I'm glad you like my work. Regarding the questions of x-plane 123: it's definitely too early in the developement process to make decisions concerning if it'll be freeware or payware. Either way it'll be equipped with a custom fmcs, especially after I found this book in my local library. Kind regards Martin

amazing update, thank you.

I've put in a lot more time with it now the frames have improved. And they really have improved, to the point it's one of my smoother rides. It's allowed me to enjoy some of the extra little effects like the automatic checklist and the views. Really nice for people who usually can't spare time to sit down with more complex systems. And the modelling / textures / sounds really are drop-dead gorgeous. It's quickly becoming my favourite plane. Now if they could just put some cockpit glass in...(ducks).

I have to say, the fps increase is a blast. On my system i was constantly gettin 20-22 fps with the saab, but 30 with the flightfactor t7. I always thought that there was some potential left. Now I am getting 30-31 fps with the Saab at the Airport and I love it. 30% increase is amazing I thought we get a modest fps increase, but this makes this plane my absolute favorite again (until the ixeg is released )

I'm famous!

We are trying to highlight every feature in the promo vid, its going to take a bit

One in the works, otherwise just the stuff John has already posted in the forums. Might be, but not happening.

NOT flying yet.

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.
