:lol: Thanks :lol: I will need to do better though, I have only have one reply, from admin! :(

I am sorry to say I haven't read all the posts here, but it WAS the only plane in my hanger to cause OOM a while ago! I have a mid range pooter, well it was a top range a few years ago, but things change! Just purchased the Majestic Q-400, does a lot more at good frame rates, as fast (believe it or not), has the terrain, radar and TCAS .. and much more than the F1!

Oh wow! Must be the best video I have seen to date! Absolutely fantastic! :lol: Coming out of the hanger, over the falls and back into the hanger!! I must say the 337 looks fantastic here. There is more to it than the 210 but I can do more with the 210! Fly higher and faster when I need to go over the mountains or fly IFR. On the other hand that is a fun looking bird! I have a few r/l hours on both types in the past and admit that perhaps the 337 is better detailed, so maybe I am wrong .... or was it the fantastic video with the music of one of my favourite groups???

Video seems to be blocked in UK :huh: I find Carenado a little mixed, but my favourite to date is the C-210!

Hi just posting a few random shots to see if I am capable in this the simplest of tasks! :lol:

Which probably sums up your attitude!Look, I fully admit to being a computer user NOT an expert or a genius developer like yourself ... but it would have been nice to have turned the key and gone, as with 99% of the other products I have tried!The Mustang is an excellent and very accurate product but for a non-techy like myself , I honestly found it easier and quicker to prep and brief for a 747 trans-oceanic in real life than to set up my computer to incorperate all the tweaks needed to make the Mustang work.All I suggested was a 'lite' version to enable IFR flight through a busy weather and traffic enviroment without dragging frame rate hungry eye candy behind me. The cockpit is the most important place for me to be and yours with the Garmin 1,000 is brilliant!As I said, many other developers have made it easier for non-computer minded idiots such as myself!

I went the other way around! Purchased the F1 Mustang, got in a serious pickle with it with regard to crashing (the computer not the aircraft), followed the numerous modifications required to make this product work .. then bought the Realair Duke!The Duke purchase was about 6 weeks a go and I just noticed it has an engine Hobbs meter and was shocked to see that I have already flown 80 hours in it! Oh dear, I am meant to be running a business!!The real world Duke is nearly as good as the Realair one... but not quite! Totally brilliant, I wish Realair would try a business jet next!I fly real world weather on highest detail setting and will not compromise on that, which presented me with all sorts of problems flying in bad weather in busy traffic areas with the F1 Mustang. I use Ultimate traffic 2 but without autogen (which in my opinion is un-realistic anyway), I am never quite sure if I am going to emerge from the bottom of the cloud without a computer crash ... even now when I have a beautifully tuned FSX config I still worry!Then I discovered the Duke!I suggested to F1 on the 'secret squirrel' customer only forum that perhaps they should have made a version without the opening drawers full of labeled alcahol and drunk looking pilot leaning on the wing plus all the other frame heavy eye candy.... but was told that they were not prepared to 'dumb down' the product. Shame, because it rather dumbs down the whole FSX experiance when you have to move all the sliders port to enable your computer to cope! I apparently have a near top of the range computer too!Being a pilot not a computer expert this may sound daft but surely during the development of the product it is a simple thing to develop the very good cockpit and excellent rendition of the Garmin 1,000 then press save to create a light verson. From there they can continue onward for those who enjoy the eye candy!Others have done it, Realair to a certain extent on the Duke (though it doesn't seem to need it) and the MAM B25 (with three versions) come to mind but there are lots more.In the meantime I will certainly look further at the Eaglesoft Citation.May I reccomend a very good and very free weather program from fs.open.com. With the reduced visibility setting you can reduce cloud draw considerably and it is amazing how realistic the weather is! In my experiance in real flying it is very rare indeed to encounter that unlimited visibility effect you seem to get with the FSX weather engine.Sorry if I have repeated things here that have already been covered, I admit to have only surfed the forum briefly, I am too lazy to post more often! :(

This is excellent.You have improved my FSX experiance 20 fold, thank-you.As someone else suggested, please add a donate box. This is too good to be free!My ILS approaches now feel real, like the ones I flew in real life!

Hmmm not quite sure what you mean about low speed aileron response and the sideslip seems pretty accurate to me too, Addictive have got it about right in my opinion. I disagree on your comment regarding brakes too.My Pitts was always running away with me on the ground. I always had to taxi on the brakes .. themselves being pretty lousey.I would go further actually. The flight model is amazingly accurate. Just my opinion of course!I concede that my experiance on the Pitts was no more than 100-120 hrs total as it was not my main plane (I only had a part share in it) ... and that was short lived as the main shareholder wrote himself off with it strapped on his back ... but this simulation brings it back to life and for it to be able to do that it must be pretty brilliant.Errr not all my memories were comfortable either, the first 5-10 or so hours were 'interesting' to say the least ... a bit like the simulation! :( Could it be that the simulation varies from computer to computer depending what graphic card or joystick you are using perhaps? It would also be quite true to say that no two Pitts were ever the same of course!

LOL.... the sound is so-so on the real one too! :( Having had the pleasure of flying both, it is my humble opinion that the Addictive Pitts is the most accurate representation of any aircraft model ever produced for MS flight simulator let alone FSX. The frame rate amazes me for such an accurately detailed work of art ... it really flies like the real one!Fantastic achievement Addictive .... more soon please! :(
