The online specs are only the broadest of data and I wouldn't have thought they are enough to go on. Much of the performance envelope will only be determined by the flight test programme in any case. Only the most basic of 3-view drawings and cutaways, and very few photos are available to work from, not enough to build an accurate 3D model, I would have thought. My advice would be to plough away on one of your freeware products first: you will have far more data to work from and you will learn much more than trying to tackle an aircraft which has yet to fly. Most of the top developers for X-Plane had a track record as publishers of excellent freeware models prior to embarking on payware. I should also say that I have been involved with beta testing of several projects and that the test programme runs into hundreds or even thousands of hours of flight testing to match the real world performance and handling. And this is with hundreds of pages of data available. People's expectations of payware aircraft are extraordinarily high nowadays, so do not underestimate the months of work of work ahead. over a year, maybe. In the meantime, the best of luck.

Dear fellow x-plane users.. I am the CEO and founder of the Norwegian Aviation and Flight Simulation Community called Simnor (www.simnor.no) Simnor had it's first launch on the 1st of October 2011 and have been providing service to all pilots, ATC and people with interest in aviation. In Norway there are now two major community one beeing www.flightsim.no and then our company www.simnor.no. So here is the case.. Lately we have noticed an increase in the "FS" clan of the site provoking an everending battle between the gigants (here by refering to FSX vs XP) As a founder and administrator of the site we would love to see any activity what so ever, but In our case the majority of our users are FSX or P3D users with their sens of what is best and so on.. One could say activity is activity and that we should in fact be greatful for any new member that signs up, and we are of course that. But Norway has a luxury problem right now, we have two major sites (kinda like x-plane.org and x-pilot.com) and users are transitioning between both. No harm in that and it has been encourage by us (not the other site).. We on the other hand is the suffering part as our traffic is downfalling and statistics show that it is a decending trend. Nevertheless, we have now come to the conclusion that we rather want to put our money into making and dedicated Scandinavian site for X-Plane users only and try to combine our fellow interest in that simulator and community. We do not aim to steal away any members from this site or any other, and I can personally vote for that as a proud x-plane.org member my self. But we aim to proved a common language platform for scandinavian speaking users where aviation, flight simulation and many more topics are key items. We started out with myBB as our platform, but have lately moved on to Invision Board (IPB) as used in both x-plane.org and x-pilot.com - We proved right now a file library and a content platform as our main website. We do on the other hand not provide any chat function or gallery function as our membercount has not been high enough to justify that cost. So what now! Well as mentioned we are now aiming to re-organize our site to be more adjusted and suited for x-plane users and we want to ear this out in the community sort of speak. We hope there is an basis for such a site and we are most adaptable to any special needs in regards to category and forums. But our main focus will be x-plane and design, but also a couple of other branshes such as online activity for both IVAO and VATSIM coupled with i.e multiplayer etc.. The main language will be scandinavian but as most scandinavians do speak english, we do not disgard any engslish members if they so choose to join our community. Are there any interest in such a site or do you have any perticular feelings, thoughts or ideas for our new path. Please share your opinion as we are eager to hear them. Kind regards Tom Knudsen

The pretty-est aeroplane in X-Plane. Plucky too ... a real trooper. Such clean lines! So nice to fly ... when I get the urge to just fly I take this speedy little turboprop for a spin, and it satisfies just about all my simulation needs Here she is just parking @ my Brisbane FBO.

I would say get the external model done before you do anything on the interior, but I'm no pro

Lucky you. You can't have been doing much on your site in March, then. Because that's when they had a near-revolt on their hands, through so many being unable to load, view or access their sites.

Yeah, I'm sort of of the same opinion. How can you say it'll be payware when 1. So far you haven't released anything previously 2. With the best will in the world, payware quality can't be determined at the ideas stage. That'll be obvious either way much later down the development line. And, if you plan on sticking with webs as your main website, be prepared for your customers to sooner or later be (extremely) pissed off when they can't access it. Or for YOU to be unable to access it. I tried to set up a site with webs.com earlier this year, and images didn't load or show up, tech help blamed third parties, tech help fob you off, and rather than sort the issue out, they delete the threads of everyone rebelling because they don't want new customers finding out how shite they are. Here's proof it's not just me, and it's not just a one-off. http://www.webhostingreviews.com/webs-reviews.htm My advice, get a different web host, quick.

CRJ-200 of course! Thanks JRollon and X-Aviation for such a great aircraft! From Brisbane to Tamworth .. Kendell Airline livery (subsidiary of Ansett Airlines) .. now a defunct airline, but my wife used to fly Ansett as a stewardess (she described the CRJ back then as a 'baby 727' ... she also flew on the 727 until they converted to the 737 ). .. landed and passengers disembarked.
