Wow, thanks for this. We flew in and out from here about three years ago. Had a wonderful two weeks relaxing and touring the whole island. The Molokai airport looks exactly like we remember it. A stunning rendition. It will be a purchase for sure. Probably Lihue as well.

CRJ.

I haven't been simming for a few weeks. Any latest news on the CRJ?

 

Thanks!

At the time I it showed up on simmarket I could only see two screenshots. They must uploaded more later

I posted some pics. It's leaps ahead of default. I highly recommend it.

I checked this out and may possibly buy it.  I see that it has gotten great reviews and is priced lower than the Aerolite 103.  My only hesitation is that it is somewhat boxy and weird looking.  But what the heck ... there may be room for both in my hanger.

Just bought it and one flight later, I'm sold.  Lovely, fps-light, just fun for less than 3 pints of Guinness that we can't get in a pub anyway 🙂

I already got it! Thanks! 🙂

PMDG NGX, a well done VHXX or Aerosoft Twotter whichever comes first!

...on short final and will be my next purchase   >>> https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/155410-aerosoft-aircraft-crj/page/93/&tab=comments#comment-1015963

Wasn't sure whether to go for the 737 or the Microlight 103 - in the end I plumped for the latter as it will be more use exploring the upgraded UK scenery.

There’s no doubt that it is a trifle odd-looking. It’s a bit like flying a traction engine with wings. But it’s impossible not to fall in love with. And the weird looks actually become part of the charm 😉

Agreed. EGPH in XP11 is nicely done, especially with the lit tower at night. I spoke to Gaya who developed it for Orbx and they said they couldn’t say much since it was a licence to Orbx but would expect it to come to MSFS. 

Good to hear it's as close to confirmed as seems possible right now. hopefully not too far away. On the surface, a straight port with minor tweaks would seem to be enough, but I assume it would take more work in reality, plus there have been some real world changes since the P3D version was released.

But I am a massive user of freeware sceneries and airports.

I had hoped to be buying little to know payware for this sim, and have managed pretty well, but there have been a few gems for areas I fly to regularly.

Yeah, the reason I went with the Aerolite despite its quirky (and sometimes annoying) faults is the visual model.  I suppose you can get use to the Lego look of the Power Solo but it is not overly suited to making videos.

It would be a relatively simple job to fix a lot of those flat artificial textures ( even a simple old school trick like overlaying something random like a desaturated photo of autumn leaves at about 5% over the flat surfaces would help immensely) and I might just buy it and do that if I have time at some point.  The dev is keen and learning as he goes along so it would be good to encourage him.

I like the 103 a lot it is great fun,  but a few things to be aware of:

•  slip ball works backwards (not that you can usually see it the yoke gets in the way)
• the throttle lever in cockpit also works reverse to normal aircraft but that may possibly be realistic
• flap lever and switches are above your ahead
• it is very light and spawns without parking brake so be prepared for it to start moving (sometimes backwards) as you spawn, just hit parking brake
• there is a gear bug - if you spawn at a random point in the air the fixed gear will be "retracted" and will cause a crash if you later try and land without "lowering" it
• whilst it can fly quite slow it is in reverse command to about 40 knots and needs a lot of power to stay in the air at slow speeds

Great report Glenn.  Appreciate your efforts and time to reply.
