That looks to be exactly what VRS TacPack seems to be promising to deliver in the not too distant future.

Very happy Christmas to all and a special thought to those of us (like me), who have a loved one serving their country overseas at this time of year. May your god bless you and keep them safe.

Huh thats nothing, we were so poor that we had to tickle grandad's nose with a feather and point him towards the Christmas tree to decorate it!

Mathijs, any thoughts on making it 3 activations per year rather than just 3 activations?

Very nice sounding system but if I might make one suggestion it would be that rather than have three activations allowed, that it could be changed to three applications be allowed per year. This would save quite a few users who update their hardware fairly often from constantly having to contact Aerosoft for re-activations.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Consider if you will this scenario: Person "A" has a valid serial which he releases to the pirate community. The number of pirates using this serial soon reaches 500. Eventually this comes to the attention of Aerosoft who understandably revoke that serial number. Meantime all pirates with that serial number attempt to update their ill gotten gains with the latest update. Without a further serial number input this would be no problem but if the serial number is checked once again while updating, then the update fails as the serial number had already been blacklisted by Aerosoft. A great saving for Aerosoft for a very small inconvenience for the lawfull user. A price well worth paying I think.

Good Job Jeroen!

Hi Guys. I've made three guides to go along with Jeroen's pictures, so anyone can study where the relative switches are when they are away from the sim. Please note that these are not official in depth guides, but just an explanation of each button Jeroen uses in his guides.

As you say this advanced version will not have FSX flightplan compatibility, I am assuming this is because sids and stars are not compatible with FSX flight planner. Isnt there a way to keep the present system as well? Or is it going to be a stand alone product? I cant believe we already have people demanding that the contents of the advanced version should be free to download for those who bought the original AirbusX. I bought the original knowing full well what I was getting for my money and more importantly, what I was not getting. I for one have no problem paying for the advanced bus. But please Guys make the manual screenshots Black and White printer friendly

Yes, thats what I meant. Just something to help the newbies learn a bit more.

No problem with keeping the pictures the same size Jeroen. What I meant for a key for each picture was just a list with each number saying what switch it pertained to so one could learn the switches without having to refer to the checklists but I realise this is probably beyond what you envisaged for this doc.

Thats great Jeroen! Now I dont want to be picky but if you want to make it even better it would be great if each picture was on its own page. Also if you want to make it totaly idiot proof, write a key for each picture so the user can learn the buttons and switches without having to refer to the checklists. No problems if you dont want to do this as I appreciate the work you have already put into it.

Don't think that peaople arent interested in this Jeroen, I am sure I am not the only one who is waiting for this. Many thanks for taking the time to do it. This is what Aerosoft should have included for the newbies this plane was designed for. Mathijs should give you a free product for the work your doing here.

That looks much better Jeroen. As for the idea of adding numbered pictures, thats good too. Maybe also think of adding numbered indicators to each of the controls and switches for the newbies to be able to find the correct switch. Just one thing though, if you do decide to do that, you should try and keep the colours compatible with B/W printers. Looking forward to see what you come up with.

Looks good but might I suggest that each section have its own page to make it more readable when printed on A4 for us short sighted oldies?
