QUOTE (IslandBoy77 @ Jan 17 2013,9:19 AM) That's an interesting note: has anyone tried FSX on W8 yet? I got my first hands-on with W8 this week. I'm not fussed at all. I will probably eventually end up on 8 one day (unless 9 comes out first...), but I agree with a number of people that it feels a lot like a solution hunting for a problem. I know, I know - Microsoft needs to get a unified OS that will work across all the different computing devices: I get that. And while W8 probably will be pretty good on phones & tablets, it doesn't at all look like an OS I will enjoy...

that saitek panel did look nice, I ALMOST bought one, then read a few reviews that reckoned support in a few payware models wasnt that flash, anyone know from experience?

I haven't downloaded the Outerra demo yet to have a lash: just too busy, plus they are still having issues with their graphics driver working with modern AMD HD-series video cards (like mine). But the videos (in hi def) that I've seen posted are excellent (given the Alpha state of Outerra). In fact even in Alpha, the atmospherics & sea boundaries are still quite away ahead of most simulators I've seen (whether they be flight or otherwise). The dusk and dawn of Outerra are particularly good: no stars appearing where they shouldn't and such. Indeed, one of the videos I saw...

They still are a long way off yet , very similar to what was posted this time last year , they still have a lotta work in front them , the old Fly I/II/III said they were leaps and bounds above the rest .. they fizzled out to so it is going to be interesting to see what can be added at later stages .

I've been testing this for some time now, and it works fine with some aircraft (like the Carenado Caravan). However some developers created their add-ons with their own method of "counter-acting" the default FSX ground friction already, so using this altered sim1.dll changes the characteristics of those add-ons in a very unrealistic way...

Bob your a engineer i am currently doing my technical engineering course and learning how to use solid works. and a little thing there is at least a 1 person-company working on a spitfire at the moment

Latest version firefox beta fixed issue, something to do with google.

I have written also a review about the ProTu Tupolew Tu 154B-2 for "FS-Magazin", a germanspeaking Magazine for Flusi-Pilots. Yes, it is not easy to find in into the cockpit of this aircraft. It is hard work, to fly it. It is no wonder, that the original aircraft has a flightdeck for 5... and we make the work from them alone... In my eyes this aircraft fascinated me but... it is not intendet for Flusi-Pilots with limited time. To see, how the systems work, how to fly it under normal conditions you need a lot of time and for procedures if something goes wrong, you need a lot of time...

It is great organizing an event and joining in .. Tauranga four five years back at the airshow , recall one young NZFF simmer jumped on bike rode around to the local bakery and out of his own pocket brought us all sausage rolls .. he was my hero on the day ... only wish i could have got up but still have a few transport issues . This is were Todd's offer for to pick us up was reminded me of the same generousity from NZFF members /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif />

That's why I'm waiting, because it's normally cheaper to buy as a bundle package.

Take care all our Auckland friends. Hope all is OK

QUOTE (dbcunnz @ Dec 5 2012,5:49 PM) If you are buying from the USA NZ Post have a setup now where you can get your stuff sent to an address in the states for forwarding on to NZ very good for the US firms that don't ship stuff outside the US or do free shipping inside the US Thats a good find! I've used shipito in the past for ordering stuff from the States and have been very happy with their service........... I guess its time to upload my build pics (Well, it WAS built and now its in parts while I upgrade again! /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid=...

No worries. For other people wanting a simular digital version, check out
