    Default Praise for Charlie Mike

    I held off getting the 310 since it's release came so close to FS9, so pardon me if this praise is old hat to Dreamfleet veterans.
    WOW! That plane is amazing!
    For a little added fun, I programmed it in as an AI aircraft so that it would be parked in Knoxville when I 'flew' in from Atlanta on Mike Stone's Beech 1900 to pick it up. (it makes a crummy ai plane, btw ;-) )
    My first glimpse of it was on final approach, then I taxied up right beside it. Since then, I haven't flown anything else. Fantastic job, Lou and the whole DF team.
    Now my poor Archer is gathering cobwebs in Ottawa, while I zoom around in my new toy.

    Nice to hear about your "delivery" of 7CM, Blair, and thanks for purchasing it. (BTW, as stated in the manual, we do not suggest it's use as an AI aircraft, too complex flight dynamics for this ;-))

    Thanks for the kind remarks about it, but don't neglect your Archer either. We don't want its feelings hurt. ya' know? :-)

    If someone is thinking about holding off until they can get FS9 I would say go for it now. My older computer handled it just fine with a P3 and a athlon 2100xp. Yeah, with some intense scenery and clouds it bogged down a little, but so did the default planes. Now with a 2.8 P4 it runs like a charm anywhere.

    I was looking at a 310 at the airport last weekend. It looked nowhere near as good as the Dreamfleet one. If the gang had tried to release a version of this plane with one tip tank in primer and the ratty paint job that had seen too much weather, people would have screamed at the top of their lungs.

    There is also a twin Bonanza there, that makes a 310 look like a C152 in size comparison.
