Hey thanks for that...just trying to get the head around this new site...looks to be a real beaut. Would sure be keen to hear of peoples experiences of x plane, have purchased alot of Wilco and PMDG add ons and would hate to buy something that wouldnt be compatable with them

Hi I downloaded TECNAM P32 from simMarket & loaded it into my FSX Airplanes folder & found it wouldn't load. Sent e-mail to designer in Italy & he said it wouldn't work. He suggested I might get a refund from simMarked towards another FSX plane or download trial version of X-plane & try it on that.
Any comments from anybody who has tried X-plane & found it as good as they reckon!!
Cheers

My name is Andrew Gorman and I am new here and am a current X-Plane simmer. I was reading through this forum and noticed this statement that scenery cane be converted but aircraft cant.
You can import scenery via the FS2XP software easily enough thats true, AND you can convert the FS aircraft to X-Plane standard easily as well.
I have been flying X-Plane for around 4 years now and have upgraded to every new version that has come out...and things are only getting better.

If you go to www.xplane.com there is more information about converting from MS to X-Plane. If you are after some really nice new jets or prop driven aircraft then head over to forums.xpilot.com to see what is coming next. The last place to check is www.x-plane.org as this has mostly all the freeware and payware aircraft you could ever need.

Slainte,
