Thx a lot guys for the excellent advice, you have steered me away from a mistake.

very interesting, how does SPAD.neXt compare with PETE DOWSON - FSUIPC4?

Running a new install of Win7 x64 and FSXSE. Never really happy with default Saitek drivers.

Only on their website. Just stumbled on it, no other info https://www.irissimulations.com.au/ols/index.php?main_page=specials&page=1

How do these ppl stay in business selling products that don't work and don't support the addons they advertise as supported? Almost just brought a Titan, until I remembered, with Carenado/Alebeo always check them out. :( - really like the 'idea' of this aircraft.

I'm one who is being sorely tempted by GTN integration. Looking at the one vid and the screen shots I was a bit unhappy with the smooth plastic look of the panel. But looking on youtube at some real Trinidads, they too seemed to have a similar look. Need to compare a bit, but maybe the JF console graphics are an honest replication of the real Trinidad's using a plastic console?

https://www.justflight.com/product/tb10-tobago-and-tb20-trinidad they look sweet and I'm struggling with resisting the call to add them to my hanger. F1 GTN 650 integration is standard and they have said they are investigating getting a GTN 750 in also, maybe.

enjoyed the story and the pictures

Exactly what I was looking for. Personally would probably clip the swastika so it was an X, otherwise my father, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, would rise from his grave and come kick my &@($*. Thanks for the info.

A few years ago, 7 highly accurate clones of the Me-262 were built; they were blue printed from a total restoration of a real one for a museum. Could one of them be legally flown with the original markings in the US, with I assume an FAA tail number? I've seen aircraft with original marking flying at airshows, but thought that might be differently classed than a private aircraft.

During the two day sale I got the B377 + COTS for $25 and it is an interesting aircraft at a truly bargain price - with the COTS addon it seems an experience years ahead of the competition. Waiting for the Connie with excitement

Real Air is a bit of a puzzlement. They don't produce many aircraft, but my but their aircraft are wonderful and cutting edge. With the Dukes v2 and the Legacy v2 they may have reached a plateau and be ready to introduce a new aircraft.

Hmm, if I'm correct the 'demo' is an actual Garmin product which means it may not replicated the GTN performance requirements. Agree, GTN is basic, hugely wonderful. Check memory prices

Ref #3 - yes you did miss the Orbx May Sale, However, they in the past had had mid-year and end-of-year sales, you Nov-Dec might be a good time to check them out. And for FSXSE there is an addon HD Airport Graphics that seems nice, Steam Store ofc.

However, I must point out that I received the support which you speak of, after being ignored for a month on your support forum, only after mentioning the lack of support here at AvSim. Given your track record, I doubt anything would have ever been done had this issue not become public. Rather than the immediate obvious defensive 'damage control' method (denial, blame shifting, etc) of handling an embarrassment, the professional way to recover from this sort of situation with grace and credibility would be along the lines of: "I'm glad our debugged .MDL worked for you. I apologize for the long delay in responding to your support request and we are looking into how to improve our support responsiveness. Please let us know if we can be of assistance in the future." I'm done with this mess. Best Regards

Just checked and the file you sent me works. As far as I can tell it produces the same level of backlight as my addition of VC Brightness =10 to the F1GTN.ini file. Does it address any other areas I should know of? Regardless, the Liberty XL2 is a fine basic, but modern, bird with a variety of navigation instruments available for training in different navigation methods. I particularly like the large well placed gauges and the FADEC engine information. It also has one of the best sets of documents of any aircraft regardless of price. With the bug tweak, I'm happy to recommend this aircraft.

Funny you failed to mention that my support request was unanswered in your support forum for a month until a public comment by me prompted a response. Then while my request for support was sitting in your support forum for a month, you told me you had not received it - I immediately checked, it was there. There were indeed a number of emails, but only after I mention here publicly that I had had an unanswered support request in your support forum for a month. The last communication on your support forum was on 10 June 2016 "Thanks to your questions we have identified a bug in the FSX version which is the proximate cause. We will have a solution up soon. " Nothing further was received until after I posted here today, "What are you refering too? I sent you a mdl to test and report back about. " I checked and you have my correct email address and I have just now checked, yet again, now that I have a date, and yes indeed you did send a file to me. I've been checking your support forum daily, didn't expect it where it went. I have tried very patiently to use your forums.I will be very curious to see how it compares to mine. I'm hoping for the best, your Liberty XL2 is a fine little bird. Seriously, there is something wrong with your support methodology and I suggest a thoughtful re-look. The only way I was able to get your attention was publicly here at AvSim. I had seriously thought after a month that ES might have closed down. Best wishes

