China Cargo AIrlines (not the same as China Airlines Cargo) would be a nice addition too.

There are several programs that allow you to update airport information and even create new airports from scratch. I use AIrportDesignEditor (ADE) but it isn't the only one out there. You also have the option of editing the xml data - but that is a very tricky process and in the end it is easier to use something like ADE instead. You can also add approaches, markers, etc as well. However, if you haven't done this sort of thing before, you need to give yourself time to read the documentation and forum posts. Otherwise you could find yourself wasting a lot of time doing something that would have been easier had you just read the manual. I have only edited FSX and FS9 airports - PD3 and XPlane likely have equivalent software for those platforms. Also, always do a search on the AVSIM library. It may well be that someone else has already issued a "correct version" of the airport which will save you a lot of time and bother. I've found lots of them that way.

South African AIrlines is one of the last to use the J41 in real-world ops. But hurry if you want to use their routes - they are losing to the EJets.

It was worth the money.

Nothing less than a masterpiece as always.

In pace requiescat!

Definitely worth it as long as you run it realistically. Flying the piston props of that size is a lost art - the immersion level is incredible. And be sure to get AccuSim and Captain of the Ship - that makes it perfect.

I think that when it comes down to it, XPlane and FSX are aimed at different types of users. I was impressed with XPlane graphics - but I am into the ground experience (taxiing refueling etc) just as much as the air - and ground realism is the one area that XPlane could use some work. But - many of the people who use XPlane couldn't care less about the ground experience - and for them XPlane seems to work perfectly. In summary - I wouldn't switch simulators expecting one to be "better" than the other. They will be different, yes. But better or worse? No. That would only be possible if the two were exactly alike and they aren't.

Absolute satisfaction here. Good job.

The same thing here - really strange. Pressing Q does not appear to have any effect. Oddly enough the cockpit sounds are not affected - only the engines. FSX ATC goes down with it.Brian Monroe

As always - and absolutely awesome model! Good job.Brian Monroe

Try this also: select the "RECALCULATE" option - for some reason that loads the item into the cart.Brian Monroe

System: Vista Ultimate 32 on an AMD Athlon 64 dual-core PC; 4 GB Ram; 400 GB hard drive; FSX SP2, ATI Radeon 1650 512MB.I use another piece of software unrelated to flight simming called Sibelius which frequently crashed with the annoying "application stopped working" message. The company posted a fix that took care of that problem - and also took care of the same problem in FSX.It used to be that certain add-ons (notably MadDog 2006 and Wilco Airbus) would not quit FSX cleanly: if I was using them and quit FSX, the application would crash with the "application stopped working" message. No longer since I installed the update.I cannot post the file here and I am not sure if non-users of the software can download it. The file looks for AppInit_DLL files in the registry (whatever those may be) and deletes them. In this case it was a file that had something to do with PGP desktop. The disabled file has had no adverse effect on PGP desktop and FSX is a lot more fun to use.Perhaps someone who knows more about the inner depths of programming can follow up on this clue?

It was a VERY rough ride today - the autoflight system was going nuts because the wind was changing direction and speed every 1 second interval. Which is actually great if you're after absolute realism - but the models I fly do NOT respond well to this sort of thing.However - you can't beat it for realism.
