Thanks for the link on the B737 Classic.You are sure right about that and I'm downloading it right now.Ed

Thankyou very much for the list Ed. I have the PMDG 737 and PSS Airbus 320/340 and could not agree more. I know what you mean about getting a program which sits on the shelf I have several but thats just the way it goes :-). It'll be intersting to see which way the coming PIC 737-400 goes.Andrew Brownhttp://www.gordiusfs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

I'm glad you are enjoying the package. I hope I have not given the wrong impression. Definitely a package that is better if you want to fly the 747. I know exactly what you mean (I think) about the fun in flying thing. I often despair of the number of buttons and switches to get your head around in some aircraft (not that they aren't excellent I fly them often) and it is indeed good sometimes to fly something which can be what I might call a bit more relaxing - no need to worry about whether you pressed the widget activation button before final and missing the glidelope because of that :-) I expected the 727/737 would have been up to the standard of the 747 but can't have everything. Looks like I'll have to wait for something that in my opinion is a little better. A shame I didn'/don't want such a 747.Andrew Brownhttp://www.gordiusfs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

I just purchased Vol. 1. While I agree that some of the vc's could have used a little more effort, overall I'm not disappointed. These are aircraft I have been wanting with vc's, but was never prepared to pay that price for one aircraft, and simply don't have the time to do full procedures. These fit the bill nicely. I knew that they probably weren't going to be PMDG quality, but they don't kill my frame rates either. Where else can you find a 732 with vc?I can see if you don't care about vc's you would be very disappointed. The 2D panels aren't much to look at, but they do work well. But you can see that from the screen shots can't you? The exterior models are terrific, and some are better than any freeware I have seen.The only real complaint I have are the vc windows. They are really milky in appearance, which detracts from enjoying FS scenery and visibility in general. I hope they can address this in a patch and also add wing views (Yes, I'm one of "those" Mark :-) ) Cheers,Todd

Hi Todd,The "milky" apperance on the VC windows has to do with the alpha layers for the windows. If you know how to edit a alphalayer, it could be done in a minute. ;-)Since AeroSim added wingviews for the CA2 package, it wouldn

Hi Andrew,I am sorry if you prefered the 737 in this package. It is the same thing in CA2, where there is a clear quality difference between the Tristar/DC-10 and the DC-8. You can easily see where they put the quality effort.The same goes for CA1 where the Classic 747 is the main title.I really know how it feels to "throw" away money on addons, which goes to the "lower storage bin". I really don

Ed I have to correct you on the Airbuses...Currently SSW's A310 is the best Airbus on the market right now then comes PSS's A330/340 series. Ariane's BBJ and 737NG VCe is right up there with the best of the best also...

Dillon,Thanks for the comments and I am sure you're right about the Airbus and the B737. It's great to have so many quality addons to choose from.Ed

Thanks Staffan,I could be wrong, but I think the window tint is part of the vc model. I looked and didn't see anything suspicious on the textures or alphas. I am doing some repainting of the 727 vc though. Still a few things to tweak.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/127391.jpgTodd

Looking good !!What happens if you make the alpha layer all white on the side windows part in the "AS_B727_VC02_t.bmp" file?Staffanhttp://www.scandicair.com/images/as_banner.jpg

>>Ed's panels aren't available yet, but sure hope he releases them soon.I doubt about it. Any time there is a new model coming out he builts a new one but never finishes the previous ones.___________________________Best Regards,Bodo M
