Mmm, I don't think we should all be so quick to jump on Rockcliffe ....... let me say, I LOVE FlyTampa St Maarten complete, and have flew many countless hours there, between TNCM and TFFJ and SABA .... I never get bored with these flights! But, part of my enjoyment is the fact that (i) I've been to St Maarten in real life (but not TFFJ or SABA), and (ii) I've seen all the TFFJ landing vids and the layout & dimensions of the FlyTampa TFFJ is just perfect...... .....but >> the enjoyment I get from it is from these above aspects more than texturing and object quality. Now I do think the actual TNCM airport is exquisite and as good as any FlyTampa release, but if you take off and take a good look around the island of St Maarten itself, there is some definite blurriness, and some of the texturing ain't up to the latest releases (especially Orbx etc). I put that mainly down to it being a far from 'current' addon; I think it was released in 2008, so we can't expect 2012 quality in every regard. But it's still my overall favourite ever scenery product for FSX ............ however if I was buying into it, today, and didn't have an emotional link to the area, I'm not sure I'd be so rose tinted to be honest.

My PMDG frame rate scale in FSX looks like this :- Higher Frame Rate Performance <--- MD-11 ---- JS41 ---- NGX---- 747X --------> Lower Frame Rate Performance but there's not much in it between the JS41 and the NGX for me. JS41 def a bit lighter though.

+1

The three forthcoming topics mentioned in the presentation were the 777, 747 2.0, and the DC-6, so I would not expect to see the Dash 8 for some time yet. I certainly don't personally expect to see it this year.

There is a CONFIG thing that you get with the Duke, that you need to launch (should be on your desktop after installation), where you can change it from brake steering, to nosewheel steering.

Yeah yeah! ... that's what I'm talking about B) ..... didn't know that was in development. Very nice! Stick with the high quality sounds you used in the 310R mind ya PS... I hereby pass copyright of the term 'GenViz' for you to use for this range :lol:

I get it sometimes, but not sure 100% on the cause. I used to get this really badly in the Flight 1 Pilatus PC-12. Try this; As you introduce fuel and the engine lights, hold down the F1 key (it's the default key for setting thrust to idle)... see if that stops you lunging forward!

For your given scenario above, I would set your HEADING to the same as the departure runway's ....... then take off, fly straight ahead, and engage the AP into HEADING mode (following the runway heading). You can then turn your Heading knob left to steer the aircraft towards the magenta GPS course. When you intercept that, you can engage NAV mode (coupled to GPS). All this assumes you're not using FSX ATC, as otherwise they will give you the headings to intercept your NAV course. The pink "Borders" in your 2nd screenshot above, are ATC regions. The dotted circle one related to an airport, and the larger lines relate to "Centre" ATC functions. ...broadly speaking.....

It doesn't have a prop/condition lever The SR22 uses a "combined power lever" that manages both manifold pressure and RPM, as a 'power' component. But I take your point that without documentation, as a newcomer to the type you maybe wouldn't know that. Aside, it's an excellent add-on, one of Eaglesoft's best. It is getting old now (released in 2007 I think) but I still fly it, as it has no real competition yet. (Carenado are releasing a SR22 soon).

I must admit I was initially unimpressed with the new layout ....... but after a few days. I've found it loads faster and is easier to navigate. So my initial pondering thumb, becomes an unambiguous; thumbs up!

Ah! Shame it's not a A300-600 but still nice that we are getting a FMC for the B4. B)

Exactly! ......... can't wait for the proper FMS-armed model. But this 'pimp' is working great in the meantime. Cool! .... A -600 will be nice, with newer Avionics to enjoy B) I'd be happy to, but I'm not sure what I'd share? - I just used FS Panel Studio to make all the changes. Took less than 5 mins. But I'll take a look at the ISG site whe I get a min, and happy to share the panel.cfg there, if that's how it's done. B)

I think you should change your name to GenViz ..... :lol: I, like a lot of simmers, have zero interest in military aviation, but I really enjoy and value your work and the quality of your products. I hope you will continue on the back of the 732 and KA 350i and create more general and commercial aviation add-ons. B)

Excellent point. I couldn't agree more! :lol:

Good. I welcome anything from Milviz; lovely attention to detail, especially as they're one of the minority of devs who realize how much audio matters in the quest for "in the cockpit" fidelity. B).
