Hi Dave,>>Have a look at some recent threads at avsim before jumping in Lee, there is some negative comment about the visual accuracy of the aircraft; it is only Beta but some doubt that it will be improved.
I was not planning to buy it until I had read reviews of it anyway, but I take your point. One wonders how they know about the visual model and that it won't be improved. Someone breaking NDA maybe? Many have raved about the 767 PIC and its FMC and other things and this does not inspire them to consider the Wilco offering? Find that strange too. Its always good to wait and see and try to make imformed decisions I think...
>>Greatest loss is the A340, DF was going to do one but
pulled the plug, Simbuild have closed their web site and
PSS said they weren't going to do one because there were
others doing the model.<<
PSS never actually said that. They have stuck to their published project list (A320, Dash-8, and maybe a new Concorde thereafter) - they have not said that they will not do the A340. If their current project list works and the time span of the A320 is anything to go by then it will be a while before they are in a position to consider the new project - and by then FS2004 will be upon us!
But there is always cause for optimism! Especially now as the current FS2002 is so good. Look at the wonderful thimgs being doen with mesh terrain? Great!
Take care,
