  1. Very excited for this as well. Looking forward to purchasing it and bringing X-Plane even closer to a realistic environment!
  2. I live in Sarasota, Florida. I'd be more than happy to buy you a coffee so we could discuss how bothersome it is when a child constantly asks for updates on a project that is obviously still in development. Before I continue, keep in mind that Michael, Peter, and myself share no relationship other than simply being members of the same forum. Michael has made the generous decision to actually release a well developed plane free of cost to the X-Plane community. It would be one thing if Luca had asked a single question and Michael had gone after him, the reality is that Luca asked multiple times a rhetorical and quite obviously silly question that had been answered time and time again. If you'd like to do some research, you can go see that Luca has been doing this very same thing on multiple forums. He demands something from a developer and becomes petulant when his demands aren't met. It's sad because I really wish everyone could live in harmony as we share our passion for X-Plane. You have to look at it from Michael's perspective, if you were a developer creating a free product for the community and you had a child constantly bother you about what you were working on, wouldn't that cause a disruption and therefore prevent you from dedicating your full attention to your project? I don't like pretentiousness just as much as the next guy, but Michael was well within his right to speak his mind to Luca. I held back because I deal with enough stress in the real world to create more of it from an online forum, but I speak for myself and I'm sure for multiple other users when I say that a lot of us would have gladly told Luca the very same thing that Michael told him. Don't be so quick to judge based on Michael's only reply... do some research on the people involved and see that this is a recurring pattern and not an event that has only happened once. O.
  3. I don't have the Saab 340 yet, but have you double checked that the parking break was off? In certain planes (IE Peter's A380) you need to manually turn off the parking break and you need to check that the keyboard command for the break ( B ) is also off.
  4. To be honest I don't see a HUGE difference with my iPhone 5 apart from the aforementioned camera tweaks. The reason I upgraded is because I was stuck with the worst US carrier (Sprint) and as of a week ago, my phone stopped receiving service. Despite being on the phone with Sprint's technical advisers & managers for hours, they told me that the service could be gone for up to 96 hours and that it was perfectly normal. Since my contract was due to end in 2 months, I just paid them the $75 termination fee and walked away to get the iPhone 6 with AT&T. I couldn't deal with the awful Sprint service and customer service I had been receiving for the past 22 months. Since my business is heavily reliant on clients contacting me, I needed a phone and a carrier that simply wouldn't just quit on me for days at a time.
  5. With the newly released Apple gadgets, I thought I'd make a thread to see what people think of the new phones. I picked up my new iPhone 6 64gb yesterday morning at a Best Buy Mobile store in my local mall. All in all, I think the iPhone 6 is perfectly sized and isn't too big nor too little. I also held the 6+ and I thought it was way too big and inconvenient and was too close in size to an iPad Mini. So who picked up their i devices yesterday and what are your thoughts on them? Here's my beat up iPhone 5 that was traded in for my fresh iPhone 6. I was shocked that they managed to give me $225 for it!
  6. None at all, just didn't want it escalating or deviating from the original thread direction.
  7. I'm not disagreeing with you by any means as I'm well aware of the way an open market works. I do believe though that it's important that we're allowed to voice our opinion and scrutinize a product if the developer has decided to place it for sale. Again, it's quite obvious that Heinz will need some drastic improvements to stay up to mar with the current X-Plane market, I'm simply stating that there is a moral limit when what you sell to people is quite utterly poor work. This isn't the place to have an argument on Heinz's marketing and sales techniques, but as aforementioned, the fact that one developer (well within his right) decidedes to release an unfinished plane for $25 seems a bit ridiculous. Once again, I understand that he has the ability to choose the price at which to sell his airplane, I'm just giving my 2 cents from a consumer's perspective.
  8. Quite astonishing given that you're releasing this for free and yet Heinz is selling his extremely poorly modeled 787 for $24.99... Even if your 787 is a conversion, it still seems crazy that some developers pass off such low quality work at such high prices.

  11. You're just a troll at this point... while banning isn't usually the best idea, I do think there are occurrences where we should be able to vote a member off the forum...
  12. Google is your friend. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=GPU
  13. You should focus on GPU. X-Plane is intensive on processors and ram but it's very intensive in graphic card requirements.
  14. Unfortunately your specs are below the minimums required for X-Plane.
  15. Windows button at the bottom left of your taskbar -> Control Panel -> System
  16. Based on your specs, I'd say your computer isn't powerful enough to run X-Plane. From the looks of it, your system doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run X-Plane 10.
  17. Seems like your graphic card is the issue. Are those horizontal lines always present on your screen?
  18. I genuinely hope that you're a troll and you're not actually so clueless that you'd continue asking for updates every 3 days.
  19. Air France A320 taxiing past the Air France Headquarters.
  20. Developers should make it a rule to purposely call their project "dead" to avoid being pestered by almost daily inquires about the project's current status.
  21. Love it!
  22. Looking forward to this one, Goran. Will be getting a citation rating late next year... Will definitely be using yours to study!
  23. A320 over France
  24. By far one of my favorite addons. Highly recommended.
