BTW if you want a GOOD freeware dash 8 pop over to Premiercraft. They have them in several flavors. I am currently flying the QANTASLINK das 8--nice bird. Anyone considreinf the Virtualcrud F-50 do NOt I have not nicknamed them that without good reason, this is a much better turbo twin and the price cannot be beaten
