I agree! Its becoming increasingly popular with all 737s around Europe and North America. I know it saves on fuel burns etc, but id be satisfied with a pure visual addition regardless. In the mean time ill be patiently waiting... Cheers,

NL2000 has photo real coverage of all of The Netherlands. All this is FREEWARE by the way. Also if you scroll down far enough you will get to the english speaking forums.

I wish PMDG would consider adding the scimitar winglet as an option (purely visual). Nice pics though, ive been doing a couple flights with Sunwing also. Just make sure to start flying around Europe when the winter season in Canada ends haha!

FS 98 on my fathers laptop flying out of Meigs when i was very young. Now I am a real life pilot and i feel FS and in turn the countless of hours i spent taking off Meigs and flying to Midway and Ohare, helped me fuel my passion for aviation. Ahhh, memories indeed!

NL2000, is a complete freeware scenery of ALL of the Netherlands. Includes airports too.

I think NL2000 is one of the most under appreciated freeware sceneries of FSX. They did an excellent job, nice pictures!

Very excited, and Orbx is making their 100th airport, Parry Sound! Finally some lovin for Ontario!

Haha I work for a company that flies a Merlin.... Id have to get permission by my chief pilot if Im able to share our companies AFM/Perf charts etc, but if you ever decide to pursue this just give me a PM.

Have you guys considered a Metro II/III? Your Garret engine modelling is great. Razbams efforts fell short in my opinion (especially in the power plant department). I'd love to see one from you guys!

When i was in college, our teacher was an Air Canada pilot. He let us fly the Embrear 190 Level D sim that AC uses to train their pilots on. It was super fun. He let us Take Off outa YYZ then buzz the CN tower. He then gave us an engine fire emergency and walked us through that aswell. Finishing off with an ILS back into CYYZ. I flew it all manual, no auto throttles and did a decent job (i was happy with it). Hope you have a blast, it is definitely a cool experience.

I hear ya! I was kinda hoping orbx would just make their way East over Continental North America. They seem to be randomly making FTX regions now with Norway just being released. And they seem to be going away from FTX regions with the Europe open LC product line.

Very excited! YYZ has been neglected for year and there is no one better to make it than Flytampa. Orbx should make a FTX region for southern ontario spanning from Kingston to Windsor up north to Parry Sound area. That would be unreal. Flying around Ontario offers a vast amount of scenery from the flat fields around windsor to the escarpment by burlington and the many lakes and beautiful scenery in the Muskokas and Tobermory area. Yep! Looking forward to this release!

With the money some people spend on this hobby, they could have almost bought themselves a Private Pilots License!

My top add-on aircraft would be the following: PMDG NGX- worlds most popular commercial airliner finally modelled to top notch standards A2A C172- Although i have a little less than 200 hrs on the S and N model in RL, A2A captures the C172 very well. Majestic Q400- i think every addon developer should be taking serious notes on how they made their flight dynamic, i think its the closest add-on that captures the real feeling of flying. I am eagerly waiting for their Dash 8-300, i jumpseat it regularly and would love to fly it in FSX. Aerosoft Twin Otter- I used this to help get myself familiar with system/cockpit procedures when i was training on it in RL. Very well done aside from the ground friction bug. Flight1 Kingair 200 - Best kingair done to date, i just wish they made a non G1000 version (i havent checked out Milvis's B350, but looks promising) Flysimware C441- Now i havent purchased this aircraft but from the videos ive seen these guys modelled a Garret engine perfectly, i just wish they would step up their textures a bit more. To each their own! Cheers,

Id like to see just a visual update also. Ive been seeing them quite a bit around Toronto, with Sunwing and Westjet flying them now. Would love to see them on the NGX.
