Air Aisa A330 lands at wrong airport!
The title is very wrong indeed and was started by an Australian media outlet and never corrected. Let's face it, makes people want to click on the link far more than if the title said "Pilots enter wrong coordinates and have to return to land". How the pilot missed the cues is bewildering. The aircraft was supposed to turn right after takeoff but turned left, across the path of the parallel runway. This is when ATC and the crew took control and unfortunately for the crew they could not return to Sydney to land due to severe weather so they went to YMML. There was no mistake there, once at ML they performed maintenance and continued on.

FS Global Real Weather vs Real weather Connector
Correct, FSGRW is a weather generator, uses GRIB and interpolates weather to generate it around the world. RWC is an interface that collects the data generated by a weather creator program such as FSGRW, XPlane default weather, NOAA plugin etc. and uses bypasses a lot of the XPlane limitations to show you this weather. XPlane has a limit of 3 layers of cloud and 3 layers of wind. RWC aims to by pass this limitation and inject whatever weather is required. They are both different programs for different goals.

FF 767 update 1.1.12 released
No you don't get a specific email, it got advertised in the 767 support forum. I believe you will get a promotions email from their distributer stating the aircraft has been updated but that is it.

PMDG Sponsorship for my quest to visit every country.
Give yourself plenty of time to do this, we did the same a while back, fly to at least one airport in every country. Soon you realise how big Mother Earth truly is! But it is a great adventure!

Great upcoming event
Not sure if everyone saw this, but I believe some of the streaming will be of flying in different FSX aircraft, as well as interviews with celebrities such as the Tuskegee Airmen, real life Concorde pilots, current Airbus pilots as well as Air Force personnel.

What's the best looking airport/scenery add-on for X-Plane?
That is true, apologies, I thought he only meant payware. The MisterX sceneries are a must-have.

What's the best looking airport/scenery add-on for X-Plane?
Aerosoft Manchester is very good, and I also purchased LOWL and LOWS, very nice indeed. If you are in the market for GA airports, Lufker-Spadaro is a true work of art.

Good carenado for casual flying in X-Plane 10?
SIMCODERs is a company that created the very good "HeadShake" free plug in as well as a few others. They released a "Reality Expansion Pack"...it adds new sounds, systems, and a whole lot of features to the aircraft. Think of it as adding an enhanced "A2A Accusim" pack for it: http://www.simcoders.com/reality-expansion-pack/overview

Aaron, I am using the Carenado Cessna 210 with Simcoder's REP....a very good combination which brings systems and realism to the aircraft
