woweezowee

Hi Goran. I don't really want the Ac.Reader on this machine, sorry. I'll wait patiently for a revised version and meanwhile say this: Can't take it in the air now, but man, that's a damn beautiful plane. Great cockpit with clear instruments. Great from the outside, too. Lot's of improvements from the sundowner, and that already was good! I can't imagine what the Saab will be like!

Hi! Would be great to read the manual, but I am presented with this: Would you correct that and let us download it here, please? thanks!

finally, Tom . Thank you very much for posting. Now I know it's for real. A very good caravan for x-plane. What a hell of a long waiting time for this one. AND I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER. !!! My very own FSEconomy C208 is polished and waiting for me to take her in the air.

yeah, that one, the c206, the upcoming c208 and ... all the rest

Great news! Really great news!

thanks. that's obviously better. think I install some more of it when I hava a larger harddrive

Desperately looking for a good LEAL apt.dat (or Olas xplane scenery)! This is the Eiresim Alicante, a fs2xplane conversion. Looks good here, but actually the fence is removed, the ground textures should be... both producing black images from different angles, especially on ILS. Also, the ap.dat only is parking positions and a transparent runway. Would be worth to rework this scenery (create good apt.dat with xplane textures, use overlay editor to remove the distracting fs2004 textures), but my skills are still limited. And another flight of today started in Ibiza.

Actually, meanwhile I installed some of Spain, because I fly there often in FSEconomy (I "own" Leal, Lesb, Lege). I am still not sure if I want to keep it. Some places (like Ibiza) are great, while others are - well, see for yourself: How does the France, Swiss and Belge Scenery compare? Could someone post some screenshots of those?

Simon, the decision comes down to: option a: doing it for the fun of it, in favour of the hobby. Then you avoid what spoils the fun. Concentrate on what really is fun. option b: go a more professional route. define your standards and stand up to them. do what YOU want, even so if the fun gets spoiled now and then by people that complain. Myself, I'm on option b, earning my money as editor-in-chief of an online magazine (not flight sim related). I certainly understand your decision, although I have to say that there could have been the potential to make the whole thing something bigger, more professional. It was a good start, but there are decisions to be made. All I would ask for is: Don't let those decisions be dicated by others. Example: Not accepting "free review copies" like you made clear in your mission statement. There's no reason to discuss that at length. You either deal with professionals "on the other end" also, and they have to deal with the outcomings of your reviews .... or they try to belittle and influence you. At least, that way you'll know who to avoid. Yes, YOU avoid them completely instead of trying to find a compromise, wich in the end would be a dictated desicion. Or you bash them in another article. But as we all want to see xplane flourish, that's not the smartest of ideas

Recently I watched some of the aviator 90 episodes, namely the crosscountry flights. It presents different msfs aircraft and ORBX scenery, all nice of course to watch, and I also learned some new little things. So it's recommendable. But that's not the reason I write this post. Instead, I saw something there that I wish we had as xplane functionality, maybe as a plugin: Don't know how he does, if it is build in msfs or any other trick, but the guy always zoms on his instruments very fast. It may be TrackIR. I don't have anything like that and while I am very used to adjust all my views with my various yoke-buttons and key, here is what I'd like to have: Zoom fluidly on the panel. Like a mixture of pilot view with the build in zoom, or better: Like leaning you head forwards and sidewards and backwards again. And it should work like this: 1. You point your mouse on the instrument or any place at the panel where you want to have a close look. 2. You click the right mouse button. 3. Your view fluidly zooms in on that spot (not too much of course, i.e. no "super close up" - more realistic like what you could do with your body in a real plane while flying). 4. It's intelligent zoom: If the yoke is in the way for example, it not only zooms in, but also moves the view slightly down, left or right to allow you free sight to the particular panel-section you choose to zoom at. 5. On the second right click it automatically zooms out again to your default position. I'd like it. But please don't ask me to "build it yourself". No talent, no time. Could be cheap payware like the chaseview deluxe plugin or a special add-on that comes with the purchase of x-aviation aircraft.

where did you buy the sponge and cleansing material? I can't spot an FBO, shop or anything else at that local grass strip you've been to

what do you want to say? thanks for checking, airbus. the main irritating thing is at climb out. as it is a fixed prop I would not expect it to go way beyond the red line (Jason chandlers c150 does not, just checked) btw: baro works for me, but I use my goflight hardware to set it.

here is one thing i do not understand, because you said that it would change with the update: performance, rpm and the like. it feels overpowered. i just easily reached 3100 rpm, a climb out of 1000ft/min at 90ias, and cruise way over 100 ias. i have to pull back on the yoke 50 percent in order to avoid exceeding the red line. and if i do, the plane seems to be a bit too slow for the setting . but: i am not a pilot, never been in a c152 I think it is like before the update, but shouldn't there be a change?

The correction was not the dirt, but the white graphic bug one saw there (see the screenshots in the forums; I posted one of the problem and a fellow simmer, too). it is away! Never was announced that the dirt would go away - luckily, because I like it. EDIT Found the screenshot

thanks for getting this out, I hope I can try it soon.

Released for FS2004, now we need the xplane version http://www.eiresim.com/leal.html

very nice!

incredible? I tried the demo at 16 and it was awful, ESP at 2000. big coverage but. hurry up Realscenery and any other projects.. Hmm strange, I tried it and was rather amazed Yesterday I tried some of the spanish scenery also to be found there, and it depends wich tiles you loaded. There is no color correction etc. done to the images, so while some areas really looked good, others were very pale or showed wrong colors. The resolution itself is obviously a compromise between the facts of size and qualitiy. Not bad a at all I would say, if you want to install it all. You can do better with tools like Gmaps though if you take the time and effort and create small areas only. So I think I'll come back to the site when there is a region I am going to fly often - it might be worth to have a look at their photo scenery.

today, the Falcon.

venice and girona are (edited) msfs payware sceneries, and son bonet is part of helgos Mallorca scenery. but I edited that one too, with a gmaps photoreal ground.

map buttons. "generel up" & "general down"

great video!

departing LEPA

nope I am gonna fly your (updated?) C152 around there . And maybe, if I go to holiday there, a real plane (but as a passenger)

Great news! Even more looking forward to the update (hint: I have some spare time at the weekend and I want to fly around Mount Etna in the C152)
