Cameron and team, Many thanks what can I say? This was my aircraft of choice before Yosemite and the following xplane updates before I abandoned it because of poor performance on my modest spec iMac. But now the performance and frame rates are loads better and flyable, and the scroll wheels, gps etc wonderful. My aircraft of choice once more, thanks again. Roger

Thanks for letting us know!

Tomcat, Something tells me your ADF radio preferences file(s) are corrupted. I will send you replacement files via PM with instructions on how to install them.

I'm sure Cameron will get around to it, but here's one I found on AVSIM.

Thanks for the feedback guys. It makes all the hours spent chasing microseconds to bring the FPS up worth while.

Hopefully your big, bad self feels like you just moved mountains. Enjoy the stage. It's all yours! I'm touched that our products have emotionally affected you in a way that you exhibit such behavior.

Test flight of the REP-enhanced Carenado 210:

Last one....

When it's ready to be beta-tested

Update 25/05/2015 Took me 3 days to figure out how the best to make and attach animations to objects. Far the most complicated instrument I've ever made.. But seems like it's done and it's working as expected. Some cosmetics needed here and there, but nothing major. Sometime I wished I never ever started this project But it's getting closer, getting into shape and really like the outcome

Some recent flights:

My first flight across the pond with the Jardesign A330. It went fairly well Zurich to Montreal (what else )

More of the 777. By now you must be able to tell this is my favorite aircraft. This time, I flew in sync with the Real AAL100. I took off at 6:38 PM EST and landed at 6:11 AM BST. The real AAL100 took off at 6:42 PM EST and landed at 6:07 AM BST. So, ultimately, I must have lost a few minutes during approach both of us generally flew simultaneously.

Flew on B-HIG 2 days ago (saturday), done some hardcore navigation with my new instructor. No nav radios on this 172N My favorite Cessna 172 Sai Kung (Hebe heaven) "Cessna India Golf over Clear Water Bay" Waiting for my instructor before the flight

Approaching EDDM

Bucharest to Mykonos in EADT's old freeware 737:

I'm absolutely speechless!! The JarDesign A330 is one of the most beautiful planes that i've ever flown in X Plane!! Currently on my way from Palma de Mallorca to Munich

All about United at Chicago!

I've been busy with school so I haven't had the opportunity to fly her yet Early reports seem good. Apparently overall the A330 is a nice step up from the A320, from my brief look I can tell you the cockpit textures are outstanding! More specifically, FBW has been greatly improved but the MCDU's still have a reduced level of functionality. This was never a problem for me in the A320 but if precision is your thing you might want to wait.

And the journey continues... BCS3084 "EUROTRANS" THREE ZERO EIGHT FOUR DEP: ULLI (Sankt-Petersburg, Russia) DEST: LOWS (Salzburg, Austria) LEVEL: FL380 ROUTE: LISNA B141 RANVA P863 RESMO N619 TIGNU B73 RANOK P861 RASAN UP861 RAK UT108 NIRGO T108 OSTES T700 SBG Commencing pushback from stand 701. Engines running, so it's time to call for "Before Taxi" checklist! Quick look at the scenery. X-Plane airport addons keep getting better and better... With favourable winds en-route, in less than two hours we fly the arrival segment into Salzburg. Long final, on the ILS runway 15. Still, this won't be a simple straight-in approach this time around. Flying special circling procedure for runway 35. Overflying Salzburg city with the airport in the background. Right base to runway 35. Vacating runway via taxiway Bravo. Another successful landing ;] This scenery has to be one of the freeware jewels. Blends nicely with HD Mesh and World2XPlane autogen.

Clear sky morning. First leg of the day and shortest one (372 nm). Great view on the Rhine river during initial climb on MODRU9T departure out of runway 23L. Passing over cloudy London Descending on the ILS runway 09 into Bristol. Can you spot the runway? Bristol's runway isn't a very long one. Entering the apron via last turnoff (taxiway Alpha). Loading containers and fuel. Next flight will take approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete. BCS1024 "EUROTRANS" ONE ZERO TWO FOUR DEP: EGGD (Bristol, UK) DEST: EPLB (Lublin, Poland) LEVEL: FL370 (step climb FL390 at POVEL) ROUTE: WOTAN L9 CPT UQ295 CLN UL620 REDFA DCT POVEL/N0458F390 DCT SUI L980 CZE L981 KOTEK T709 LUKOX Leaving Bristol city on the left side. WOTAN1Z SID. Looks like the weather over eastern Europe is gloomy. 85 minutes into the flight. Crossing the border between Germany and Poland. IMC prevail during approach to Lublin... ... but we make it to the ground safely. Our next flight will take us just over 400 nautical miles south of here.

Taking advantage of the tailwind it's only 50 minutes before we reach our Top of Descend (TOD). Amazing quality of Constanta's scenery (freeware!). You can get it from DAI-Media (www.dai-media.com).

Remember clear skies in the morning? Next we've met some cumulus over Bristol, rain in Lublin and now it's snowing in Sankt-Petersburg! Short final runway 28R with a good view on Pulkovo 2 terminal. Staying overnight in cold Russia...

Hadn't flown a multi in a few months... Definitely a good feeling to be back in a more powerful aircraft.

DHL 757-200SF from Bristol, UK (EGGD) to Southampton, UK (EGHI) Short hop to enjoy great Pilot Plus sceneries for above airports, as well as great freeware UK Pro scenery by Tony. Haven't flown the FF 757 in a while and i have to admit it is surprisingly good after all those patches. The 1990s DHL livery does look cool on the 757 and kind of nostalgic, doesn't it?

My only one, I promise haha!

Flying around LSAN

Crashed outside of Banff while procrastiflying, took the opportunity to play with RTH and sky colours to get some cool shots.

Bit of a bumpy climb out of YYC, heading for the coast and rainy and possibly clouded in landing in YYJ. More pictures later

Today's adventures take me to Thailand, and the newly converted Armi VTBS!

Fine-tuning flight model

Clean versus Dirty

Worked mostly on tiny things. But tiny things makes an aircraft look real, right?
