Hey all, looking seriously at getting the air hauler add on for fs9 does anyone have any information or pros and cons about this add on???

any help greatly appreciated
thank you

I've been tempted but have held off on the purchase, simply because I have its predecessor - Cargo Pilot. While I can't speak for the latest version, I've been regularly 'playing' Cargo Pilot for well over 2 years. Both addons add so much to FS - you feel like you have a purpose now, you get to start and run a 'business' and your flying must be realistic. Barrel roll a 737 full of cargo and your company will feel the sting of fines for aircraft and cargo damage! Air Hauler looks much more involved than its sibling, and certainly has a slicker interface!! I don't think you'd be disappointed!!

Cheers! thats all i need, im sold i'll put the order through,

Cool - let me know how you get on and how you find the program, as I'm seriously considering upgrading. Hey, its my birthday right!?!?

And?

I have bought this program about 1 1/2 weeks ago and I am hooked. I read a great review by Jon Murchison over at ARNZ and that sold it for me. He runs through the pros and cons and includes screenshots of everything. Well worth a look.
I'm flying it with FS9 at the moment, but will probably start an FSX game when I get back from holiday. If you are quick there is also a competition running over at ARNZ to win a copy of this.
I am "acurnow" in the stats page: http://www.airhauler.net/portal/

it should arrive for me in the mail on friday, looking forward to it!! and will put my 2cents in once iv had a wee play on it for you all.

Look forward to hearing your "two cents" worth, then.

My 2cents... GREAT program, if you enjoy flying for a purpose and managing concepts then i would highly recommend this for you as it covers most things that are included in managing a cargo air operation. thats all for now, i will be far too busy hauling my cans of fizzy and mail around the country

Must admit that I succumbed to temptation and purchased the download version on Monday. Have already had several small issues (programme not recognising FSUIPC, and no sounds for either the default Caravan or Milton Shupe's Aero Commander 500 Cargo version), but these have now been worked out. One thing I do miss though (and this was a real selling point in FSCargo) is the animation of loading/unloading crates at pickup and destination airports into the hold of your aircraft. Can really see the potential of AH and it looks like it's going to be a heap of fun.

Great to see other Kiwi Parcel Pups out there flying our virtuial skies.
