the only reason to keep P3D in my experience - was the A2A Commanche - soooh! just a few more days to Nirvana in MSFS - Accu-Sim Comanche 250 MSFS Screenshots - The A2A Simulations Community Which only leaves me to say goodbye forever to P3D - and how many GA aircraft will now be defunct in MSFS

I have just received an email inviting me to fly the Blackwing on X Box Following the prompts takes me to Central - for the purchase etc - and where it states that I will "need Central to download install this" does this mean that Central now has a method of downloading to X box - or if I buy this from central - how do I get it into X box having purchased it from Orbx ----- and not the marketplace Or - is the money wasted - if I only have an X BOX

As simple as I can get it - RE-INSTALL ALL - following the topic in Avsim - seems most will work - if they don't - then I won't bother since it was Orbx that made the sim for me

It looks as if from Rob's summation - that I would be able to fly all my old aircraft in this new one - then it might be worth spending a few bucks on the new sim I really miss aircraft like the Navajo - Saratoga - A2A fleet I had - etc - and even the Comanche despite the new one coming this month My other big question would be - Orbx True Earth where I had the full bottle offered PS - forget the A2a aircraft - I have just read elsewhere that A2A will not support V6 and dont think that their aircraft for V4/5 will work in V6 correctly

Good for you Mate - I keep eating Shredded Wheat for my breakfast - but my speed is slowing down - and not just my internet

Wain -- if I were to answer this question based on my early 34 years in the UK and where do I go to when I come over there - it also would be the Cotswolds' My Great Grandmother was born there -and many an annual camp in the Boy scouts - and the villages are beautiful. Here's a copy of my 2nd oil painting of the famous Castle Combe village

Our Whitsunday 74 Islands - sailed in them for 3 years - you can go there via Hamilton Airport this a panorama of the famous Hill Inlet

Just an suggestion Sascha - you probably have been working with up-to-date scenery of the airport - the surrounding Bing scenery is circa 2013 - and so much has changed in the area since then - take look at the latest Bing satellite - and compare the 2 to see if that might help in some adjustments.

Thanks Ken - the FB is a Short Sunderland that was flown by Ansett Airways from Sydney Harbour to various destinations in New South Wales especially to a place on the Northern Rivers called Grafton - landing on the river there If look at the harbour of Sydney - in the flight planning section of MS you will see a "runway" laid out for the Flying Boats - and that is the pic in the video opening

1950's - how some of us remember things as they were before glass screens - and why we grab the old birds offered in the flight sims - whether P3D - XP - or MSFS who is catching up. How many can you identify in the video The airport - most shown - is Sydney - or as it was known back then - Mascot Who remembers the way we used to flight plan - in my case 1970

Always use the Snip and Sketch App in windows - you can also make some accurate mods if you are not too happy with the results

Maybe 2024 might bring it to us both and then again - Pigs might Fly

the news that many of the older pilot brigade have been waiting to hear please do watch the video and be astonished at the level A2A have gone to - to give us a aircraft that I enjoyed flying around in and in which I carried my family some 50years ago

2024 - some more info that might ease the worries of not knowing of what it is all about MSFS Keynote at FlightSimExpo 2023 - Twitch

Thanks Wayne ---- no need to call me SIR - I was only a simple signalman/private in my National Service

Sheesh - I just worked out that I have spent $125 in the last 2 weeks on marketplace I see that Orbx have a sale at the moment - but not much for 2020 - BUT - if one goes to the marketplace - there is a raft of Orbx stuff at well reduced prices - for all those PC and X box users - but make sure that the software will fit the X Box

Too expensive for me - can't really see the use - I'd rather buy a new aircraft like the twin Commanche which I have done but I will soon need the plastic again in july for this baby that we have waited some time for

i see - Thanks - I havent bothered with GSX up to now - will take look

Thanks Nick - but I dont seem to have a file named virtuali after Roaming ? - and I checked the search section

I don't know about liking it - a script by a typical jealous Pommy - but it was like this and known as the Glitter Strip - and still is except that the airport you saw in the video and the aircraft are little bigger and faster Yes! The strip was like this in 1950 - and - yes 1 in 3 Australians dreamed of spending a week's holiday here and were prepared to travel 500 or 1000 miles from Sydney and Melbourne to do it Me - the wife and 5 kids did it first in 1972 from Melbourne - driving for 2 days to get here and the same back - for a stay of 2 weeks until we discovered Noosa - just 200 miles North on the Sunshine Coast - and eventually living there in 1986 - moving to here - GC - in 2005 As you all well know - I constantly winge over the fact that that Microsoft are still using Bing sats for the sim that is over 10 years old which means that none of you - have any idea of what The Gold Coast looks like today It better than the video - - the coast gets something like 20 million visitors per year and at least 1 million of those - are Pommes and Germans coming here instead of Europe and Majorca - although - I believe Cyprus has taken over from Spain - unfortunately.

Auscene our favourite Aussie developer of local airports have a freebie download of their GSX at Hamilton which downloaded gives a file - and the install advice says this - Install Path: %APPDATA%\Virtuali\GSX\MSFS Credit: Impulse Simulations Where do I find to place the file??

For some reason - although I have been handling PC problems for 40 years - I just cannot get my head around these mobile phones and Tablets that run on Androids - or should that be Steroids I bought the wife a new tablet to replace an aging Samsung one - and which I thought I would use it in conjunction with the PC in the sim for say - PDF's - or Checklists etc. - but I am lost Can someone please help an old dodderer as to how to get such things on a tablet using Android? I do use a second monitor for little map - or checklists etc - but those of course are via Windows

She's fast and free😱

You will certainly need the checklists and manual Bristol Type 188 Flaming Pencil for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS

i thought that the textures on roads and car parks were pure 2d and spoils the whole effort - see the transition from Bridge to road on freeway entrance
