It really is a good month for FS eh? The Mustang is almost here. Orbx is is turning out airports. RealAir has a hot looking Lancair almost ready to go. Milviz has their B-55 Baron on finals. We just got a nice freeware Ercoupe. Bill at Lionheart is revamping his fleet with nice updates. Vertigo has a Stearman almost ready. 'think Golden Age Sim has a Ryan STA nearing the 'soon' stage. PMDG is working away at their DC-6 and 777...probably a few months out still. Who knows, VRS might suprise us and say Tacpak is done. :lol:

Yessir, it is a good time to be a flightsim geek :D

I know.. we are releasing the B-55 (very close), but I will be getting the P-51 and Stearman... Going to be a busy month! To think that when the B-55 hits the streets we are immediately going into beta on another bird. Busy busy busy.... Don't forget REX Essentials (another product I am watching) either!

Its nice to see all this fantastic stuff coming out.. yes. I also have to thank Microsoft in a way, cause if a new FS had come out, we would all have had to start from ground zero again.. tweak, tweak.. you get the picture.

At least now its caught up with the current hardware.. and all the addons are only making it that much better.

As it stands, I cannot wait for some of the stuff to be released, most of which is just SOO close to each other, I know one week I'm going to be so broke its not going to be funny. :)

Sim away--->>>!!!

I dunno about that Baron 55, its 3D model don't necessarily look like a Baron, some shapes are off...

Otherwise, yes, A2A's releases and Orbx's releases are very exciting

Speaking of releases, Scott said they were working on some updates about 2 - 3 weeks ago. I wonder if the update was the screenshots, or if he meant a video. If he meant a video, I wonder how the progress on that is coming along.

Don't forget PMDG's Dash-8!
And that Beech 55 looks pretty sweet.

The Dash-8 is coming?? I have been following the DC-6 thread, and waiting for news of a BBJ version of the NGX. If we look really far ahead the obvious Accu-sim F-104 is high up on my pri-list, and most likely the Spitfire MkV as well. Hangar is definately getting crowded these days though.

I don't know about that Stearman; flight dynamics look way off. I mean look at how fast the roll rate is at 1:29, (or perhaps the video is sped up).
