Hi Dave,I hope you tell us your impressions of this new bird; I wonder if you could tell me if;1. It has TCAS2. FMC has Holds3. Rain effects on VC glass4. Anything new/interesting?Cheers,Paul(Hope avsim posts one of their reviews for this one.)

I'll get back to you Paul, I'm just skimming over the manuals. One good thing, they include a tutorial flight.Dave FisherCYYZP4 2.8 GB 478P 533 MHZ CPUP4P800S Asus Motherboard512 DDRGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 80 Gig ATA 133 HDhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

Hi,Just finished a little flight, have not gone that indepth into the systems yet, but it certainly has potential.I have some Frame rate issues at present, but the support team are aware of it, it at can be "fixed", by selecting the VC only model (you still get a 2D panel, wierd?).EDIT, its the virtual cabin that is dragging the framerates down, VC only means no virtual cabin, silly me :).The FDE seems nice, very controlable on the ground, no rain effects in the VC, minor problem for me, I am sure they will patch it.I like the panel, VC and exterior model, all are quite nice.There are some dummy switchs on the O'head panel, the extend of these I have not gone into, the hold button on the FMC is a dummy, so I would reckon there is no holds.All in all not bad at all, like I said certainly has a lot of potential, although I would probably hold out into a few "proper" reviews come along.Dan.

Can you put in your own flight plan into the FMC like in the PMDG/DreamFleet/PIC767/PSS FMCs or do you have to load the flight plan into the FMC from the FS flight planner like in the EagleSoft FMC?

Im going to wait 2 or 3 weeks before I buy it to hear some reviews. (Plus I just spent some money on a few airport scenerys)

You can load your own plans into the FMC. Overall it's a pretty nice model. Not everything is functional, but all the major systems are there. The external textures are well done along with all the animation and night lighting. BTW, does anyone know if the 700's have an A/Thottle?Dave FisherCYYZP4 2.8 GB 478P 533 MHZ CPUP4P800S Asus Motherboard512 DDRGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 80 Gig ATA 133 HDhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I just noticed on Wilco's site that they lowered the price to $29.95

at $29.95 I'm gonna buy it now. They also announced the price for the new models next mth and it's not a gouge at all. They listened, and I'm responding. :-)billg

How is the FMS/autopilot and the flight model? Is this a custom autopilot ala PMDG or PIC or is it the FS default? Does VNAV work as it should? I may consider this if this stuff works.
