Cheers for the heads up CP ..... i have it , but from a mere screen shot type person point of view , i dont think I'll bother.

" I'm pleased there is a good F-27 out there " .... so am I Ian , dont get me wrong ... so i will bother with the upgrade , and see if improves my (very subjective... sorry) view.
But your right " ya damn if ya do and ya damned if ya don't " , no one is ever happy , i guess we should just be grateful for what we have ... so , I'll shut up now

I will be interesting when the Devon is launched , I think today we really get spoiled for choice , at least there is continued backup and builds to keep everyone happy.

I've cut back and become more selective in my aircraft add on purchases now. I have such limited time available for simming that I need to fly the same 1 or 2 aircraft (turbo props or airliners) in order to stay current with procedures.
Something either has to be a real 'must have' or else another aircraft retired (at least from regular use) to make way.
