X-plane: The voyage of discovery begins........
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Send him this link: http://www.yutopian.com/names/16/16ou298.html and explain that you're not happy sending an id document.
I can understand why you can't be bothered fighting this one though. If I had to provide the id requested, I wouldn't either.
What was it you didn't like about the Wild x-plane DHC-6 Twotter?
EHM-2381 Ted:
Nah I can't be asked dealing with it. VATSIM is fine and more than happy to have me there lol.
With regard to the XP DH6 it totally rubbed me the wrong way. And our FSX freeware Twin Otter is-even with its rough edges in the VC-an excellent aircraft model. Not having a real VC and proper instruments in the XP version makes it unappealing and I don't have the same visual out-the-window view that I think is needed for really enjoying bush flying. Aerosoft would do well to make a Twin Otter the first port over ;D.
I might just pick up the STM Super Cub or DH-2 for fun and keep flying the DH-6 under FSX for the time being. I need to have a good snoop around but I don't think I have seen a comparable rough-field aircraft for XP.
EHM-2381 Ted:
I picked up and installed the whole Curtis scenery package (and the associated winter world).
I also got myself the A1A Husky payware to roll around in too.
I LOVE how this stuff just gets unzipped, dragged into the folder, and then it just works. Castlegar is just lovely to look at now. I'll do some screens later or tomorrow.
This was a reward to myself for finishing up my draft review of the PC-12 and getting it off to AVSIM for red pen evaluation. Fingers crossed they like my scribbles ;D
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Hope you enjoy Curtis' scenery. it makes a huge difference to the xp world up in Canada.
As an aside, my impressions so far of air hauler are a bit meh
however, I think I would say the same of the FS9/FSX version too - At the moment, I'm more into learning about online flying and the AirbusX.
I bought myself an upgrade from FSC8 to FSC9 too ;)
I can see the appeal of Air Hauler, but it's just not for me at the moment - it deosn't improve the flying experience like FSPassengers does, and I do have trouble with the sim crashing when it tries to load some of my DRM protected payware (but not all - strange).
I can see myself using it, but not in preference to flying for Euroharmony or having a blast on IVAO (Where I had to show a VATSIM user the ropes on Friday night - hehe me with my level of knowledge).
For someone not invested in a virtual airline, the product is quite nice and certainly adds an extra dimention or purpose to the flying, it's just that I already have that in VA flying. I'll speak again when I've played with it more.
EHM-2381 Ted:
Have you figured out how to save and export an FSC plan into XP yet?
I can save the plan (and the option is ticked for FSX/XP) but I never see one of those .fms plans pop up anywhere. It would certainly make that annoying XP FMS less so ;).
Shame Air Hauler XP hasn't grabbed your interest yet. I never bought it simply because flying for a VA sort of accomplishes the same thing (provides a framework for flight) and the rest is sort of a bolt-on version of Railway Tycoon in a way. Which is not a bad thing. Although I'm sure you clever management types could add similar functions under ProPilot if desired.
You have DRM-protected XP add-ons?
