Here's a new video from the author of ortho4XP about this subject and other new features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWOQ1PiiTNw Marcel

Well you really can't complain about free scenery when it's free? Besides the results i get with Ortho4XP are very good, I even think it often looks better that the orbx regions that i have for P3D, it certainly looks more real. Marcel

Hi, There's a link to his dropbox down on the left of Oscar pilote's posts on the Ortho4XP topic in the Scenery development section of the forum at x-plane.org. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/90469-ortho4xp/&page=65 Marcel

Also regarding photoimagery, The author of Ortho4Xp has released a new version which is very easy to install on windows and make your own photo-scenery tiles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrkoOhua80A Marcel

yes exactly, I also do not own this aircraft but after the experience with other simulations like PSX, X-plane's IXEG 737, and majestic's Q400, I really don't want to buy another addon if it has compromised/limited FSX/PD3 flight dynamics, even if it has top notch systems simulation.

Here's another interesting post about the roll inertia in the landing fase http://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/8654-normal-law-roll-feel/ Marcel

I just hope they fix the inaccuracies in the 172 first. For instance the maintenance module and the engine start dynamics are flawed.

Hi Philippe, The right answer is 640. Marcel

Great news, Aerowinx PSX precision simulator 747-400 is released!!; that is, in the Netherlands it's already on stock at the aviation megastore. Marcel van Santen

I disagree, i think he said that the DVD production will start somewhere in July.

Yes, after all these years waiting, finally a successor to the old DOS based ps1.3. is coming. Wow the level of detail is unbelievable! This is going to be THE benchmark for boeing 747 400 add ons!

In terms of systems and visuals the PDMG 777 has come a long way in comparison with the leveld 767. The flight dynamics however feel about the same , i don't think in that area there have been many improvements. Marcel van Santen

Nice video, what i noticed that the plane seems very stable especially in the roll axis. On approach when the airspeed is low and when the control surfaces are less effective does it require regular control input to keep the wings level and counteract the inertia of the (huge) engines? Is this modelled with the new FBW system? Marcel van Santen
