Just wanted to give you a little heads up on a new interview - with me - over at flightsim.com. Might seem a little bit surprising to read it on that page, but they are working hard to increase X-Plane coverage on their site ... so, why not (and its a good sign for our hobby). If you wanted to know a little bit more about me, you might check it out at: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?13946-Interview-With-Andras-Fabian4 points

KBTR-TNCM Departure Forgot to take many enroute shots, so here is the beautiful 1/2 island of Saint Maarten. Touchdown! Turnabout... And parking! Like for perfect parking? Airport was TNCM that I converted from FlyTampa a while ago, just remembered that I had that one. Nice 2-3 hour flight!2 points

Dear friends, Icarus Development Team is introducing our aircraft under development: Legendary IDT DC-9! "The DC-9 is one of the most legendary airliners ever built. It was designed for frequent and short flights, for millitary and civil opperations. Accommodating from 90 to 135 passengers, was the workhorse for many airlines worldwide". Some of the features of the aircraft: - Realistic flight model, accurate flight behaviour and systems according the original technical manuals - Plug-in driven systems - HD resolution realistic textures - Full operational 3D cockpit - Hundreds of animations - Many liveries The first release will be about the DC-9-30 variant, since it's the most widely used. There will be feature upgrades that will include more variations (like the -40, used mostly by SAS), plus the military version (known as C-9). Here are some first views of the aircraft:1 point

Just 2 minutes before touchdown in Seattle, the motor stopped. Well. At least I did not touch any tree and stopped next to a gas station.

The Saab is looking beautiful guys. I'm looking forward to seeing it released. It has been a long road with it, but the wait will be worth it.1 point

Yes, of course it's only conjecture. My opinion. The NTSB will make the only official ruling.1 point

Great to hear the DC-3 update will be coming soon. I've been a silent observer since I bought it more than a year ago and I hope the "trim up in the air" fix will be included in the new version1 point

Hi Nicola, as requested: KSFO Rwy 28L approach in B777-200, No ILS, G/S, DME, A/T, FD, or FMS (didn't even align the ADIRU). All I did was set X-Plane to load and start 10nm Rwy 28L at KSFO). The only things I couldn't turn off were the Rwy PAPI lights. I did review the approach plates beforehand though. And I had the advantage that by letting X-Plane load at 10nm the aircraft was relatively stable at that point, so I needed to do very little to land it. cessna729.1 point

It could certainly be a biased view of the cultural differences, but lets face it, time and time again the same CRM related issues have popped up in some pretty high profile incidents and accidents involving Asiatic airlines, that there certainly is a trend emerging. I don't think we should be pointing the finger at anyone for having the ILS offline (and NOTAM'd out), and having visual aids also offline. Odds are, the ILS was out of limits, and needed to be re-calibrated, or it could be a maintenance issue... I personally hate to think that "highly qualified" airline pilots are unable to land a jet without the use of an ILS, and multiple visual aids (PAPI, VASI, what ever else you can think of). That's basic ab initio stuff right there, and if your so out of practice because you've been letting the A/P run the show, you should be forced to get into a light trainer and show that you can actually get the aircraft on the ground in one piece...1 point

We're doing rolling releases at the moment to ensure we don't overdo our support levels and to make sure no outstanding bugs are present in recent updates. The last two weeks have consisted of the C400 and MU2, and I'm sure we'll see the DC-3 soon.1 point
