http://www.virtualcol.com/shop/tvirtual.php?modulo=detalleprod.php&id_producto=82 It doesn't look 'to' bad. I guess you would probably be happy with it paying £7. Decisions decisions.

The Dornier 328's exterior model was pretty good but let down by some awful texture work. I had to redo all the bump maps on the model. For me, they had not been created properly. Sent an email to the developers about it on several occasions, that, and highlingting the terrible smoothing errors on the exterior. Received no response at all. Judging by the pictures, they've not made the same errors on the model. The engine shape on the ATR42 is completely wrong. Looks messy but am desperate for an ATR...

Anyone tried the newly released ATR-42 from Virtualcol? I purhcased the Dornier 328 which externally and internally was a dissapointment but the external doesn't seem to bad on this, certainly for £7. Obviously the interior is lacking, but I was fairly impressed with the Jetstream 31 they did last year. http://www.virtualcol.com/shop/tvirtual.php?modulo=detalleprod.php&id_producto=82

Whoops :rolleyes:

Judging by your siggy, I assume you've got ORBX England installed? Although this is for the new UK2K EGNM, it should fix your dissapearing jetways. Check this thread. http://www.uk2000scenery.org/forum/index.php?topic=7388.0

This is a poor, unfinished product accompanied by poor customer service. Not even received a response from my 'bug report'!

I've been using SweetFX since it's released, and quite frankly don't know have I lived without it before! Now run it across the board in all games, no performance hit in any. Don't forget, AntiAliasing needs to be switched of inside FSX for SweetFX to work.

Worth buying? Not sure whether to take the gamble of £15 for them both. I do recall VirtualCol releasing a patch for the Jetstream fairly soon after its release last year.

Whats the exterior model and handling like selkin? Providing the bugs are fixed, is it worth it?

I was going to suggest that Bjoern. Port over the sounds, FDE and VC and you've got the perfect Dornier 328!

I'm hesitant to buy because the same texture issues are evident that existed in the Jestream. Take a look at the rear half of the fuselage and where it joins the front, as with the nose and belly of the gear hold, leaves me feeling it would be a good model, but visually let down.

What detail have they gone into with the airports? Have the default airports just been re-aligned?

You can't add a VC as it's not a native FSX model. It was compiled for FS2004.

Plymouth aim is to have a population of 350,000 by 2020. We have poor road and rail links, a crash is enough to close out main trunk roads, the airport is next to a trauma center and without it, transplant ans air ambulances cannot land. They refuse as there is no fuel available. Its not just about passengers, the Navy used it and are now lost without it threatening Devonport dockyard. It has an impact on the city that goes far beyond this post.

There was passengers, plenty of them but the leaseholder purposely put the airport into a down hill spiral so it would be un-viable. It always was viable, it has been for 72 years. The e-petition is really an online version for those that wish to sign, we have 10,000 more on paper + 2,000 on the e-petition.
