I'd still prefer a VC10! But I'll take an older Boeing if that's all they offer :)

Thanks for the info!

Would someone please be kind enough to point me at a version number of Inspector that has the required features ? I've downloaded 3 versions so far, and none have had the options to make the necessary changes. Either that, or I'm on a role regarding "stupid human tricks" !

I noticed a couple of hours ago somebody asked JF on their forum about making a 748, and they basically said it probably wouldn't sell. I left a reply saying their last payware 748 (the Aeroplane Heaven version for FSX) probably didn't sell because the freeware version was superior... I doubt they'll change their minds regardless... I was self loading cargo on an Air Canada Viscount back in the day. As a kid I remember it being a great ride, certainly better than being shaken to bits in their DC-9's a few years later!

Very true... I remember the first time I tried flying Rick Piper's HS748 back in FS9. After much frustration I finally learned how to do it properly! Another thing missing from these models is a proper Dart sound, that mind numbing, ear splitting screech those engines were famous for. Probably MS wanting to avoid law suits for permanent ear damage! 🤪 And why don't we have any other Dart users ? Why no Viscount, 748, Vanguards, etc. Or how about an Argosy? Ah, the good old days of CBFSIM... I miss those planes!

Hi, I prefer the NAMC, but only because I look at it as a "suped up" HS748. They're both good at what they do, but aren't "study level" by any stretch of the imagination. (I.E. no real engine trimming etc.). I honestly can't say one is modelled better than the other - they're both at about the same level of quality, performance, appearance, etc. If you can only buy one, just pick whichever floats your boat the most. Or wait until they're on sale and get both for cheap, that's what I did!

You change the FL on the perf page - I ran into that problem last week :)

I just landed after a 90 minute flight, and had no trouble at all maintaining speed on approach, but I'd disconnected the AP and AT. Was he using the automatics on final ? Where I had trouble - the a/c couldn't even think about reaching the cruise altitude Simbrief had planned - and she tried really hard to drive herself into a stall. Was using the F100 with 90 odd passengers onboard. We were much happier around FL260. I'd suspect that says more about the Simbrief perf calculations than the a/c itself. So it was a more sporty flight than I'd expected, but overall I really enjoyed it. And if there are flight model issues, I'm certain, based upon their past experience, JF will address it quickly. I'm a very happy customer!

With the heatwave going on there, they're probably worried about melting their server... :)

I'm fine with the Inibuilds A350, but I'd forgotten the FBW A380. That performed even worse for me. So the LVFR is an improvement (of sorts), at least until the Inibuilds comes out.

I've got all the heavies from PMDG, INIBUILDS, Aerosoft, etc. This is the only model I've ever used that gives constant VRAM warnings. No problems performance-wise, but having that bubble popping up every time I change views became so annoying I just killed the flight. And yes - I know I can lower my settings, but don't see the point for just one plane.

Lol! I literally just landed at the default LXGB and said to myself "hey, that looks pretty good"! It was dusk - so the lighting wasn't that great. Now I'm wondering if I got the wrong impression...

I've flown it around the world twice already - and never had a problem that wasn't my fault. Performance has been fine on my machine (9800X3D/RTX5080/32GB). I use the automated flight engineer - and he's done his job perfectly for me. Only issue - I noticed on Simbrief import it loads all cargo into the aft cargo bay which upsets the CG - but I just change it manually. It's at least as good as the old Just Flight Professional version, and looks a whole lot better too.

Nope, no FFB yoke here, just the Thrustmaster Boeing yoke and Honeycomb Bravo throttle. But thanks for trying to find a solution for me! Another issue I hadn't mentioned was that the framerate dropped significantly as soon as I hit LNAV; I wasn't able to determine if that was the CSS 737 or SU5 doing it's usual thing. There's lots to love about the model - hand flying was excellent. Hopefully future updates will tame it.

What a lovely surprise. Instant purchase. Very happy to see this available. I have the old FS2020 model, and I really enjoy it, but this will most certainly replace it.
