Love it! A simulated "pilot" flying a simulated airplane...

My mistake, somehow I got the impression you moved on from 9.70.

Have you tried the B-17 available here?

Not bad. Not bad at all. After all the crap I've given you over the past couple of years, this 787 just might be worth the wait! Well done, Michael!

Someday, you'll figure it out.

You're a genius!

Is it really so difficult to understand that the more time any developer has to spend answering countless requests on forums for when a project will be done, the less time he has left to actually get it done?

Earlier this morning, there was an administrator's message up that the Org was doing site maintenance for "likely the entire day." Let's see what it looks like tomorrow...

No argument, just my perspective. Your 2 cents was well spent.

An open market is a beautiful thing... A developer, any developer, can "pass off" anything he pleases as no one is being forced at gunpoint to buy it. Once there is competition for the item, potential buyers are offered another choice. If the first developer wishes to survive, he will need to improve his product. If not, the better product will prevail. And it's not all about price either. More often than not, though, you get what you pay for. However, if one developer chooses to give away his work for free, that does not imply or suggest that other(s) need(s) to do the same. The final choice is left to those who choose to buy it (for free or a price).

Preview of SkyMaxx Pro 3 perhaps?

I have heard of this a few times before, but I've never yet seen this behavior on my machine.

While X-Plane's ATC certainly needs work, it will never offer take-off to touchdown navigational guidance. Just like in the real world.

Rest assured Chris's "offer" was driven by the same motivation one would have to obtain a soothing ointment for a really bad case of hemorrhoids. It was not generosity.

You really don't think the 64-bit requirement all over the sales material is enough?

The best way to re-install any default aircraft is to run the X-Plane updater.

Go run that one past an accounting firm...

Free! I would have gladly paid for an upgrade of this magnitude. Your work is worth it! Thank you!

"To wives and girlfriends, may they never meet."

Exactly! We've seen tons of pretty pictures for two years already.

You will certainly enjoy all the extra space. But given the heavily lopsided bias X-Plane has for reads over writes, you may not get quite the performance boost you would expect from the hybrid drives.

I have never before heard or personally experienced a difference in reliability tied to HDD capacity. I have been running 600GB and 1TB Raptors for years without issue. My son has a bank of 2TB Blacks in his machine that have been rock-solid as well.
