Bastage! Sorry to hear about your track IR.

I am inexplicably drawn to Miss Grey Suit.... but mini skirt with a suit? What industry is she working I wonder?

Copy paste Austin!

I think once Caranedo is done with their older conversions, we may well start seeing some of their twins coming over.

Hope that will be included in the paint kit - awesome!

Thanks JB. The AN-148 is an outstanding freeware x-plane offering and the paintkit very easy to work with. One of our other members is working on the FS9/FSX version and he's run into a few snags on the texturing. Luckily, no issues with the x-plane version. Slowly but surely, more and more of our fleet gets repainted for x-plane (models not withstanding)

*patiently waits for the release and paint kit*

New Euroharmony Propilot Event starting in November. Been testing out the repaint (unfinished, some modifications to come)

as dpny says - when you enable those extra flight models for yourself in x-plane 9, the sim doesn't bomb and that's the same concept with the v10 AI. They have a hit, but it's not very noticeable until they really start to stack and this will be less so in v10 as the workload gets spread across as many other cores as you have available.

Any chance of enabling rss feed for the news articles?

This aircraft may well be making it into our VA fleet to replace the SU-80 which has limited/dated models available for it. So I'll likely be making use of the paintkit for a Euroharmony livery when released.

Repainted Samens A340 in Euroharmony colours:

Poor analogy. Its more akin to having a cheap guitar you got for free and someone suggesting you go spend a lot of money on a top brand one to learn with. It makes more sense to learn the transferable skills on the free package and then if you like what you do and reach the limits of the software, consider paying more at that point. Additionally, most photoshop users don't use the vast majority of features in the software, myself included. For working on digital output, you can do everything you want in GIMP anyway, photoshop's real feature advantages come into play for print output. The rest is really down to which you are most used to (productivity), and it's better to develop a taste for something thats free if you can, than for something that is very expensive, especially when they both do the job you want.

Can you give me a link to download that C-17?

The burden of proof rises with the extravagance of the claim.

Walk before you run. If you can't use paint.net or the gimp, spending several hundred pounds/dollars is going to be a waste of money.

The yoke is from Aircraft Controls Engineering in Canada http://www.737yoke.com/ the website pictures are out of date, the pro version now has replica trim switches (only one actual switch though despite moving independently). Pros Great looking yoke and tube replica trim switch feels great! easy to install Good value Autopilot disconnect 2x trigger switches for PTT and another function adjustable clipboard with checklist on. Cons Not dual linkable Non Motorised base is unrealistic no trip counter There are alternatives such as from revolution simproducts, or you can build them yourself by getting replica parts, but it's more involved than the unpack, bolt down and plug a USB lead in like the ACE one above. Hopefully I should have an update in a month or so when my next set of parts arrive I have made a list of resources which can be found here for those interested in a similar undertaking: http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/forum/index.php/topic,6794.0.html

I am building a 737NG cockpit using x-plane for the sim and project magenta for the avionics and systems modelling. I intend to move from x-plane 9 to 10 when released later this year. I've been woodworking this weekend and so far I have built the base from 18mm structural plywood raised on 47mm x 75mm blocks, with closer spacing on the rear seat, walk and console area and support under key load areas such as the mid MIP line. It's built in 4 sections so it can be easily dismantled and relocated. I also have a couple of bits on order atm from revolution simproducts and Flightdeck solutions. Once they get added in I'll post more updates. The whole Album can be seen here: http://s946.photobucket.com/albums/ad303/kesomir/Flightdeck/ At some point it will become flyable again

There are a lot of ads on the paint.net page that look like the paint.net download but are not. You can grab paint.net from here: http://www.dotpdn.com/files/Paint.NET.3.5.9.Install.zip The GIMP is a more powerful package, once you get past the ui.

the application you get from getpaint.net is paint.net which is one of the apps that leen recommended. This has nothing to do with windows 'paint' which is the featureless app that comes with windows, it also is not GIMP which is a more feature advanced package than paint.net but that has a UI that if you are used to photoshop takes a long time to get used to.

/agree with Leen.

Planemaker models will also have a new lease of life as AI in v10+

1. I've always liked the saitek controllers in the consumer market. Track IR is awesome, but I don't use it anymore because I find it easier to fly using predefined views to switch between instead. For immersion though, it's a great toy. 2. GTX 570 Runs X-Plane 9 fine on a single monitor at that res. Are you going to be using a dual/triplehead2go for the dual monitors? FYI You can't set up multiple viewpoints in x-plane on once pc, so the single viewpoint stretched across 2 monitors is what you'd get. If you push up into dual 1920x1080 you may want to think about a 580 or another card with more VRAM. 3. It will boot quicker, disc I/O isn't a bottleneck though so no improvement at all once in sim. The PC is quite a beast. They key for x-plane 10 is : 1. The fastest cores you can afford. 2. As many cores as you can afford. A solid GPU is also important with enough VRAM, but as a 32bit application, you may not find things exploited fully until a 64bit switch occurs.

There are always these (amongst others): http://www.simw.com/pro-flight-trainer-evolution-with-twist-grip-throttle.html http://www.simw.com/helicopter-configuration.html http://www.simw.com/g-stick-iii-plus-with-self-centering-springs.html http://www.rcsimulations.co.uk/shop/page/6?shop_param=

I think that this is "beginners to ..Planemaker". Correct me if I am wrong, but don't actual modelled windows require a 3d object modelled in an external app?
