I believe you can download it from the following link: http://www.mirage4fs.com/scenery_carriers.html Let me know if that's the one :]

FSX @ War Carrier and Convoy Planner is now available! Download it from here: http://www.fsxwar.com/?lang=en I found out about it over at SimBites: http://simbites.com/comments/12 I've been waiting forever for some news on FSX @ War. I guess they're releasing each module individually. I'm really excited about this. I can't tell you how many times I've been flying around in FSX or P3D and though how awesome it would be to have an excellent combat experience. Anyone else excited?

Thanks for making me laugh (the "Alien" thing makes sense to me now). Let it be known that I too fly FSX and have been flying MS Flight Sim since version 4.0. I own ORBX, multiple PMDG aircraft (flown hundreds of hours in them over the years), UT, FEX, REX, and use a host of other freeware and payware addons. I just haven't been flying FSX recently with X-Plane 10 being my current preference.But let's face it... There are three foreseeable options in the near future of civil-based flight simulation. FSX developers and consumers either stick with FSX (which isn't that bad although it's definitely showing its age, hasn't had any core development in three years, getting a little stale IMHO, and is the end of the line for MSFS franchise), they migrate to P3D (which offers nothing over FSX except a performance increase which is becoming moot with Sandy Bridge CPU architecture and Nvidia 600 series video cards... I currently get about eighty FPS in FSX with ORBX/PMDG on a 4.8 GHz overclocked 2600K and 580 GTX), or they move to X-Plane 10 (which is something different, truly enjoyable to fly, in major development for almost two decades, always implementing new scenery and graphics technology, has a healthy 3rd party developer base, and has a talented core team of flight simulation purists).So, I'm promoting X-Plane 10 because I want to see its development and consumer base grow so that we're not stuck with the options of FSX and its derivatives forever.

Given the recent MS Flight debacle, I don't think it'll be too long for some great talent to make an ORBX quality scenery add on for X-Plane 10. It'll be interesting to see how successful the product is when it does happen. I'll be buying it for sure and so will many others I suspect since everyone is ready for something new. It also looks like PMDG is giving X-Plane 10 a good shot. I have to say that I'm betting on X-Plane 10 over P3D :]

First, as one guy said above, people will go where their 3rd party developers go. If ORBX and PMDG (and all other FSX developers) released a new product for X-Plane 10, that was not already in FSX and exclusive for X-Plane 10, they would have great sales. FSX users will migrate to X-Plane 10 just to use the new products and fly in a simulator that's still under major development.Second, I really didn't like X-Plane 10 when I first played the demo but now it's all I fly. How did that happen? I tweaked the graphics to an awesome quality to FPS ratio, found great freeware aircraft that I enjoy flying, turned the wind off so that the plane stopped bobbing around unrealistically, and most importantly did my first cross country flight in the demo with the 10 minute time limit removed.That cross country flight was so rewarding as I really enjoyed the instruments, 3D virtual cockpit, plausible auto-gen, weather/atmospheric effects, terrain mesh and shadowing, flight model, and rewarding feeling of arriving at my destination airport. The approaches and landings in X-Plane just have this very realistic feel to them if you're flying a well built 3rd party freeware aircraft. I bought the full version and have been flying all around the western United States in my freeware Beechcraft Baron. I install airport scenery at every destination airport I fly into on my cross country flights. If a destination airport hasn't been modeled for X-Plane yet, I just download the airport for FSX and convert it to X-Plane on my own (takes about 30 seconds to convert an airport).I really hope that FSX developers and users will continue to give X-Plane 10 a chance so that we can gracefully move on to a brighter future for flight simulators.
