CommanderX 2 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Sounds good despite the fact that there will be no built in FMC. (I really don´t call the X-Plane standard FMC an FMC) Will it be possible to connect the ATR with UFMC from Javier Cortes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiflyer 129 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 This looks very cool, so far. In the beginning, I heard a lot about the increased detail levels of planes for XP10, but so far my socks have not been knocked off. Lets hope this plane imparts more impetus to the XP10 Aircraft market! And hopefully some colorful paint-jobs! XP10 desperately needs bright colors!

darem 106 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The Flight1 version for FSX isn't too bad, you know., A little bit dated, but nice plane nevertheless. I fly it quite often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMike 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Great news. I've given up on FSX and moved to XP10 & the Flight1 ATR was my favourite plane. Thanks Aerosoft. Now can I have London City too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempelhof 44 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Looks very nice. If it flies nice as well, then it'll make the transition to XP10 much less painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baber20 9 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Amazing !! The surface textures are really well executed. Brilliantly imitates the metal surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombayduck 7 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not sure if this has been asked before,...but would it be right for me to assume that developing add-ons for X-plane 10 is far more easier and quicker than for FSX? Not meaning to insult anybody, but with all due respect, it just seems as if add-ons for x-plane come out quicker. Besides this I would definitely want to congratulate you guys for the excellent work! As always, keep it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The Flight1 version for FSX isn't too bad, you know., A little bit dated, but nice plane nevertheless. I fly it quite often... I know I have it in my hangar, but I'm not flying it anymore. The virtual cockpit is just too outdated Lol.. big lol... As far as I know there is no FSX version planned. Yes, that's what I also thought when asking this question Honestly, I'd love to have a nice FSX ATR. I'm correct when thinking that it is not possible to merge the model from this one with the systems of the Flight1, correct? Not sure if this has been asked before,...but would it be right for me to assume that developing add-ons for X-plane 10 is far more easier and quicker than for FSX? Not meaning to insult anybody, but with all due respect, it just seems as if add-ons for x-plane come out quicker. At the moment they're coming out faster because the addon itself is (at least for sceneries) already developed and does only need a few modification to work in XP10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides this I would definitely want to congratulate you guys for the excellent work! As always, keep it up!! It's different, not really more or less complex. I think the fact so many X-Plane projects are being done is that X-Plane 10 is really a big step forwards. Developers see that. Of course we play our own small part in that.

mas618 34 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm not a X-plane user myself, but Aerosoft: You are my heroes because you have the guts and the visionary aspect to develop the FS community to the next level - be it X-pane, Prepar3D or Flight - I really don't care, as long as I see simming going from one level to a HIGHER level. You lead the way with this project. Not advanced or hardcore enough for me, but I think to really kick X-plane off, developers need the majority of simmers to take the jump to X-plane (or FLIGHT or what ever). And the majority of simmers are not me. The majority is the beer-drinking guy with a couple of hours to spare - like Mathijs so well put it in another thread. But once a platform is stable among a wide audience, it will encourage develepors to widen their products to also inlcude us really fanatics... All glory to Aerosoft (and Mcphat guys)!

smokeyupahead 3 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Nice plane but unfortunately I don't have xplane and all the addons I have are for fsx, I invested to much on this platform! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadim 3 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I invested much money on MSFS platform too, but i don't want to stay all of my life with FSX only. Looking forward with XP10! Thanks McPhat Studios 3D and Aerosoft for this awesome project! Sorry for my English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehead 126 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Mathijs, I don't see how that might lead to a lost licence. It looks like a standard Khe San style approach. High descent rate initially true, the GPWS just doing what it is designed to. Not normal routine, but certainly no problem for the airframe. Although with the 2 jumpseaters it did not look like revenue flight A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
