    Southwest is an obvious choice, but make it look filthy, used and abused like the ones I see at PHL :(
  3. Ok, after reading the review on Avsim I decided to give it a try. I was wrong on all counts. This is truly amazing. What a huge difference. I was really surprised when I payed and had my code via email in about 10 minutes.I'm doing the tutorial flights now.Amazing..love it!!
  4. I was so excited last night when I found this product. I have been searching for a replacement for ATC in FSX because FSX ATC is so basic. Then I started reading through the manual and I checked out some youtube vids and became less enthusiastic.I have not used the program yet but when I read the feature list it seems like with the exception of emergencies and holds, FSX ATC does most all the things RADAR Contact does. Am I missing something?Then I listened to Radar Contact on youtube and was not at all impressed by the voices. It didn't sound like radio traffic at all. The terminology was correct, I am speaking of the sound quality. it sounded too crisp and clear, not like a vhf radio. I haven't heard the 3rd party voices yet so they may be better.Then I saw that SIDS and STARS were not really supported. The program just kinda ignores you while you fly them. Which is a plus I guess since FSX ATC wont ignore you if you do that.I am NOT criticizing the product at all. Like I said I haven't tried it yet. I just am interested to hear some opinions on why I should try it.The 2 things that have held up my purchase so far are that I really don't want another addon bandaid that I have to coax to work and the paying then having to wait for someone to send me an email so I can use it, then again every time I re-install it. That one is likely the deal breaker.
  5. There is an option during setup to make the water masks not hug the coastlines as close. I'm not sure which parameter it adjusts but it says in setup that the option will show more reefs.
  6. http://www.citadel.co.nr/readydriverplus/If you install this bootloader it will automaticaly run vista with the unsigned drivers option at bootup.Works great. Very easy to install. Hope that helps.
  7. Got to the Start > Accessories menu and right click "Command Prompt" Then select Run as Administrator then type "bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON" in the box without the quotes. hit Enter Dont reboot install and run the driverworked for me. Hope it helpsI'm running Vista 64 ultimate SP1
  8. Im using Vista 64 and ran repaint as an administrator. Make a new livery for whatever a/c you like then save it in fs repaint. Go to your msfs folder where the a/c that you are modifing resides and manually copy the textures from the base texture that you selected in repaint to the empty texture folder that repaint made. Once the textures are in that folder you can restart paint and modify them and they will be available to fly in fsx. The only thing I noticed is that the fs repaint plane doesn't get an entry in the aircraft.cfg file that I can find. Not sure how that works.
