Just got home & watched the Madonna mini-concert. Of course I was pretty ambivalent, most of those live gigs are crap, but WOW, what an incredible 12 minutes of live entertainment! You Yanks really know how to put on a show - you should specialise in that industry, you might do well... Oh dear, I found the video for our Australian Rules grand final from last year. Meatloaf. Imploding, live. Excruciating and embarassing to watch. Absolutely no comparison! anyone know of the best site to catch up on all the adverts? That's the most important thing, not the sport.. http://rutube.ru/tracks/4868949.html

Sooooo, what shall it be ? An XP9 only Moo in a day or two, or an XPX compatible Moo in a day or two ;-) ? Out of excitement with the anticipation, I spent my whole week-end flying around in the beautiful MU-2. Using throttle hardware, I couldn't figure out how to set engines to reverse. Thankfully, overheating brake failures are not yet simulated. One thing I should mention is that using hardware for propeller control is also tricky in its current state : it will not go lower than taxi, and at its lowest setting the engines will yield 20% RPM with throttle at ground idle. I had to move prop levers a notch forward with the mouse to jump to the nominal 70% RPM. I hope that whatever solution you find for hardware throttles in V1.5 will work for prop control as well, otherwise I may have just delayed release by another week or two. Some fans out there are going to kill me. Another quick question, as you know one has to spend half of his time trimming the plane on take-off and approaches : is there a way (planemaker, maybe ?) to adjust the sensitivity of roll trims ? Right now, a single press of the trim button will send the plane rocking to one side or the other. I wish I could achieve a much finer control. Any comments on that ? Thank you Tom for your hard work, I hope you have a pleasant holiday programmed for after the release. E.

Simon is right. You are a fast worker Chris! I can honestly say that you could be the best freeware scenery developer to date! Keep up the MARVELOUS work.

Can't wait to hear those Big Radial Engines!
