• 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.

...whether this would be a good buy...

... I dunno, looks temping....

...Lots of time in CFS2 and FS9, so I dunno...
:wiggle:
 
I got it for Christmas.....I debated over and over as to how much time I really had for it...Downloaded the demo and played it for a while...

Ended up returning it..Now I wish I had kept it as there is good help now for it here


I regestered at the X-Plane forums and found it to be not so friendly..That help lead to my decission to return it too...





Hmmm I was just looking thru some of my software and found X-Plane 8.......
 
I bought it from x-plane.org for $39. and it came with a really nice Comanche 250, and a $5. off certificate for other purchases. I used that last night on a Corsair.

Its like getting a car by another manufacturer.. Turn signals are in a diff plane, panels look a little different, controls are different (keyboard layout).

Thats the main hurtle.


But, for instance, with Map view, this darn thing has like 5 different versions of maps, lol.. Its got alot in it.. But its nothing like FS.. Its 'different'.


So you are warned...


:rapture:

I picked it up for vectored thrust aircraft. There is a nice Osprey and a bunch of Harriers (all free). Those I have enjoyed.

What's the secret to the Harriers? I downloaded the AV-8A but can't get it to take off vertically. Is it not supposed to? I give it full throttle, and it lifts off, but then falls back to the ground.
