WR269

Wow...this sounds fantastic....can't wait to get the Hornet. Are we safe to assume release within the next few months? Definitely this year?

What a great read! As a simming enthusiast, can't wait for this event, truly unique.

A B733 freighter collapsed the gear after a hard landing in Indonesia. The 2 crew were unhurt. The airport has no navaids and is strictly Visual only.

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.

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.

This is a famous accident...a book even pagliarised this accident. https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19930406-2

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.

Try this one...Chitral Airport, Pakistan Or Gilgit, also in Pakistan

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!

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.

This is a wonderful initiative and should be a great event to fly in! I shall be there!

That is true, apologies, I thought he only meant payware. The MisterX sceneries are a must-have.

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.

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
