anitelite, I am not sure of your question. However, FYI I like to save an external view of the aircraft to the keypad. Select SHIFT 4 for the outside view of the aircraft and save it to CTRL - KEYPAD 9. Any number will do, but 9 keeps it out of the way. Other views may work, though I haven't tried them out.

GoranM, re: both TBM and 650 updates to XP12 will be free of charge. Thanks. That's really great news. I have the 650 and look forward to the XP12 update. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi, FYI: I tried XP12 wihout ortho then reinstalled my ortho files from XP-11. Most of the files were corrupted because of the Global Scenery updates. So, I redid my tiles with the XP12 Global Scenery and the results were great - a huge improvement in the visuals. Oscar Pilote should get a World Cup medal for his work. I was mostly interested (at present) in the New Jersey corridor connecting NJ, NY, PHL, BAL and DC. The tiles did use up some disk space, but, in my opinion, was worth it. You might like to try it.

Wow! Many interesting comments............................. Seems too argumentative. If a more realistic 3D environment can be made available to X-Plane 12 users, subscribed or unsubscribed, it should be evaluated. Thank God for the talented people that even make these arguments possible.

I like the Wilga - an interesting design for sure. I'd just like the plain old bird and a glider to tow. Perhaps, this could be a separate package.

Bluetooth Number Pad? Kind of an interesting possibility. I wonder if it could be made to work as an adjunct to my existing Windows number pad for additional commands. There never seems to be enough commands. ????

Looks interesting to me. I "added" my name at Flightsim.To for the topic. There may be a delay, but my request didn't show up with the others.

Canadians of the world unite! The remarks on the Canada update are disappointing. I hope MSFS fixes the shortcomings promptly. I have it installed and, so far, not inclined to fly there.

I wanted to try ortho4xp in XP12 so I put some old XP11 shortcuts in the Custom Scenery folder. It worked fine and the improvement in realism was startling. I hope an upgrade version will be available for XP12 with whatever improvements that have been developed over the last several years. Thanks to the talented people that bring this stuff to us.

I made a couple of flights with LR and a VSKYLABS aircraft. The visuals of the LR aircraft were excellent. The water was beautiful and had an interesting transparency. Water landing and subsequent field landing were logged - nice. The only discrepancy that I noted was the water rudder controls were reversed. I am looking forward to the development of the scenery and the future of XP12.

Where's the beef?..........................................................

I bought the PMDG B737-800 (and the -600). On a recent flight from Newark to Las Vegas it worked great in LNAV and VNAV. The flying characteristics were good. PMDG did a great job. I also experimented with the "Save" function and it worked flawlessly on a saved pre-departure scenario.

I take a look at a Google map of the city/area. If there is a structure of particular interest I Google that for further background. Personally, I do not like POIs. I'd like to see a way of turning them on/off with a button press.

I have the Challenger 650 and it is a really nice airplane. It does LNAV and VNAV very well and has great range (4000nm). The pop-up instruments are a great aid to seeing them more sharply and placing for convenience. It's a good looking bird and it does fly well; The FBO and walk-around are cleverly done. A lot of work went into the design concept. However, I would like to see the option of a built-in flight ready state without going through the "save" function. Just load in the flight plan and fuel and go................ Now for XP12.

The last X-Plane Development Update was 19 May 2022. It would really be nice to get some updated info from the source. Three months is a bit of an information gap for those of us looking forward to XP12.

Do it! I am looking forward to the release of X-Plane 12. Short final? I hope that means hours or days and not weeks and months. I have a clean m.2 drive awaiting the new arrival. Good luck with a successful launch.

Very interesting use of XP12. I hope an upgraded Canadair CL415 for XP12 sim users will become available. It is a great looking aircraft.

If iniBuilds abandons XP, so be it. There will be others to replace it. Some seem to have a deathwish for XP despite its rather insignificant space in the flight sim galaxy. MSFS has a dominant position in resources and that will not change. MSFS 2020 certainly has enlivened interest and has advanced the genre. I hope XP12 is a success and it may bring some new insights into our hobby.

For those curious about international flights out of Newark Liberty, here is a partial list: Frankfurt, Germany Istanbul,Turkey Paris, France Amsterdam, Netherlands London, United Kingdom Munich, Germany Vienna, Austria Rome, Italy Barcelona, Spain Zurich, Switzerland Madrid, Spain Dublin, Ireland Brussels, Belgium Shanghai, China Paris, France Copenhagen, Denmark Beijing, China Palma De Mallorca, Spain Milano, Italy Berlin, Germany Athens, Greece Stockholm, Sweden Edinburgh, United Kingdom Lisbon, Portugal Warsaw, Poland Oslo, Norway Delhi, India

Yes, bring on a first rate rendition of KEWR - Newark Liberty International Airport. It is the choice airport for many in the NJ/NY area. It was the first airport to serve the area. It is also a convenient stop for those sailing out of the Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne. Do not underrate KEWR.

Hi, Each passing day indicates XP12 is getting closer to release (I hope). So, I started looking over my storage spaces and wondered what the impact of XP12 would be on disk space. I haven't seen any info in this regard. It seems XP12 will be more robust than XP11 which probably means more storage.

So far, It looks like a buy. The price is very reasonable, if not generous. I'd like to support Fenix and future aircraft - like, maybe, the A321XLR.

I flew the C172 (1000) at KCRW and there was annoying bouncing around. No winds were set. The C172 is usually pretty smooth.

Hi Sean, I hope the F7F has an operating tailhook. It isn't easy to see in pix of the F7F I checked. Grumman did a nice job of fairing it into the fuselage. Thanks.

Hi Sean, The F7F looks great. The spinners look a little out of place. It must have been a gas to fly in real life - sleek. Don't forget a Navy paint. Thanks for your work on this historic aircraft.
