Hate to be a party pooper - But are you going to limit its operation to airports that have real world capability to handle the
aeroplane??? There ar'nt many and the costs of infrastructure changes required to handle it may still prove to be this beast's undoing IRL

Wish we could Leif, but we don't do that for any of the other heavies... So we rely on the honour system.

One thing I would like to see changed is the range of aircrafts, which you can read about here: http://www.fsairlines.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3174

True Justin

I'd read your post about range and Im in total agreement - just not sure how you would enforce it


Leif

Anybody who is using the Robert Verssluy version of the A380 who is experiencing that annoying bounce when switching to the external view might like to alter the staic centre of gravity height in the aircraft config file under the [contacts] section to "static_cg_height=11.349899".It is not perfect but it is a lot better than it was.Hope this is of help to someone.

Once Again, I highly, HIGHLY reccomend the Overland A380.

For 20 bucks, you get:

A319
A320
A321
A332
A333
A342
A343
A345
A346 AND
A380

Great models, and each one comes with a Virtual Cockpit.

I have the abacus version
It ain't that bad, got my version on sale some time ago at a best buy for like 20 bucks
It'll do nicely , A great addition to Flynet.
I can get it up outa PBIA and land rather nicely tyvm
but MIA would be nore realistic. just a stones throw from PBI in my A109

Lets see
MIA to PNL to ANC to LAX then back to MIA
maybe a stop in Dallas and Ny as well...
HAHAHAHA
