  1. To have some fun i did a couple of takeoffs at weights close to MTOW in the -300ER having armed engine failure / fire to occur above V1 on one of the two engines. It's a pretty scary scenario when you think of it: you're still on the ground doing 176 kts when you lose one engine. Yet you have to continue takeoff because you don't have enough runway left in front of you to stop safely. Coming back to Mother Earth won't be easy neither since the airplane is over 100 TONS of fuel heavier above Maximum Landing Weight (MLW). As usual, i couldn't resist punching my PrintScrn key every once in a while

  2. Spectacular Visuals in the 777-300ER, while flying a leg from John F. Kennedy to London Heathrow, the famous Blue Ribbon Route. Sunrise over the Atlantic, stunning sky colors. Beautiful approach into Heathrow Reached the Gate, testing out the new "GroundHandling Deluxe" by JarDesign. There was no default set for the B77W, so I had to create my own. All I finished so far is four catering trucks for four of the main animated doors, but soon will add cargo, buses, trucks and etc. Building your own set takes a while, but most aircraft are supported.

  3. A few days ago, I dusted off my Xplane dvds and loaded again to my computer. But once again, I got frustrated with the way the default clouds looked again. So I went back to playing FSX. Dovetails has taken over and now have a updated Steam Edition. No more crashes and glitches that the old FSX had. But it's basically the same old technology. It did not matter that the weather looked great with the addition of REX4 and Opus weather, the realism was missing. Then I thought, what if there was a weather software to compliment Xplane 10 amazing graphics? This is when a friend told me to check out SkyMaxx Pro. So I watched some videos and read reviews on it. I liked what I read and saw, so I bought it. Yes, It was late, and I had a little trouble installing it, but after a quick email from the owner, I had it up and running in no time. There was a little misunderstanding but it's all good. I must say, the software brought flying in a simulator to a new level! The best part for me at least, that SkyMaxx has to offer, that no other weather/texture software can claim, is the shadow effect! The level of detail when you are flying over lakes and mountains is one thing, but to actually see cloud coverage over areas of the globe is outstanding. Thanks again for making flying enjoyable again! Regards, Rom

  6. Issue has been resolved. Thanks for your response. However, we can differ on whether I was being dramatic. It sure got your attention didn't it? Now let's see how good your product really is and what everyone has been talking about. (Crosses fingers) And if you want to know the secret on how to get more people over to Xplane from FSX, please email me. Thanks Rom
