  1. Maintenance and service will take time! Some actions (like refilling oil) can be done manually. You can switch to Simple Mode (no damages) or Instructor Mode (Damages can be triggered or repaired instantly) if you are in a hurry, but the flighttime will be not be logged and special features are disabled. A game isn't much fun if you know the cheats, so those won't be available in the normale mode. ;)

    Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the DO-17, so I haven't experienced your maintenance/service routines. Can you clarify the sort of time that's involved? Will we need to leave the aircraft sitting idle while maintenance is performed? If so, can you provide a sense of the time required for one or two typical maintenance/service procedures?

  2. Guys, read the feature list:

    You asked for a feature list and here it is. We are impressed, you will be impressed!

    Avionics

    - GNS530 (by Reality XP, not included in the product)

    - GPS500 can be replaced by the GNS530 directly in the simulator

    Re: Katanas with Garmin 530's in real life, they're out there. This was the third hit I got for a Google search on "Katana panel Garmin 530." OK, it's an Eclipse, but close. And I believe Marcel's aircraft is modeled after a real-world example.

    Re: the 430 option, I seem to recall Marcel saying there was a panel sizing issue, but maybe he can comment - if his time permits, what with his finishing up the release candidate and all...

    EDIT: Paul G beat me to it. Thanks, Paul!

  3. Hello everyone,

    I have worked night and day in the hope of a pre-christmas release but it didn't work out. I didn't want to force a release by cancelling features or ignoring bugreports. At least it ensures domestic peace when there is no Katana stall horn drowning out christmas music. :D

    The testers kept me busy over the last weeks and did a great job on finding bugs. On last wednesday I had the chance to do some more sound recordings to enhance realism and the overall experience. Most of them have been implemented meanwhile.

    Merry christmas to you and your families!

    Have a nice time,

    Marcel

    No problem at all. Gives my wallet a chance to recover from the recent flurry of sales - and gives me something to look forward to in the new year. Enjoy the holidays - best to you and yours.

  4. Aha, thanks! Just ordered the book in fact.

    I haven't thought about it in years and I can barely remember what was in it. But it was a big bestseller - popular enough that they could refer to it in this ad and not have to explain anything about it. People were entertained by it. Whether it holds up or not... can't say. But let us know what you think... :D

  5. "Maybe real men don't eat quiche, but real men do fly Falcon ultralights" wtf????

    FYI: Real Men Don't Eat Quiche was a parody book that came out in 1982, about the same time as the ad (and about the same time that similar books like The Preppie Handbook were popular in the U.S.)

    To satisfy your morbid curisoity, see details HERE.

  6. Just wondering if this ever got posted. Have been keeping an eye out for it but might have missed it. If other things (like life) got in the way, that would make sense. But wanted to check.
