Things are looking up for FSX

[Lateral-G]

Last year there was a dearth of aircraft for FSX.

This year we have a plethora of aircraft to choose from.

To name just a few:

A2A B377
Lotus L-39
AS PBY Catalina
Dino's T-45 & F-14
DG's Auster, Hunters
Piglet's many numerous contributions
Ivan Jurcaga's Mig-21
Tom Ruth's An-124

Plus there are many more in the immediate future.

Life is good for FSX! :guinness:

Lateral G - i agree!

I would add:-

Real Flight's Hellcat
Real Air's Duke
Flight Replica's Cubs
Cera's Bell 214
Carenado's Seneca

The latest wave of products has been, as you say, really good - so good I have hardly had anything to be grumpy about :engel016:

[MCDesigns]

Agreed! And lots of goodness on the way, Nemeth Puma, Flight1 B200, Milviz P-38, Sibwings Birddog, FTX PNW, FSAddon EmmaX, etc, etc................:ernae:

[Tweek]

Not only are the numbers growing, but the quality is better than it's ever been too. Only today I reinstalled the CS F-104, and soon noticed how dated it looked - and this was once considered a top notch addon! Of course, it's still very much acceptable, but if you compare, for example, the VC to that of the Lotus L-39, you'll see how far we've come over the past few years.

Ultimate Terrain X for Alaska *should* be out before year's end? Scheduled to have the first rendition of ProjectX, which is intelligently placed autogen and scenery objects. So the Flight1 forums say...

[bkeske]

What? No 'shout outs' to Bill for the Kodiak and Tailwind? :applause:

Don't forget his Epic too ;) .

[2Low]

What? No 'shout outs' to Bill for the Kodiak and Tailwind? :applause:
Definitely, and don't forget the P-47.

[deimos256]

Lets not forget the classics hangar FW190.
Also not to hijack the thread but where can i find that mig21? I remember a thread about it here and when i tried to search i got no results.

[Lionheart]

It took a while to figure the thing out...

A very sophisticated set of things to accomplish for that sim...

:isadizzy:

[bkeske]

Don't forget his Epic too ;) .

Man, was that only released this year as well? Bill is burnin some midnight oil this year :bump:

[FelixFFDS]

IT's the same thing that happened from FS98 to FS2000 to FS2002 to FS2004 to FS-X.

It took "longer" for FS-X to take hold because the rules (SDKs/SP) changed "too" often. Now that "what we have is what we'll get" for the foreseeable future - i.e. a stable set of rules to play by, we're seeing the results of developers "taking the plunge" (Some needed more encouragement than others - you'd be surprised how many times a certain lion-hearted fellow had to be thrown back into the FS-X swimming pool until he finally decided to swim...).

ALso, as people have been upgrading hardware, the models run better, etc.

[Piglet]

Felix said it all. With no "whats-FSX11-gonna-be-like " hanging over our heads, we are free and clear to just plow ahead and build planes.

Very good point Tim. Mike :running:

[stansdds]

I agree, the demise of the ACES team and FS11 means FSX is here to stay for a while. Developers, both freeware and payware, don't have to worry at this time about forward compatibility with another installment in the FS series.

[GT182]

And to add....

A2A Piper Cub.

[Zorg_DK]

And flight1's Cessna Citation Mustang and PMDG's MD-11
