Mostly of the armchair variety...

Are you in a big enough parking spot for your plane?

I had the fortune to see one at YSSY, but the crappy cellphone photo through the terminal glass as it went up thru 1,500' isn't quite as good as yours! That last one is great. Been flying the virtual one all weekend thus far, taking the opportunity to do some long haul with the wife & child away. Mike

No point making them if no one is going to buy them. ETOPS has largely seen to that. Passengers hating legacy hubs doesn't help. Who'd go to LAX or Heathrow (or Sydney) if they could avoid it?

As it should be... ; )

I realised what I did... I ran the FSX and Acceleration repairs. So I suspect that's overwritten something. It's messed up my FT Dubai. Runways are all as per the FT scenery, but there are no buildings. No doubt there are others with problems. Re-running the installers hasn't help. Might have to uninstall the airports and re-install. Need to fix up the AI traffic as well. I've now got a lot of default AI back. It's probably something I shouldn't have done. I had done in the past, but that was before lots of add ons to screw up. Hopefully I won't have to do a full reinstall. Shouldn't think so, but we shall see... Mike

Sounds like an out of memory error. You run out of virtual addressable space (or something like that). Search OOMs here and you'll find plenty of people have the same problem. Only way around it is to turn down the settings.

While I haven't bothered setting it up to start in anything other than an engines running state (other than maybe once early on), I don't find the yoke position that bad. Not fantastic, but not unflyably bad. Is it just for start up where it's a pain, or everything? If I haven't flown it for a while I use the 2D overhead to remind myself where the switches are, but it soon sinks back in so that it can be done from the VC with the hat for view. Mike

DC-6 or QW 737 Razbam Saab 340 maybe Mythical F-27. (I know JF are doing one, and I want it to be good, just like I wanted a bunch of other planes to be better than they are...) In that order I think... Mike

I'm going to call it my favourites, not 'the best' because it's so subjective: Finalists: Milviz Baron Qualitywings BAe 146/RJ Coolsky DC9 PMDG NGX A2A Cub (which I think just squeezes in the last five years) And the winner is: Coolsky's DC9. It got off to a rocky start, hasn't had anywhere near the number of liveries it should have, but what a plane... There are another five that could easily have been short listed. Mike

Yup, what Craig said.

Folks Pacific Islands Simulation are having a sale until the 31st of Dec. This is direct from PacSim, not the recent JF one. Some great airports here. PNG is highly recommended for bush types. Mike

If you can only have one, the Cherokee. But both have their place. I prefer the character of the Cherokee. Mike

What Bert said, plus ASN if you can make it fit. Mike

You mean Orbx kmz files? Kind souls have already made them for most (all?) regions. Just google Orbx and kmz. They should pop out. Mike
