• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Found this at the News Stand the other day.

Nah, just using Shade, Rex Essentials and BananaBob's EnvMap texture, then I just go flying, try to find some interesting weather and take a few screenshots. You deserve full credits for those excellent textures! :applause:

Edit: And for those that didn't notice it: Take a look at the rubber mats in the cockpit, I've never seen those look so realistic!
 
Just to whet your appetite while waiting for the release I thought I'd show you a feature not revealed yet, your very own Flight Simulator smart phone!

Want to check your current weight to see if you are below the maximum landing weight? Can you guess where you will find that info? Yup, it's on your phone!

All this info plus a lot more all available on one pop-up gauge!

Dave worked wonders on this feature and we almost had to nail his fingers to the desk to stop him creating more stuff! Over 2,200 lines of XML code in a single gauge! :isadizzy::pop4:
 
+1 for not being an iSomething.


-1 for basically making me a time traveler in my 1980s edition of FSX. :icon_lol:

You'd be time travelling anyway in an aircraft designed in 1947 but brought up to 21st century specs! :icon_lol:

Maybe future plans will fit into your 80's theme better!
 
We can change it out for a brick if you like... but it's only useful function then will be to ring for pizza I'm afraid.
