  1. Let's hope not Considering some of the prices out there for IMHO much lesser quality aircraft the ixeg 733 would have to be priced around 150 euro From what I've seen in the youtubes and the website a pmdg like price setting for p3d (around 90 bucks I think it was) would seem reasonable for me.
  2. 1 year of datasets from aerosoft 30 euro..... Wtf are we even talking about.
  3. Very pragmatic. Do not underestimate the agony of first world problems
  4. Nerds
  5. Very nice, thanks! -Roland
  6. Will there be an advice on sensitivities etc for stick and rudder, like with the carenado planes?
  7. shared cockpit is amazing. I've been doing that with the dash 8 pro with a friend who has atpl. Very nerd level 99, but addictive. Makes you realise though, how little you actually know and how much you did "wrong" all that time simming.
  8. I hope a smart copilot file will be available soon after release. I've been doing shared cockpit in the dash 8 in p3d with a friend that has an at atpl license, so nerd level 99 but it's addictive! The ixeg 73 would be perfect for that!
  9. same. I hope the guys get a nice return on investment.
  10. Awful, not even the chemtrails are modeled.
  11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yHZbgYsIN4 check it out
  12. Edited to delete brainfart
  13. FYI, related to xpuipc. Disabled it, problem went away.
  14. for 500 $ you cannot realistically build a high end system for flight sims imho. best to save more money, otherwise you may end up regretting blowing money on parts that just don't cut it. a MB and CPU alone is alomst 500$ usually, if you pick high end parts i.e. something like ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER and Intel Core i7 4790K / 4 Ghz - 8 MB cache If the money burns in your pocket, I would suggest to buy the best MB and CPU for that money and maybe if funds permit 16 or more gb of fast ram, then transfer your current parts, like hdd, gpu etc. Then save up some more and replace the older items that are left.
  15. I fired up the saab again, in anticipation of the updates. I will do more testing tonight but after take off I found a weird problem with the AP. upon engaging AP the indications hdg/nav/clb and the magenta fd line all go away and the plane behaves strange. If I switch off the AP all is normal again. I will disable some plugins tonight and try again, but maybe this is an issue somebody has encountered before? (latest XP version and saab 1.1)
  16. With the citation in development and all, I certainly did noy expect this update on the saab. So basically, you guys rule, thanks! Imho, the saab is still, at this time, the most in depth prop plane in xplane. That beeing said, I havent flown it for a long time, because of the limited/basic navigation it now has, which makes it hard work to fly online. All my planning crumbles once atc gives me a shortcut and says "go direct to xxxx" Can't wait for the update!
  17. gliding is a niche market within a niche market i think. BTW i think thermaling can never be trained in a desktop sim, as it requires A LOT of seat of the pants feeling. The important part to train can already be done, which is the pattern and landing. I also tried condor soaring, but it's too easy to thermal. (and graphics are really retro btw) In most real thermals with a bit of wind you can get maybe 1 or 2 fairly constant circles in w/o moving the controls too much, then you have to tinker again to stay in the best lift. For training thermalling I therefore prefer the real thing , much better graphics too.
  18. I did that already, will do again to be sure edit: all sorted now many thanks!
  19. Imho, this is the best simulated plane in XP10 right now. While the Saab is not my favorite type of plane per se, I fly it the most atm. Systems, sound and graphics come together in this plane and are all top notch. While the 777 and 757 (the 747 8i is just plain ugly imo, and I wont even mention that) for instance have nice fmc's etc, I definitely do not like the visuals. The flyjsim 727 has the visuals (cockpit only) but not the systems.. so this is why I say the Saab is the most complete and best airplane atm in XP10.
  20. Oops, do i have to buy both again now?
  21. Will do, thx. normally If you uninstall, it frees up the licence? I tend to tinker with my pc a lot
  22. hi guys, is there a way to reset the licences? My disk died, so i had to install skymaxx pro and the saab again, but now i can't activate. A real bummer. Roland
  23. ok, ill try the whole freqs. On my jepessen ILS24 plate for EHRD the RR ndb is 404.5 if i'm not mistaken. That's why I asked. Ill just try 404 see if it picks up
