... and now the Tristar after the 707 and Dc-9, but why on earth does nobody gets us a decent DC-8? Like the freeware DC-8s from HJG ages ago.

I think the majority of serious flight simmers belong to the baby boomer generation, I am in that same boat. We all grew up with those wonderful noisy jetliners of the 60s and 70s and IMHO the best looking were the DC-8s. From the very early models to the late digital cockpit and CFM engine equipped converted freighters. I am sure there would be a market for it. I have worked for the Flying Tiger line in the late seventies early eighties, ground staff, and have made several North Atlantic crossings in their DC-8s, in the cockpit jump seat that was, always with fuel stops at Shannon and Gander. Wish I had to chance to experience that again. It was wonderful.

Why is it that we have got no payware DC-8s for FS2020/2024? Nothing since HJG's freeware jets many years ago. We have got DC-9s, DC-10s, 727s, 707s, etc but no DC-8. I am sure there would be lot of interest not just imited to baby boomers.

or even more realistic, why not starting from at home? Have given up on FS2024 and went back to FS2020 a couple of weeks ago. Microsoft/Asobo are stealing my time. My request for a refund has been declined by Microsoft, no surprise.

I am sure they recognize that fact regarding gamers vs serious enthusiasts but it seems that they couldn't care less. The future belongs to the juvenile and they want their money.

Exactly, that's how I see it as well, couldn't agree more

Did you delete each and every keyboard setting manually - that will take a lot of time. Or is there a menu item to delete everything in one go?

Hope I'm not hijacking this post but is there really no way to start a free flight in the cockpit showing the standard pilot's view as in FS 2020? Have tried everything but no success.

the file is gone

I own both the Carenado and F1 and to me it's a non-brainer. I have to admit that I've liked the Carenado a lot, but used it mainly to shorten the waiting time for F1's bird. I am a bit biased because I was a big fan of the Aeroworx King Air and like a complex aircraft. Initially I was concerned that a G1000 cockpit would not be my cup of tea, but it only took a few flights to convince me otherwise. I haven't touched the Carenado since. What does speak in favour of the Carenado is the visual model, which IMHO is better done than the Flight 1. In an ideal world one would be able to buy a hybrid with Flight 1 's model and Carenado's visuals. ..and last but not least, Flight 1's support team is second to None.

will try that

When starting the approach phase and switching off the autopilot's NAV and ALT mode, my plane behaves very erratically and is very difficult to stabilize for hand flying the final approach. The plane makes and almost uncontrollable dive the moment I switch the AP off. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

That did the trick. Many thanks and Grüsse nach Nürnberg ! Roland

I know this has been discussed before but I need instructions about how to amend the respective xml gauge in the B200KA.cab to have the winglets permanently on. Many thanks for your help!

Cannot wait to download your file with all the goodies Flying Bob. You know a lot about how things can be done in FSX, hats off !!!

merci beaucoup, Pierre ! Roland

SP1 does make a big difference - lots of things seem to have been fixed incl the Ann lights, and the new "louder" soundset is mindblowing, actually the best FS King Air sound ever IMHO and that includes the Aeroworx and TSS. Thanks a million Carenado !

Hi Pierre, I have no idea how to repack the amended xml file back into the cab file. How do you do this? Or could you pm me the new cab file with the changes? Thanks, Roland

thumbs up here as well ! and SP1 will be out shortly and will hopefully improve things.

Stunning ! Will you upload to the AVSIM File Library when finished?

If only the upcoming Carenado B200 would have been equipped with a Proline 21 cockpit ...

can second that Cheers, Roland

Many thanks for the valuable information. Even though I like the Carenado C90 a lot I really do miss the Aeroworx B200 and I gather from your post that it looks as if Flight 1 will keep their promise and provide us with a successor for FSX ??!! :Kiss:

Thanks for the feedback. I have tried the same with no pleasing results. What figure do you use for static thrust (mine is at 158) and how did you increase max airspeed of the Barber's pole? I have increased the prop diameter by 0.3 ft and prop thrust scalar is at 1.2 instead of 1.0.

I'd like to know that as well before purchasing the soundpack from simmarket. Thanks for letting us know.
