Ok so this piece of software is absolutely stunning!!! for a simmer who is right into vatsim or flying heavy tin (such as myself) this is a absolute MUST! its all to easy to just arm the App and let George land but spend some time with this beauty and you'll be hand flying ILS's down to minimas spot on. One thing i do like about it is that you can download the latest METAR or setup your own weather scenario from CAVOK to CATIII. day or night, crazy ass crosswinds you name it. another feature which is a bonus is that you can set your transponder to 7701, once you've completed your approach, set the parking break and it auto reloads the approach so you can give it another crack! brilliant. Set your transponder to 7702 with a crosswind and same as before one you land and apply the parking break it auto reloads the same approach but increases the cross wind to 5kts stronger.
Truly hands down a awesome addon! i'm going to give it 9.5/10

Chris you have flown into Christchurch on a N/west day? will it create a similar weather affect or maybe you not tried this yet , mind you in saying that this would not control the graphics or change the weather engine ? to suit .... 9.5 to the 10 rating is extremely good.

Yes Ian many times during my training i fondly remember getting the absolute cr@p kicked out me me when flying into NZCH on a blustery NW day. Haven't tried what you have just said Ian but the reason for such a high score is because this works flawlessly for such complex A/C such as PMDG and the like. Fudge up the approach and go around and the missed approach is all pre programmed into the FMC. thumbup1.gif