Two years ago I purchased a Liberty XL2 from Eaglesoft because it was the first aircraft, as far as I could find, that implemented the marvelous then new Flight1 GTN 750/650 into the console rather then only functioning as a popup. Put a lot of hours on that little bird. This year after a hiatus from FSX and a nearly complete computer rebuild and a shift to FSXSE, I eagerly reloaded the Liberty GTN as the vehicle for refreshing my skills. However, now the GTN display was so dark I at first thought it wasn't present. A support request to F1 brought a response that it had to be something being done by the aircraft code. A support request to Eaglesoft on 7 May 2016 resulted in no response at all. Or rather no response until 5 June 2016 when I mention my non-support in a thread entitled "Shoutout to Eaglesoft". Given no response in a month, I was actually wondering if the firm had gone under, which was distressing as I was seriously considering purchasing their Cessna Citation X v2. I'll not go into the dance of excuses and hints they were about to solve the issue. The outcome six weeks later was no fix. I got poking around today and within an hour, I know silly me for expecting the developer to fix it, I had it fixed. Sooooo for anyone wanting to fly an Eaglesoft XL2 with the Flight1 GTN750 or 650: 1. Go to where your FSX is installed, go to SimObjects\Airplanes\Eaglesoft Liberty XL2 X\F1GTN.ini 2. Back up this file for safety 3. The file reads: [GTN750.1] Radios=0 Autopilot=1 Mouse=1 Link CRS=1 Auto CRS=1 Fuel=1 Sound=1 Invert Mouse Wheel=0 Active Mouse=1 CPU Core=0 Airplane=7 [GTN750.2] Radios=1 Autopilot=1 Mouse=1 Link CRS=1 Auto CRS=1 Fuel=1 Sound=0 Invert Mouse Wheel=0 Active Mouse=1 CPU Core=0 [GTN650.1] Radios=1 Autopilot=1 Mouse=1 Link CRS=1 Auto CRS=1 Fuel=1 Sound=1 Invert Mouse Wheel=1 Active Mouse=1 CPU Core=0 Airplane=0 [GTN650.2] Radios=1 Autopilot=1 Mouse=1 Link CRS=1 Auto CRS=1 Fuel=1 Sound=0 Invert Mouse Wheel=1 Active Mouse=1 CPU Core=0 You have the data for four GTNs here. Add as the last line for the GTNs you want to be able to actually see " VC Brightness=10 ". A " 1 " gives you a black screen and I've poked around up to "20". For example: [GTN750.1] Radios=0 Autopilot=1 Mouse=1 Link CRS=1 Auto CRS=1 Fuel=1 Sound=1 Invert Mouse Wheel=0 Active Mouse=1 CPU Core=0 Airplane=7 VC Brightness=10 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< the added line [GTN750.2] Now the combination of an Eaglesoft Liberty XL2 + F1's GTN 750 and/or 650 (you can mount two, one of each) now works. A very nice little basic, but modern, bird. Depending on which of the four models provided you can experiment with different navigation gauges. Quite highly recommended, I'll be flying it a lot.

About to buy a Flysimware Lear 35A, but not especially happy about the paints. Could a total novice never done this before realistically be able to use their paint kit and only change the colors of existing models? Not changing any shapes or numbers, just like in the old Paint program, change a color?

Soon, soon, let it be soon

Speaking purely as a FSer, I prefer the analog gauges because you can monitor them with your peripheral vision. With various glass panels, you have to look, usually quite closely, to extract information. And in terms of an analog bizjet, I holding off until early July for a Flysimware Lear 25. Last year they had a 50% off sale for the 4th of July - that would be from $42 to $ 21. Analog (which I like), F1 GTN implemented, the new Milviz-Rex WX implementation promised and quite a bit of detail. There is no FMS, which at my level of skill is actually a good thing. There are addon, ever freeware FMS addons available for me when I want to up my game later. There is one other that I was interested in, but the support offered by that company has made the idea of buying from them again seen risky if something were needed. Just for your information a review ; http://www.avsim.com/index.php/_/reviews/aircraft/review-learjet-35a-by-flysimware-for-fsxp3d-r3425. There is also a recently released 'immersion effects' addon, that adds some external stuff like contrails, jet wash etc. https://fsfxpackages.com/en/Lear35Immersion/ Best of luck

well, the request has been sitting in your support forum for a month, so I think it can be said to have been received, Regardless, optimistically hoping for the best. Quite interested in at least one of the your bizjets, but hesitant.

I'm looking myself and I think I'll be getting a Flysimware Lear 35. Old school analog instruments and a seemingly very nice aircraft. They recently announced they will be patching so the new Milviz WX radar will be integrated. http://flysimware.com/website/LEARJET_35A.html

Ithendrix, that is great. For those of us a bit slow, would you please copy/paste what your are telling us and showing us what file you are modding.

url to the ES Support Forum PMed to ES. Actually wasn't being especially snarky. After a month of no response, I was wondering if ES had closed or someone had died. Had almost purchased the Citation X Extreme v2 in May, but chose not to invest in something with no support. Best wishes
