    Nice to hear from you again Steph.

    Thanks mate.. been so busy with work, i barely know what day of the week it is sometimes; been juggling quite a few plates, but happy to be back :)

    I'm really loving the new MSFS, even though I still have my FSX Steam and P3D, i just never seem to use the old platforms now and got shot of most of my old add ons and a lot of my old Saitek gear.

    I'm looking forward to some new aircraft being launched for MSFS, but at the moment, the offerings are thin on the ground, and don't seem to be getting vary favourable reviews. :blink2:

  7. Aerosoft 4th July (2021) Sale

    I came across an Aerosoft Sale for 4th July on the Flight Sim Store site, which may be of some interest. Appears to be mainly P3D/FSX though, so didn't blow my skirt up as i'm now exclusively on MSFS2020, but might be worth a look if you are on one of the other platforms

    Also, Orbx also has some really good deals on selected sceneries so i managed to pick up EGHI (finally), although its not  patch on the FSX version i used to love.. V2.0 maybe?? :rolleyes:

    Looks like Captain Sim is alive and well, and producing for MSFS2020, albeit with a few teething problems and discontent within the FS Community following their 777 releases. 

    I for one am hoping that they go for some of the older classics like the 707, 727 etc. rather than what they are currently offering.. :whis:

    Hmmm interesting...

    I might have a play and see how it works with the 3 x 32".. 

    Currently i've got them stretched just over half way across the two side monitors using the NVidia Surround and the fish eye is negligable but might be nice to use the whole of the two sides.

    Thanks for the tip :)

    A decent Flight simulator I liked FSX and bought P3d but not happy with P3D

    I think, om the face of it, FS2020 is going to give that same warm fuzzy feeling that we all had when FSX first graced our screens.. Unfortunately, having recently moved to P3D, and not really having my skirt blown up, i think my P3D days are numbered (probably on the toes of one foot!). My Aerosoft A318-20 is probably the only thing i am likely to use on that platform going forward.  I'm just glad that i 1) didn't have to re-buy Orbx for P3D, and 2) that i didn't stick my hand in my pocket for A2A's 172!!

    Instant Replay - i hear it is in the 'Backlog' :secret:

    Helicopters - i'd love the Osprey to make a comeback as i loved flying that in ATWC

    Better ATC - a) more varied voices across the world  b) responses to 7700 and 7500

    Liveries - There are going to be a LOT of the same aircraft up in the air in Multiplayer

    More/Better training options - 8 training sessions is a bit feeble... they could have at least re-used some of the FSX training :whis:

    Not quite into Unicorns, i have to say, but a 'Put your face on the pilot' ... not quite like putting the tail on the donkey, but i'd love to be able to slap my face on the virtual pilot just for fun :D

     I recently bought the Aerosoft CRJ, which is quite an in depth sim.  I am enjoying....it is a plane I flew in a few times between Indy and Chicago. Happy memories.  :)

    I've always liked Aerosoft products and the immense amount of help and support I've had from their customer service team (Tom Flashman gets a shout out here) whilst trying to move my FSX products across to P3DV5 means they will certainly be getting my business going forward. 

    I do, however, have an embarrassingly large pile of software that I now have to figure out whether I can ever use it with P3D or if I'll have to say goodbye to it. :blink2:

    Enjoy the CRJ :)

    I started really getting into the A2A c172 after flying in South Africa IRL. Apart from that I was a 'flitter'.

    Now I have rebuilt Flight Sim PC with P3dv5 and Aerosoft A318-21 installed, I'm probably going to try and start learning it from scratch.  Unfortunately, A2A won't offer any discount (not even a measily fiver) on a p3d version so stuff them... they've lost my business,  well, for the moment at least..
