  1. 950MB? That's gotta be one of the top aircraft add-on sizes out there! Let us know what you think. I'm interested too! Edit: Looks like the trusty ole' guys at XP 10 blog already have initial comments covered: http://xplane10.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/first-look-sukhoi-superjet/ Damn, I've got a somewhat high end rig with 2.67 quad core, 8GB DDR3 RAM, and 1GB Vram, and I'm worried I'm gonna be cringing for fps!
  2. I bought it but I'm not home until Saturday night, so until then I can't tell you what I think First thing that had me laughing was the size of this thing! 950mb! That's unbeleivable for an X-Plane Acf addon...
  3. By any chance did you move your objects file out of your scenery folder? Looks like it can't locate any of the objects, so my guess is it's having trouble reaching the objects folder. Did you do any sorts of editing or moving of the objects folder?
  4. Simon, I can't even explain but your sense of humor always has me laughing at my computer screen ;D Yeah DP, iPads seem just like a big iPod Touch at first, but once you use one you will be amawed. I didn't particularily want one, but when I did get one, I was addicted right away! I have to say 3G in the car, and in the plane is very useful! If you fly VFR often and need all kinds of charts, updated METARS, and the whole web at your fingertip getting an iPad with 3G is great! And there's a built in GPS, quite useful when you get lost in the car :-) iPad is like this; you won't know the feeling until you own one.
  5. I love it Simon! ;D ;D I agree with both of you, I'm keeping my iPad until the screen is completely gone, or it doesn't turn on anymore! I'd find it pretty pointless to buy another one just for those little added features.
  6. I thought I should post this here as it is pertinent to Concorde. Last Saturday I flew Air France to Paris to visit the family. I had worked my charm to go in the flight deck to chat with the pilots. I talked with them in the flightdeck for about 5hrs, time sure does fly when you're discussing aviation with other aviation nuts like you. The releif pilots were the ones flying when I went inside, the copilot was and still is a professional aerobatics pilot (He had flown for Breitling at the Paris Airshow in 2001). What amazed me most is when one of the Releif pilots told me that our captain (who was on rest in the crew quarters) had actually been a Concorde pilot for 6 years This had my eyes sparkling! When the captain came back from his rest, I was still in the flightdeck and him and I discussed Concorde for a few hours, he told me all about his experiences flying at 55,000ft zooming by other airliners! I then proceeded to tell him that I looked at him as an God of Aviation ;D He was also the copilot on the Air France Concorde's last flight to EDSB to be put on display at Sinsheim Germany! Here is a picture of him (he was the copilot on the flight) http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-France/Aerospatiale-BAC-Concorde-101/0470768/L/&sid=ef05d56cb077b9e9bf2a454237ec624b Overall the flight to France was an amazing experience, the Air France flight attendants were cute as usual and the rest of the crew were very kind, and even allowed me the jumpseat for the landing in Paris!

    Project 3

    Techno's always the way to go! Turn on some Tiesto, some ATB, or some PVD and your work will get down twice as fast ;D
  8. Thanks a lot guys :-) Postive comments and feedback are what keep me makin' em! JB: Yes, ORD is from FSDT, the animated buses come from OpenSceneryX, you can place them in Overlay Editor, and they will be animated in the sim. And sure send me a message I'll see if I can help you :-) And thanks again Simon, I'll take your advice next time I do a video!
  9. Thanks Florian:)
  10. Load time is fine for me, even better than youtube!
  11. Hi, Upgrading xp9 to xp10 won't be possible. Waiting for xp10 is up to you, but I'd say $29 for a simulator like X-Plane is a damn good deal! It's definitely bang for your buck! But again, it's up to you and if you can have the patience of not owning X-Plane which can be difficult Good luck!
  12. Wow, beautiful work!
  13. ;D ;D ;D yeah every time I fly with them I try to get connections, and information when I talk to the pilots. Olympus 584 ( those who want to get Concorde flying again) Works with Gerard Feldzer ( the ex director of the air and space museum). My father had met him several times during the Paris Airshow, and I had met him a few times as well. Retired af pilot, and a reallly great guy!
  14. Oh it's not unconfirmed, I personally know the guy who's trying to restore her. I'm crossing fingers everyday hoping I can see her gracing the skies once more
  15. She rolled down the runway at Toulouse LFBO for the first time. She was one of the most beautiful bird that ever lived, and in my opinion will remain so forever! She was prototype Concorde 001 piloted by test pilot André Turcat... She didn't fly at Mach 2 until October of the same year. I remember being 3 or 4 years old at the Paris Air Show waiting for Concorde to fly over because I loved her sound so much! She was definitely one of the most beautiful birds that will unfortunately never grace the skies again :'( Thank you for 27 Supersonic years!

    ATC stupidity?

    And all that will hopefully be improved in X-Plane X
  17. Thanks again for your great tutorials Lis! +1
  18. Thanks for the update Cameron! Credit card is locked, and loaded
  19. Then I think it's ready for posting You should try uploading it to the org
  20. Hmm I'd prefer the rotors to be black but your repaint, your choice
  21. Looking good Rush. One thing, when you take a screenshot you can also use the hot key CTRL + . It will take the screenshot without having the X-Plane bar in the way
  22. Ooh yeah, I'd love to! Unfortunately I'm having my yacht in Monaco refitted that week, alas that's a higher priority It either pisses down with rain all day there, or is 40c stinking hot and I get sunstroke! Never forget one year, me and a mate watched the whole show from under the shade of a B52 wing! A good peaceful use of one. Ah cmon Simon, France during the summer can be great ! Have fun getting your yacht refitted and have fun at the Australian Int Airshow!
  23. Shame that I'll be in the USA because I'd love to attend :-\ Flight shows are always so fun! on another note, Simon are you going to the Paris Air Show in June?
  24. Yeah I'm sure we'd all be interested to see what you have I sure am!
