August 3, 201015 yr scoob,The blade company stretches the truth just as MS did when they printed the hardware requirements for FSX!!So the supermodels==the hardware requirements==both dreams at the time.
August 3, 201015 yr be an informed customer.Experience has taught me that lesson. The CRJ was one of the first aircraft I bought when I first got FS9. Now, whenever I see a developer brag about their low frame rates and highly realistic flight dynamics and systems modelling I know that such claims should be taken with a large dose of salt.I just don't expect 99.9% accurate simulations of multi million dollar aircraft to be sold for $50 and to run on a home PC.

The better ones are more expensive, though (PMDG 747/MD-11), but stuff like the LDS767 and VRS Superbug are about that price, run ona home PC and get you quite close to the operation of the real thing. Well, in my opinion, anyway...

August 3, 201015 yr I just went to http://www.wilcopub.com/ to check claims, but Norton reports it as an unsafe site with 14 identified computer threats. These are said to be "drive-by downloads" which "... is computer code that takes advantage of a software bug in a Web browser to make it do something that the attacker wants Gerry Howard

August 3, 201015 yr Loads fine for me... using Google chrome or Firefox 3it loads OK for me using IE8 but Norton (Web safe Lite?) gives me the warnings - identifying specific lines from the site such as:Threat Name: MSIE ADODB.Stream Object File Installation Weakness Location: http://www.wilcopub.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=extra_airbus2 Threat Name: HTTP C6 Messenger ActiveX File Overwrite Location: https://www.wilcopub.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=shipping_table It's the only site that does, so far.

August 4, 201015 yr feelThere, you know that we love your systematic aircraft and stuff, but if you do realize that the gulf between FSX and FS2004's limitations are that wide, why bother use portovers? Why not a completely pure and native FSX model? "It goes without saying that when survival is threatened, struggles erupt between peoples, and unfortunate wars between nations result." -HIDEKI TOJO
August 4, 201015 yr With V2 will we be able to read what is written over the autopilot buttons? I found it a bit annoying on version 1. I couldn't see what was written. That's one of the reasons why i don't fly it anymore. Regards.Real Deraps (Lmaire) Real Deraps
August 5, 201015 yr With V2 will we be able to read what is written over the autopilot buttons?v2 includes a popup GP that is 3X larger.-- D. Scobie, feelThere support forum moderator: https://forum.simflight.com/forum/169-feelthere-support-forums/
August 5, 201015 yr I only have one request, proper virtual cockpit day and night lighting!! I still can't figure out why some developers just flat out refuse to do this.

August 7, 201015 yr Wauw. Loads of ranting and upset people 'boycottin' and stuff...'What else can I say?We always fix everything, WITHIN our power, mostly RIGHT away meaning we can't fix things that are model bound OR 'fix' things that you think should be different. To those of you with problems, I have not seen you asking for help even once. We have a forum, we have a community page, you can pm all our TA's including me directly, you can tweet, facebook, hell even my SKYPE AND my email address are on my profile page.You exercise your right to speak volumes, yet you don't exercise your right to contact me via one of the above mentioned means but choose to complain, rant and boycot? That doesn't sound right to me.Act like a grown up, and ask me nicely and I'll fix.Also the FeelThere and previously Wilco/FeelThere models have probably the fewest 3rd party freeware quality painters when compared to the other devs. Until not to long ago, people still put out requests for certain liveries for certain models, without success. We 'gave' you (at the time) ALL (76!) liveries for the E-Jet, even the ones that were not delivered yet at the time (think KLM, Lufti Cityline etc), for a mere 8 bucks, little over 10 cents a pop, giving you -in my opinion- the best bang for your buck (http://www.avsim.com/pages/0808/Wilco/EJets.htm), since there are groups out there there that charge between 15 and 40 bucks PER livery.I will await your email, but know : support is done through OUR channels, and not AVSIM or any other place you expect me to visit daily merely to spot things like this.

Thanks,
August 8, 201015 yr Moderator Hi, I made a post on your support forum and was quickly told I had to include my real name in the signature of my avatar etc. I am not a paid customer i was looking for pre sales advice.Can you explain why users are forced to broadcast private inormation in this manner just to be able to post on a semi open forum, where sensitive data and data protection should be paramount?Is this odd rule carried foward when a purchase is made? Thanks, I have no affiliation with Feeltyhere or Wilco but, IMHO, you are being paranoid. Asking for your real name is NOT unusual. Now if they asked for a SS# or somethaing that IS sensitive, that's different.You will find that many, if not most, support forums require a real name.Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
