    Good luck!

    My experience with beta testing in FSX was that everything was pretty set in stone and mostly they were not looking for anything but "bugs".

    Wonder how the functionality of the shown 747-8 will be? I did get to fly the Dash-8F toward the end of my career. Quite a plane if not quite the skyrocket the 400 was.

    Nice development, I had a couple of my fellow aviators who flew these. The Willy Fudd project was one of my favorites for Milton, these look like a great follow on aircraft!
