Thanks JayKae,It's great that our North American cousins are now able to experience flying at home in much the same manner that we Aussies have over the past few years.All the best to the Orbx team and hopefully the success of PNW will lead to many more packages of FTX goodness for many other parts of the the world in the future.Cheers and all the best,

Classy reply JV as usual. All the very best with the release. I am absolutely positive it will be a huge winner for you and the team.Regards to all,

I wouldn't go that far, but I agree that it is very much better than the usual fare of the stuttering circular windmill animation... Very much more realistic IMHO.Cheers

Those shots are phenomenal, I have been looking for a decent regional turboprop to start to learn some more complex piloting/systems management for a while now, and after 25 years of simming, I think I have found a place to begin that.Cheers and thanks for the screenies,

Wow, great screenies of a wonderful looking cockpit and panel.Cheers and thanks for posting those.

6 of the last 7 replies do nothing whatsoever for the discussion... Do you think we could move along somewhat?I would like to know how difficult would it be to develop a JS31 out of this product? We had some of those with SkyWest here in Western Australia and I flew in them quite a bit many moons ago.Cheers,

I once had a problem with my CH Quadrant causing an uncommanded full lean/fuel cutoff movement of the mixture lever in another aircraft (not RealAir). I discovered that this was due to the calibration of the physical device going out of whack causing the virtual version to command a fuel cutoff.Re-calibrating the device fixed the problem.Cheers,

Jeez mcbellette, bout time you took a bit of your own advice... I know from my experience in kindergarten over 40 years ago you sometimes had to yell to be noticed, but mate get a grip... No one gives a rats about your petty issues, really!!!Go lie down mate, time for your afternoon nap.

Stunning stuff Robert and thank you for sharing thos screenies.I wonder if it were possible to re-create the JS31 as I have had many fond memories of flying in those via SkyWest in Western Australia. If not, no matter, will be really looking forward to this beautiful product.

It would be hard to go past this one...Some awesome new scenery,,,Cheers,

And yet another innovation to make it "As Real As It Gets"... Just amazing...Runway and Taxyway markingsCheers,

And the news gets better and better...Bill Womack - Some news...Cheers,

What an illuminating post, and such a valuable contribution to the friendly discussion thats been going on for 5 pages now. There has to be one plonker though...Sad...

?????? "This video has been removed by the owner"Is there a site where one can view this?

Thanks for the snippets of information tkyler, I'm sure that it does much to arouse interest amongst many here. I am curious though.One of the big advances, certainly in my opinion, has been the development and introduction of the A2A Simulation "Accu-Sim" equipped aircraft. I feel that this level of functionality is where most aircraft will head to eventually in the MSFS world if they are to be taken seriously. In your opinion, does X-Plane have the structure to be able to model aircraft systems to this level and if so, would you like to comment as to whether it's being done and if not, what are the impediments to acieving it in that sim.Cheers and thanks for posting here,

This is my other home, a really friendly place... Hop on over and have a peek inside,Orbx forumsCheers,

And many thanks for that Geof. I fully understand your comment about the intangibles that are often so difficult to quantify but also so often make most of what it is to simulate flight. Since our days of Pro Pilot and Fly! which both did so much to advance the genre, I have been looking for a product that will spur the next leap in technology of our hobby. maybe XP is it, maybe it isn't, but every time a sim is launched that could possibly threaten the dominance of MSFS, MS has responded with something awesome.It is for that reason that I applaud and urge the ongoing development of XP, firstly so that we will have a bit of variety, but secondly to also challenge the at times complacent folk at MSGS. However with the recent developments, maybe it is only the first reason that may be fulfilled. Who knows.Cheers and all the best Geof, it has been an interesting ride in this hobby over the years. I still remember the initial announcements about the upcomming launch of a new site called AvSim so many years ago and posting my first post an hour or two before the launch of the initial forum, with a somewhat puzzled Tom Allensworth asking how the $%^%$ we got on so early :( At the time there were a whole bunch of us who used to hang out at Al Pelletier's Comox Valley site from memory...Regards,

Having way too much fun in the RV Larry :( Cheers,

To continue with the theme of this thread, two of my favourite aircraft will appear in good time. My glass is indeed much more than half full...Stangs and Cubs...Cheers,

Thanks for that Cameron. I have viewed and enjoyed those videos many times since they first hit YouTube. Cheers,What I am really after is Geof's view as he is somewhat unique (IMHO) in his ability to not stray into the territory of the tribal a really excited user. Having interacted with Geof on occasion since the inception of AvSim, he has distinguished himself with his ability to be impartial when evaluating products. I believe that a Geof Applegate review of the X-Plane MU2 would be a significant milestone for many of us Simmer/Hobbyists who are indeed looking into the future past FsX. I do however believe that FsX has a long way to go as I mentioned in this thread on the FsX forum here... Glass half empty?I certainly hope Austin and his "team" are keeping a close eye on this forum and others as there is an opportunity the likes of which will not be seen for quite a while. It has been interesting reading though...Cheers and all the best, And so would I...Cheers,

Thanks Geof, much appreciated, however look forward to a more exhaustive analysis if you ever get the opportunity to check out the MU2.Cheers and all the best,

Geof,Have you tested the MU2 yet and do you have a bit of a review to share with us.Cheers,

While the eventual outcome of the MSFS franchise is certainly open to speculation, the "Fact" that the ACES development team has been disbanded cannot be misinterperated...Cheers,

Just about the biggest thing to hit the flightsim world for the last 20 years... Read on...The Facts EmergeCheers,

Now I hate when you do that... :( Mmmmmmm I wonder what's going on in that Santa's workshop with the Orbx sign over the door...Cheers JayKae
