  1. Paul - Great job on fixing the textures. Since day one, I always chose the Privately owned Baron because that was the best out of the litter before the fix. Now I have not only that one, but two others that are really a pleasure to fly. I especially like the white/red texture, which was the worst one before the fix, now I like it the best! Thanks!
  2. King N - Freeware, this site, no VC. aa763w_x.zip I have downloaded this and it's one of my favorites! Rick
  3. King Norris - I too, thank you! I love the 737-800, but flying the defaults over and over again gets old! This texture makes it feel like a new plane to play with! Thanks - Rick
  4. This is THE download! This aircraft runs like a "scalded dog!" Two things I did have to tweak: 1) Developer only included 5330 gallons total for this aircraft. I bumped it up to 20,255 gallons and didn't affect the load and balance in the slightest, nor did it affect the "get up and go" it has on takeoff! 2) Warning lights for hydraulic pressure on the instrument panel. Looked at cfg file and the only entry for it was: [hydraulic_system] normal_pressure=0.000000 I made the entry to look like: [hydraulic_system] electric_pumps=0 engine_map=1,1,0,0 normal_pressure=3000.000000 #### No more warning lights for hydraulic pressure!!! #### This is one nice download, and you won't believe the landings. Very easy to "grease this one in!" Engine sound takes some getting used to, but I'm starting to enjoy it, seeing how the engines make the aircraft perform!
  5. Okay, that was easy! Copied the 787-9 panel over to the new download and now I have a 100%u0025 operating Boeing aircraft! A small issue, but couldn't Camil for see that people (I'm sure I am not the only one) will not understand how that could happen? Other than the panel issue, this download has been one of the nicer downloads I have downloaded! Good job Camil!
  6. A beautiful Boeing download that comes with an Airbus panel and throttle quadrant? I'll have to figure something out, as I am really tired of using the Airbus flap selections which aren't much! Flies nice, Camil did a great job!
  7. Good download! I lightened the payload a little, developer had 550 passengers at 210 lbs each. I reduced the payload to 363 passengers at 175 lbs each. Also, the alias'd B747_400 panel will not allow it to show up in the FSX menu. You will need to copy the entire panel from the default B747 over to the new download OR do a search for a better A380 panel. I found one by Pasquale Rinaldi (2011, not the 2008). Much better to look at and operate the download! I have tried other downloads for the A380, but the weight and balance on the fuel is so far out of whack, I gave up on most! At least the developer of this download got the fuel within balance!
  8. Developer needs to check the weight and balance on this upload. Some hundreds of thousands pounds out of balance with fuel. It was a nice download for me, but the plane doesn't want to get off the ground! it's no wonder if the fuel weight and balance is that far "out of whack!" I didn't know where to begin, so I deleted the download and have gone back to my original Qantas A380 download, at least it will get out the ground and get me from point A to point B. Not being that critical of the developer, because when you look at Airbus' specs for the A380 on fuel and the number of tanks this aircraft has, I don't know how anyone could get it to balance! Just a comment by me for the developers review!
  9. Great flying, has some issues with ground handling as it does not have a steerable tailwheel. Very stable and fun to fly! - Rick
  10. When I downloaded this, it had no windscreen, anyone else had this problem? Been flying it, flies great, just looks weird not have the glass! Thanks - Rick
