March 2, 201511 yr WOW!! The sounds are great, the whole package looks fantastic. I don't care what it costs I'll buy it. I just hope I get it before it breaks servers on release day, I'd say this will be the best selling XP aircraft ever. +1
March 2, 201511 yr Let me just pick up my jaw and wipe the drool from the keyboard! Stunning, just stunning! Everyday day that goes by is a day closer to this beauty being released Alaister Kay

March 2, 201511 yr I felt a need to smoke a cigarette and raid the fridge after watching that, and I quit smoking 4 years ago!

March 2, 201511 yr I felt a need to smoke a cigarette and raid the fridge after watching that, and I quit smoking 4 years ago! This plane will change the face of X-Plane imo. I can't wait for the release (actually I can I just don't want to)! Maybe IXEG can tackle the weather engine next...please? Ryan

March 26, 201511 yr So cant wait to get my hands on this plane! Nice to see its in Beta an being updated From EGFF to YSSY
March 26, 201511 yr Yeah mine too, may even be a total switch to XPL from p3d/fsx if its as good as it looks
March 26, 201511 yr Moderator Yeah mine too, may even be a total switch to XPL from p3d/fsx if its as good as it looks One product has the power to do that. Maybe LR should be paying them to get it finished quicker ;-) With this and PMDG also on board, I expect X-Plane will be getting lots of new users when they are finally released.
March 26, 201511 yr Yup, with the view distance improved and the B733 out I would expect a modest influx. Once Philipp has had a go at fixing ATC we may see some more. If LR can get seasons and AI fixed in v11 the floodgates should open.
