  1. Tom I've been using x-plane exclusively since 2005. I have 300+ hours in level D sims (md80, 767, a320, but mostly 737) Expensive hobby, but hey ;) . . Have about 40+ RL hrs in 172 and PA 31-350. I have many ATPL friends who also loves desktop based sims and for most of them, including myself, MS FSX has never been a real alternative. Sure, PMDG NGX is by far the most realistic procedural trainer available, but the cartoonish look, jerky fps and overall low fidelity flight-model of MSFS kills the illusion during moments of hand flying. X-plane has much greater potential, but is greatly lacking in the realistic airliner dep. I am an X-plane patriot, but there is honestly not 1 airliner available today that behaves within a 10% m.o.e. of the real thing. The xpfw 757 being the best, by far. I have tweaked most of my a/c in plane-maker to get them closer and I'd highly recommend others to do the same. COG, ROG, Control Geom, Manual Gear def, and damp. etc. My question to you: There is one thing I cannot tweak, and it's been bugging me for years. The radio-alt call-outs (50, 40 etc) comes about 20 ft too soon (high) 50 is called at 70, 10 is called at 30, etc. This seems to be a general flaw for all models. Any chance you guys could have a look at this? Thank you for all your hard work! / K p.s. If anyone is interested in model-tweaks that brings most of your airliners closer to "the real thing" please let me know and I'll start another thread.
