[Requests for aircraft/airport add-ons]

I am curious about the A320 Freighter program (P2F) that Airbus currently has going. Will the freighter version make it's way into the A320/321 currently offered by Aerosoft, if so will it be an update to the software or an add-on?

LOL, my only problem now is to figure out this Fatal Error in FSX. Once I have that figured out, I'll be happy until the new FS comes out.

[A new simulator]

I was reading the "Topic: ease of use", and I must say that the reading was petrifying. Do you realy intend to make a sim less complicated than the FSX?

Well, then it's not a sim, but a game. Don't even think of makeing the New AFS less complicated. Don't forget that FSX is one of the "games"/sims that people that are more than 13 years old use. Maybe you Mathijs do not want to use some hours to learn how to use a plane that you have bought, but for the old retired MD-11 pilot there is a must that the simulator is realy a realistic simulator.

IF you intend to make a new simulator, make it good. For thouse who dont know how to fly, learn to fly. Use the Cessna before you jump in to a bigger plane. If You(Aerosoft) make a less complicated sim than FSX, you have allready lost in the competition with FSX and X-plane. I must say, even the newbees wan't realism. Make it possible to have auto engine start, and all systems go like in FSX, so the people that do not know how to use the sim can try to fly the plane anywhy, while they are learning. If you want to earn monney on the arcade people, well I have a proposal.

AFS 2012 Arcade(play)

AFS 2012 Standard(real simulator, better than, and more realsitic than FSX and X-Plane)

AFS 2012 Pro(Professional)

I was really dissapointed when i read the "Topic: ease of use", it was like being stabbed in the back.

Realism realism realism, is the onely way to go, i hate it when games and simulations just end up like a grapicaly orgasm with less playability or realism.

If Aerosoft go for less realism, then I will hold on to FSX untill a better sim comes. Maybe I have to go over to X-plane. There is a reason to why complex addons are made for FSX, and that is because people want them, and they want to learn how to use them. FSX was made for the future, and therfore you have to gett a new PC to run it. And still my PC is not bigg enough.

Well they could follow the FSPassengers ratings. You start in a Cessna and work your way up in the sim. Once you have reached enough flight time you can switch to another aircraft (after your company buys it).

[Topic: Lights... I see the light!]

LOL, one more thing. Could you put some flashing amber lights on the airport service trucks? I can't tell you how many times I almost run over an airport fuel truck because I was watching other aircraft around the terminals. Any maybe add some of the new transportation laws from the US. If something like a security breach happens at an airport and your taxiing to the terminal, ur told to hold until further notice.

[Topic: Lights... I see the light!]

Also, don't know if this is the right post for this, but when declaring an emergency using FSPassengers, has no consequence in FSX. You change the transponder to the emergency frequency and FSX cancels your flight. Be nice if you set the emerg freq and a controller contacts you and asks what's up. Also be nice to see emergency equipment waiting for you at your destination or alt landing point when you arrive after declaring an emergency. Be kinda interesting to watch the landing from the view of the firetrucks! Just a thought I'd throw into the mix.

[Topic: Lights... I see the light!]

I'd just like to be able to see the airports lights, especially the identifier from the Tower (wht/grn -- Civilian, wht/wht/grn -- Military) like normal airport lighting. I have an addon for FSX that lets me set the intensity of the lights along with scenery textures "XGraphics from HiFi Flightware". I also use 3D Light Redux, and it helps somewhat. But if you fly and need to land in a hurry, I really don't think the Air Force wants you dropping in for a visit.
