That is a nice screen, again one aircraft I missed flying on but lucky to see it doing its Welcome me the the NZ skies , that would have been 1982 ... as it ripped in overhead .

Nice one Sean!

You do it well Sean

Nice one....Seriously considered this but....for some reason I don't like flying turboprops...hence why my Herc doesn't get out much

How can you not love: Rockwell OV-10 Bronco, SOCATA TBM 850, DeHavilland Twin Otter or the C-130?? You fascinate me

Apart from the Hercules I don't have any of them..Tempted by the Bronco and Twin Otter but I am time limited and I really have enough aircraft as it is.

I really haven't put aside time to learn to fly fix wing turboprops properly so that is part of the issue. I spent sometime in FS9 trying to fly the Cap Sim Herc and doing the start up etc for about an hour getting to the runway and the engines stopped...very frustrating!

For now I will stick to my piston A2A aircraft (and other warbirds & GA aircraft). The only payware non piston aircraft I have is the Milviz Bell 407 (I need to drag this out again), Capt Herc 130 (gathering dust and not flown much at all), the Virtavia A4 and Lotus L-39 (both flown reasonably regularly).....I might jump to a biz jet if a really good one gets released. What it really comes down to is that I'm time limited with a family etc.

I understand! I don't really care for small VA in the sim, since it's so different from real life. Everyone has it's liking Btw, you might want to keep an eye on the upcoming Carenado Hawker 850 businessjet and the upcoming Lionheart Creations Lear 25 if you look for businessjets of high quality.

I used to fly all sorts in the sim - roaries, vacuum cleaners, and rumblies alike. But in recent years, what used to be great sounds have become just irritating noises, so now it is just pistons for me, preferably the radial variety

Yes have my eye on the Hawker...I see they are now making a Citation 550 (as is Eaglesoft)

I saw it too! Finally some businessjets! There are too few businessjets for FSX/P3D, glad they are coming!

Btw, Eaglesoft is doing a Citation II with steam gauges, and I assume Carenado is doing one with a glass cockpit. So it's just what you prefer, but I think Carenado will finish it first, since I haven't heard anything from Eaglesoft in a very long time.

I did like their Citation X , saw that in Christchurch many times parked , Steve Fossett's private jet , dang that was a pretty thing !

Love that bird !
