I think that's about right for the 182RG so that's the what the AI would be able to fly. If you fly yourself you can carry a bit more by off-setting some fuel (unless you need a full tank - which the AI always fly with) Sorry can't help with the others.

If Mrs B's really that unhappy maybe it's time to let her go - there's a new Air Cargo company just opened down in Hawaii maybe the unsuspecting CEO of ACH would be willing to take on an "Old Bird" Obviously the clean living, family run Air Deliveries company based in Darrington wouldn't be able to fit the bill as it would still be way too cold plus SAD are undergoing a period of consolidation. The Clown over at PFC would seem to be your best bet if you want to keep her local although you never know she may just inadvertently interrupt one of your philandering cargo transport trips to the ba

You must realise that the motto of both the Clown and the Bird is "any (air)port in a storm" in fact there doesn't have to be a storm before they're off with their pilots women to some shady place under the guise of undertaking one dodgy delivery or another. In fact it seems the less well known the better for their "deliveries" Remember today's newspapers are tommorow's fish and chip papers (showing my age there) Hope your still making in-roads on the debt reduction work

Many members of the Pacific North West Haulers Association (PNWHA) utilised and in some cases still use the Carenado Cessna 182 RG Skylane as their starter aircraft of choice. I haven't got the stats to hand (at work atm) but you can swing it early on in career mode in Air Hauler. It has a very decent capacity and is actually a very nice aircraft (plus if you don't own it, it's one of the slightly older therefore less expensive Carenado aircraft). You may find some details in SAD or Flying Circus topics and I know John has posted about it here some where too. John's our resident Mutley's Han

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Delighted to win as there were a number of excellent entries. Cheers Graeme

I must admit I'm a huge Orbx fan but with my current rig I still have to turn off some of the features to get decent frame rates and avoid stuttering so if 2cm is the future it could be a piece of very expensive airport scenery if I have to buy a new machine to run it :D Have to say though it looks absolutely brilliant and I'll still almost certainly buy it Off to sweet talk the wife about a significant purchase

Hello Menno and welcome to the forum and especially the Air Hauler section That's a very nice introduction and I wish you all the luck with Air Cargo Hawaii. It's actually quite pleasant to see someone hauling in the sun, most of us are battling it out over in the Pacific Northwest although the Circus owner's gone a bit soft and headed over to Europe for the winter Best regards CEO Sabre Air Deliveries (SAD) 1S2 Darrington, KBVS Skagit Regional

Top quality shots again Patrick - love the last one

Superb shots and repaint - still don't know where you get the time

Lovely shots - seems a very good version of the Pilatus, maybe time to flex the card again

Nice shots, I bet there was a great deal of brake screeching in the cars below

A bit late on this Mike (been away). Accu-feel works at the core of FSX and dosn't need any additional addons nor does it interfere with any addons or FPS. It's accessed through the in-game addons menu and you can literally turn it off in flight if you wish. As you've probably worked out it's fully customisable so you can make the effects greater or lesser by adjusting the sliders. I have adjusted the cockpit integrity for flying some of the old aircraft to give a more realistic sound in the cockpit (lots of rattles)

Thanks for the heads up Kieran, I'll certainly take a look, downloaded

"Don't follow me I'm lost too"

You didn't by any chance get a "win32 gael" virus at any point recently did you? This little b*gger has been picked up by Microsft Essentials a couple of times recently but when it's cleaned off system various items wouldn't work for me. These included FTX Central, FTX Aero and previously FSX all of which I managed to fix - FSX with new shortcut and FTX by running the last patch again!! However Uk2000 Configurator could only be fixed by a reinstall of all my UK2000 Airports.

Fantastic work again Jan. Love "Raid Hot Mama"

+1 from me In strict value for money terms I think this is the best addon I've ever bought for FSX - buy it

Simple - MONEY - if you can sell enough of them without the time, effort and development costs of designing the cockpit then you've saved some cash - end

Nice review of a great product Rob The fact that Accu-feel works on all aircraft is brilliant - it just seems to add life to the aircraft - I've been flying the Curtiss C46 freeware aircraft recently and it makes a huge difference

Brett I don't suppose you have a link for the mission and the cockpit do you?

Great shots Alan, you always come up with interesting posts

Excellent collection there Alan thanks for the link. I love the Ice Pilots series and I also keep looking at the Buffalo Virtual Airways site as they re-enact the actual real world flights which seems a cool idea.

Inspired by watching the programme Ice Pilots on the Discovery Channel this morning I loaded up a couple of the Buffalo Airways aircraft for a couple of short trips from Yellowknife CYZF. The DC-3 is the Just Flight variant and the Curtiss C-46 is a freeware product which I've found quite enchanting to fly.

Thanks for all the prompt input - problem solved - see above - sometimes I hate computers

As the title says I have lost my Addon menu from the main menu bar in FSX. I now don't have access to Accu-feel, FS Recorder or FSUIPC Has anybody come across this and more importantly anybody know how to fix it. As always any help greatly appreciated. Problem solved - I don't know why this works but I ran the FSUIPC4.exe again and whilst it said it was already installed correctly when I went back into FSX the "Addons" menu was back and I had access to the various addons.
