Hi folks i live in Cape Town South Africa, and i downloaded the free fligth, with the slow internet speed it took 12.5 hours. flew for a while than called my 12 year old grandson he did for 15 minute told me it was boring it is not his cup of tea or coffee.ha ha he went back to my FSX and loves flying the big A380 over the Himalayas and do a visual landing in Nepal i have global 10 so the graphics are excellent using a GLX 450 Nvidia.how anybody can compare this type of flying to that new toy flight is beyond me. maybe if you live in the first world countries and have top speed uncapped internet and fly with some friends it might be a bit of fun but it has nothing for an person like me who want to pretend he fly’s in a real plane with all the instruments, and following the vectors from ATC.and taxi to parking amongst dozens of planes who are also coming and going, I know it is not real but a hell of a lot closer to real than flying that toy over a bit of bush in Hawaii. So for me it is a nonstarter. Have a nice day folks. Joseph

first of all in my part of the world the internet download time is very very slow,unless you buy the faster speed and that cost a lot of money.is ok for bussiness tax deductable but not for tom dick or harry.took 12.5 hours to download looked at it flew a bit than told my grandson i got another game for him he is 12 years old he did not like it, said it was to childish oi oi oi and that was coming from a 12 year old .so deleted the thing and just carry on with my 2004 version and my FSX de luxe .thinking of spending my money on Xplane 10, that seems to be a real simulator game but so far nothing in general has come close overall to FSX .joseph

Ok thanks for the info.i have an other problem i like to post were can i do that.joseph

why not? if i dont have any use anymore for what i posted i should be able to delete it, seems strange that it is not posseble to get rid of it. it looks like i had a lot of folks looking at what i posted but aparently nobody can help me joseph

I want to delete my 2post but cannot find how or were to do that. can anybody tell me how to do that.thanks Joseph theeboom

I have corresponded with wilco and they asked me to send a desktop shot of my instrument panel. But following their advice it did not help, my problem is as follows: I bought the FX A380 over a year ago. A problem developed so I bought it again from wilco and reinstalled, as I thought the problem would have been fixed in the new release. However it turned out to be the same, so paid twice for the same product and the same problem. My problem is only with the FX version, the 2004 one works perfectly. But on the FX one, both my altitude and my vertical indicators do not light up and it is only by clicking with the right mouse button that I get a response from the altitude switch. Wilco told me something about that I was not using the correct procedure, however my son who lives in Melbourne was a pilot for many years and he bought the same item in Australia and has the same problems. It was him who told me to right click on the unlit altitude switch to get it to respond. The next problem is that I cannot regulate my ascent or descent, as that switch also never comes on. As a result my angle of attack is too steep, it goes up to 56 instead of the normal 18 and I stall as my airspeed just goes down. I have to manually put the nose down to keep my airspeed from going off the board, and many times on the final vector the altitude switch does not respond at all and the plane just over-flies the airport. I have written about my problem many times on some other forums but have never had anybody give me any advice as to how to fix this, or what I am not doing correctly. I did ask a gentleman at wilco why the 2004 version works perfectly but not the FX version, he said the FX version was more complicated, I would have thought in that case first fix the bugs THEN release it. I would very much appreciate some help with the above. I also bought the A380 from Perfect flight that does not have an FMC but i installed the JSG FMC and that works fine, even if it is a very simple one, but at least it works. The other problem is the sound of the engines: no matter if I even tick off the sound of the engines and/or turn my volume down, they are still overpowering the ATC sound (which I have on full). Surely the flight-deck is way forward and the engines noise goes backwards! I wonder if anybody else has the above problems. Thank you, Joseph Theeboom.
