Get yours at http://www.fsd-international.comBring on the FS2004 add-ons all you payware companies, I'm ready to buy!!Chris

Just purchased it! I made a very quick flight without even looking at the manual. It handles very well. Very nice plane all around (in my very brief experience)Looks like another terrific plane by FSD!!! My only problem is what excuse to give the boss when I call in sick tomorrow... :)

I am there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-outta

Yeah, it's real nice. I didn't read the manual or anything either, so I was wingin' it ;-)I really like their planes!Chris

well time to dig out the credit card again :)... Iv been waiting for this one for a while

Does it come with any performance charts?

>Does it come with any performance charts?I am just starting to look at the documentation now, but I didn't see any performance charts. There is a detailed checklist as well as a thorough description of procedures including engine management.

what are the 'special features' as per their web site link? It states that the page will be filled out as the near completion?isnt the plane complete?

Oops. HTML meltdown I'm afraid. I got a whole list of web things to fix this morning.The special features are the Load Manager and the persistent damage/maintenance/cost analysis system.:-wavehttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/TD_forum_sig.gif

I was wondering how the frame rates are? Does it fly smoothly? With the GPS right in the 2d and virtual cockpit I was a little worried about performance. However I'm running Capt.Sim's 727 and it has been doing fine. Anyway I would like to get your performance perceptions before I buy. I looks like a really good aircraft.Capt.Mac

It is going to be a beautiful weekend!

I welcome the persistent damage modeling and I love how they include a financial aspect into FS2004. I'm just wondering how you are going to "pay" for your engine servicing and your fuel. Is there some way to make money with flights? I haven't found an answer to this on their website or in their screenshots.

>Just purchased it! I made a very quick flight without even>looking at the manual. Oh!!-- then you mean that it is not worth buying. There are many freeware a/c that you can do that in -- if I am going to pay for an a/c , then it must have at least some sophistication.Barry

For the Cheyenne I was working on a spreadsheet where I took the maintenance costs and factored in fuel prices and ticket revenue.

"I'm just wondering how you are going to "pay" for your engine servicing and your fuel. Is there some way to make money with flights?"We are tabulating virtual costs for a virtual aircraft. You pay for it with virtual money. ;-)http://www.fsd-international.com/team/TD_forum_sig.gif
