Are you on a hard surface runway, per chance? Floats don't work so good there. As a workaround you can use SLEW (press 'Y', then 'F3" for a bit, then 'Y' again) to get you in the air.

Yeah, sorry about those CH bugs. See my blog for more info.

Good point but we were afraid we'd tick off all the folks who *must have* easy access to "DME Select". ;)

<<- no seetings for step size when 'walking' outside the aircraft>>Can you explain this one more??

The "UFOs" are a result of FS having a truly "round" earth now and the lighting effects had not been updated to use the correct math. This should be fixed in the final product.

Also you can replace our music with your own if you;d like.

There just don't happen to be any (official ones) in the demo area.

More observations on the demo1. When in full screen mode, I went to uncheck anti-aliasing while in flight. Once back to the VC the screen flickers constantly. re-enabling anti-aliasing remedies the problem. I tested this occurance several times and each time it was the same.2. Ground vehicles disappear based on zoom level of camera. I know your thinking "duh!!" but, when I am zoomed in on a plane parked at the gates at 1.50 zoom I can see the shadow of the luggage cart moving around but no luggage cart. If I zoom to 1.00 or less the luggage cart shows up. If I pan at this zoom level the luggage cart disappears completely.3. When flying the other night, I had a screen flicker and then all the trees and autogen buildings were floating!! It was really intersting.4. AI cars disappearing at turn by runway 9 at Princess Juliana only to reappear further down the road. Must be that new BF2142 cloaking device!!
