Alabeo release M20R Ovation for FSX/P3D
Andrew Godden replied to mutley's topic in News and Press Releases
Joe, You could be waiting quite a while for that sale then. As a general rule, Alabeo and Carenado exclude their most recent productions from sales for some time. As for it being worth it, you ask a simple question to a not so simple answer. As the Head of Reviews for Mutley's Hangar, I have written many reviews on Alabeo aircraft, but I have only had time to have a cursory look at the M20 so far, and it is good. So, my simple answer is yes, it is worth it. However, your post strongly suggests you are driven primarily by cost and on that basis, you could be setting your -

Yeah, the suspense is killing me. -
And Clive Palmer's mining and financial empire has collapsed with him currently in front of the courts. Nothing happening here at all.

pirep Leg 01 - EHGI (Southampton) to EGPN (Dundee) via EGLS (Old Sarum)

I resemble that remark, and it happens to be the right one at that. -
Fintan, The SPAD.neXt web site states it supports the X.52 controller. I don't have the controller so I don't personally know. That is the purpose and benefit of the 14 day free trial with the SPAD.neXt software...try before you buy.
-
If the suggested drivers above work, then leave it at that. SPAD.neXt should work, at a significant cost for driver software, and is especially necessary if you have any of the Saitek panels, i.e. radio panel, switch panel, multi panel, etc. I have older drivers than those suggested above and my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and Throttle Quadrant work in P3Dv4, though I suspect I still might need SPAD.neXt for the various function buttons on the Throttle Quadrant, some testing I still need to do. SPAD.neXt comes with a 14 day free trial so you have at least try before you buy. Cheers

Wayne, I couldn't agree more. Such is this age of entitlement which seems to be spreading across society like an invasive, aggressive cancer - and it no longer seems to be confined to the millennial generation. This obsession of ours, in its many forms, is a fee for service industry, be it goods, cloud storage, etc. The attitude of some either shows a lack of willingness to pay for those (upgraded) goods, or a total lack of understanding of the cost of running these businesses or services...and let's not even mention the concept of fair use policy just as long as they can have as m

It's always easy to blame Carenado without understanding the background. In the case of Carenado's X-Plane models, I understand it is not so much Carenado themselves but the individual developer (a subcontractor and not a Carenado employee) who does all their X-Plane conversions. It is he who is insisting on charging Carenado for the work and Carenado are within their rights to pass that cost on. I guess that is just one of the many "costs" of going with a flight sim version which does not have a high uptake rate in the community, regardless.

Milviz have finally come to their senses and are no longer charging customers a $5.00 fee to upgrade their Milviz products to P3D V4. All customers who have already paid this fee will be refunded. Now, all other major third party add-on developers were quick to announce some time back that upgrades of their respective products to P3D V4 would be free. So I wonder how long it took Milviz to realise they were about the only major third party add-on developer to be hitting their loyal customer base with this charge, a charge, by all accounts, their competitors thought was unreasonable

Up, up and away.

Have a look at this. http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/index.html No idea what it's like because I just did a simple Google search. -
Not amused, now just finding this topic extremely boring because it's been over done ad nauseum and it appears you don't understand when enough is beyond ridiculous. Your disorder is your problem, now ours, but unfortunately you seem to think it's OK to subject us to it. You might want to try researching "taking the piss" (the real deal, not the celebrity version) and understanding at which point in this thread responses to your posts were doing exactly that. Have a nice day.

But you do.

Hmmm, all very novel, but that's about all right now. It's nice that Anton thinks electric drives will become irreplaceable in aviation, of course he does, he has to justify his existence and wants to keep his job. You can have the "greenies" screaming for green energy ad nauseum and dreaming about emissions targets, etc., etc., ad infinitum, but only one thing will drive this, demand, and that demand will be driven by cost, and when it's cheaper than the current option, hey, it might even fly. Oh, and none of us here will even care when it does, because we will no longer exist. Fo

What to expect on the ATWC 007...
Andrew Godden replied to OzWookiee's topic in Members General & Announcements
BeeJay, Apologies for the dot points but it is the easiest way to summarise the ATWC: circumnavigates the world; broken into sectors, with a series of flight legs of varying distances per sector; some legs have restrictions, typically aircraft type, by MTOW; sectors are released in stages and pilots bid for a flight leg on a first come, first serve basis; pilots fly the flight leg and submit a PIREP in the Forum as a pictorial; the pictorial can follow an imaginary storyline, these are often the best type; when a sector is complete, the ne -

Stop the default scenario on restart/crash
Andrew Godden replied to OzWookiee's topic in Prepar3D Series
So, given that you are crashing regularly, is not creating the scenario and then saving it before you start flying an option. Then all you have to do is load the saved scenario. I'm currently not sitting in front of my flight simming computer, however, I'm pretty certain, P3D has the ability to save scenarios. -

Martin, Just a courtesy point, it would have been better if you just made your comment regarding screenshot success rather than quoting (reposting) the entire preview again (with screenshots). After all, you had already edited the original post and added the screenshots. Cheers Andrew -
Review Milviz - Cessna T-50 Bobcat
Andrew Godden replied to mutley's topic in News and Press Releases
Bob, When reviewing the Milviz T-50 Bobcat, whilst I found the model to be generally good, I was rather disappointed with the cockpit and panel, as my comments indicated. A few dot points to consider: Whenever I use the Milviz T-50 Bobcat, I have to disable my anti virus protection otherwise it will quarantine a lights .exe file - this was noted in the review. I am not aware of this causing other problems, such as poor quality graphics. I have my texture resolution set to 2048 x 2048. I have my texture filtering setting set to Anisotropic 8x, but a higher s
