Could a store be soon?

From what I've read the PC12 is actually a safer plane in real life. :-)

OK, today I decided to purchase the Chieftain and in Fairness to this great developer I feel compelled to testify that my purchase and download experience was nothing short of excellent. I didn't set up an account login but purchased as a guest, got my download instantly. After easy installation, I started xplane12, activated with no trouble and away I go. If there is any hesitancy about other buyers having issues all I can say is IMHO Iceman is pretty cool. Now I have some studying to do.

LOL. Avsim expands my vocabulary.

Glad you’re back simming @jcomm I enjoy reading your learned post.

I know who holds the worlds in balance and my trust is in Him. No @Fielder , it’s not the Cat god😂

Well, he got his 15 seconds of world fame.

I haven’t experienced what you guys have but I just want to say my heart is warmed by every post. I’m 74 and we just learned our 50 year old son in law has pancreatic cancer. They have 13 year old twins, a boy and girl and the boy is on the autistic spectrum. Last week we had to see our daughter crying like a little girl saying I don’t know how to handle this or if I can. He’s a successful builder, strong, good mental and moral fiber and has never had any destructive vices other than soft drinks. Brakes our hearts thinking about what’s ahead for our daughter and grand kids. All any of us can do is take each day as it comes. “Into every life must come some trouble, when we worry we make it double”.

Ah, Y2K revisited. Why couldn't they just pull the plug? I mean shut off the juce. It worked on HAL.

Thank you.

But do you have to ask for your download then wait for a reply? I like the pay, and play today concept. Seems the case with all other pay-ware developers. Even freeware for that matter.

Happy Labor Day gang! XPlane has magnificently pulled me more into learning GA flying because of the flight dynamics realism along with so many other joyful elements. Many of these birds are more complex and challenging not to mention versatile and fun then any tubular jet liner. Now my dilemma. From a recent thread here I learned of Jetstream FS and have my eyes on the Chieftain and or Seneca II. What constrains me is reading here and elsewhere that after placing there order customers have to contact the developer and send sometimes more than one request for their product. I really don't like the idea of waiting days after paying, jumping through hoops and having to stand on my head and whistle Dixie with a mouth full of soda crackers to get what I paid for. Has anyone else had experience with https://www.jetstreamfs.com/ that they would care to share? Those aircraft look really nice and I would like to have one or two in my hanger but not with that much aggravation. Goes to show how powerful word of mouth referral positive or negative can be. .

So, I wonder what they updated. I saw the announcement on the FF forum but no details given about the update.

This is what I am quite content using. https://store.x-plane.org/X-Camera_p_889.html

Sweet.

Exactly what I’m trying to find out.

Can any one tell me if the "original base enhancement" in XP Map Enhancement is really an improvement over the default terrain that comes with XP12? It calls itself an enhancement but is it really a better default scenery. Quite a large download so I thought I would seek advice before I do. Thoughts/opinions? I noticed SIM WORLD pro makes the non ortho scenery look pretty decent. I might fly with that a while.

LOL if I can do it anyone can. When you download the Zipo and Level UP 737NGs you’ll think you’ve committed larceny to get such a high fidelity aircraft for free. I’m sure some will disagree but IMHO they compare favorably to the expensive ones in P3D. https://x-plane.to/file/309/zibo-mod-b737-800x/1000 https://forum.thresholdx.net/files/file/4108-737ng-series-for-x-plane-12/ Actually you can download the Level Up free in ORBX direct.

I have now. Thanks.

With ortho products like map enhancement and sim heaven, both freeware or an inexpensive pro version XPlane 12 looks very good. Its binding system is very intuitive and easy to set up. So many things that don’t require a utility addon like the camera system and even push back is free. Lighting system is great and default airports are so good I feel no need to purchase an endless stable of addon airports. I just started using XP12 last fall and could go on singing the praises but this is the P3D forum and I don’t mean to be impolite so I’ll add my P3DV5 stays installed and still looks vibrant due to expensive addons collected over a decade. Too much to walk away from. I don’t see a resurgence in the hobby market by LM. Personally I’m too old to start over if there was one. That’s a big thing about XP12 is it comes with so many features you don’t have to buy addons for.

Only if it would be impressive enough to draw the primary aircraft developers back. Otherwise I think it would be a non factor.

I believe there is a first officer plug in for the Zipo. Not sure about LU. Any one use her? Always appreciated the FS2 Crew in P3D days. Not crazy about having a cartoonish avatar sitting next to me. To me that’s more immersion busting than an empty seat. Nice to have my voice commands reacted to though.

LOL, do you get these emails from hot chicks who claim they saw you around town and want you to call them or just hit the accompanying link for a no strings attached hook up. Sure girlie. A bald over weight guy in his mid seventies. Perfectly believable.
