Nice enough livery, but why bother? In a year or so, they'll probably become part of USAirways or Southwest or JetBlue, like all the rest. Maybe someone could paint one up for FS, that way we could at least play with it for awhile. Cheers..

I think sometimes, the more we have, the less we enjoy it. Let's see, what should we do this weekend, take the yacht out, or maybe fly up in the Lear to see the kids ... or take the Maserati out to the track and see what it will do? Wanna take the Wanderlodge out to the boonies and 'camp'? Decisions, decisions.Yeah, the newer sims are getting so realistic, it's more like work. I bailed out a while back and stuck with FS2002. It still looks good, runs smooth and 95% of my addons were free. I truly don't know how many aircraft I have, but some of them go back to Project Freeware and still work just fine. I did waste $20 on FS2004, only to find that my computer can't keep up with it, and I'm just not going to keep tweaking it to find that I probably will never be satisified with it.Friends have asked, 'Do you think you could really fly one?' Uhh, no.. this is a computer toy. If I was the only one left with any knowledge of flight on a doomed airliner, they would have to haul me kicking and screaming into the cockpit, and my first announcement would be, 'Assume the crash position, put your head between your knees and kiss your butts goodbye!'. Then, I would give it my best shot.I still really enjoy the Flightsim hobby and the community has generally been top notch. When I visit AVSIM now, there is less for me to download, but it's o.k., every now and then I still find something I can use to improve the sim or add to my fleet. I'm 66, retired, and not likely to keep buying new computers to keep up with the toys. I use WindowsXP and will until it's no longer supported, and then some.It's all good folks, enjoy what you got...Cheers,Jetfan
