Really beautiful aircraft. Just tuned in on time to see the fly-by and the landing. I really think the 787 and the A350 are the best looking aircraft ever. Such clean and smooth lines on each and very nice proportions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Sounds great! Can't wait for the A318-319 package. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I have the AXE and have been flying it quite happily without any major troubles. It a little disappointing how long they have taken over fixing it and coming up with SP1, but of course if it delivers all will be forgiven. I don't have the BBS bus so can't comment on the product, but personally I would be worried that they have already according to their own statements ran out of money and had to release the A330 to get more capital. That money will run out soon enough as well and the question is what next? How many incomplete products will they have before they finally complete one and to what level. I wish all the best for BBS but the accountant in me is wondering if they will last long enough to complete anything.

Yes, promising so far but we still have to see how it translates to the European market. I wouldn't be too surprised to see it at the same pound/euro price as it is in dollars despite the difference in value. Fingers crossed. Sorry, I meant buying through their European suppliers of course rather than ordering from the US direct.

I had a look around as well but doesn't seem that price has been announced. The 15% discount was for old items only. If the price is reasonable this could end up being my first yoke!

I'm really looking forwards to the GoFlight yoke. It looks very promising being made of good materials and having lots of buttons which many of the other yokes are missing. It also helps that GoFlight is readily available in Europe unlike the PFC ones. <br /><br />If the final product will turn out as good as it looks and the price is not crazy I might finally move from my joystick to a yoke. <br /><br />Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Great pictures! Thanks for the update. Can't wait to start doing those 777 routes!<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Difficult to say what the FTX Global will look like with say default landclass in UK, but I'm sure there will be a benefit from having the England scenery. Global will only have generic textures shared for the whole world, while the Enland area will have more carefully selected textures, mesh, landclass and manually placed autogen and other objects. And while the extended FTX Global promises improvements to landclass, airports etc, I doubt they will do that for areas already covered by the Orb-X regions such as Enland. Incidentally, if it is London City airport you want, I would stick with UK2000 rather than either OrbX or Aerosoft versions, although of course you do get the whole city with Aerosoft which is nice but hard for your frame rate.

Those are very different products and do completely different things. The Aerosoft VFR London will give a very detailed London but the area only covers pretty much the city centre. It is also a little out of date as the product is a few years old, so don't expect Olympic parks or the Shard in London, though I think there are some user made objects at least for the shard. Orb-X England on the other hand covers the whole of the mainland England. There are many opinions on the product, but my view of it is that it gives quite a nice likeness to make England feel like England, but it is not completely accurate in that you could find all the land marks etc that you might want. In my opinion London is one of the weaker points of the product and it really shines when you take off from Gatwick for example and see the green fields and countryside below you. Hope this helps a little!

Radar contact recognises and "talks" to UT2 traffic, but as far as I know, it doesn't control it in any way. It does say things like "follow the 747" etc, but it doesn't tell you or the other plane to ever give way. Same in the air, it warns you of the traffic but doesn't ask either to take action. You will also need to use AI Smooth to keep the traffic out of your way during approach. Also, remember to check out the way to get RC to use the correct call signs for UT traffic. There are some old threads in these forums that you should check out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

If you are loading the plane at the runway ready to go, then Ultimate Traffic 2 is the likely cause. However, the pause of loading traffic usually happens only a few seconds after loading the flight, so if you have already taxied to the runway, then it is unlikely to be the cause and something else will be to blame.

I don't think it will affect load times much. I have my FSX on a SSD as well and I installed FS Global Ultimate Europe and Africa, taking the option to install to another normal drive to save space. I haven't noticed any longer loading times even with the much slower drive.

Yes, not sure if they are very good value for Europe or the US, but they work great for less well covered areas like Africa and Asia. They get rid of much of the "desert" left by MS in those places. Can't wait to cover it with FTX Global and finally those places could become really interesting to fly.

Just wondering if you were running in full screen or windowed mode? I have pretty much exactly the same addons (OrbX, UTX, 4096 clouds and AS2012)but with UT2 at 70% traffic and LOD 6.5. Running in windowed mode I have never ran out of memory so far and I also mainly fly between UK2000 EGLL and EGKK to Aerosoft, FSDT and Fly Tampa airports. There are a lot of suggestions for FSX memory leak problems in full screen from past years and I am wondering if these could be contributing to the problems. I use windowed mode as I have a second screen running Aivlasoft EFB at the same time, but the more I see people having these problems the more it makes me wonder what is so different between their systems and mine.

+1 for the ATC. Particularly if it could actually control ai both in air and ground so we could get realistic spacing and ground movements. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
