others. A simple exemple is the Legacy, an excellent panel but they used the same flap settings as the ERJ, they didn't bother to modify them to reflect the real Legacy.I'd like to know if the 2D panel is widescreen, from Wilco's previews it looks like it but I'd like to confirm.The other thing is can we save a flight enroute, saving the panel state like many products can: LDS767, PMDG744, etc.Finally can the displays be dimmed at night?Thanks,Dan

Yes I mentioned the fact before that all feelthere seems to do is tranfer previous work to their present work. EG: the 145 to the legacy and your statement is another indicator that they do this and we still get charged full price for a project that is simply an upgraded previous product. My eample of this is I find it funny how they seem to stick to a product that uses the same avionics, ERJ, Legacy, Citation X and to some degree even the 175,195. Easy to do when a lot of the work is already complete from a previous product. We should be getting charges an upgrade price rather than full price.

If it doesn't interest you, then why are you complaining about it? Personally, I think they did a great job on this one (albeit with a few minor niggles..) but if you watch the WAR Cirrus E170 DVD, you'll see that they have simulated nearly every system... and that if it is properly flown, they all work well.

I agree - it is a very good product. There are no show stopper bugs, only minor issues. They look great and fly very nicely. (FDE by Rob Young).I am happy with my purchase!:-)

So if I pull the fire handle the engine will shut down?
