FSX Kneeboard

Hello all. I am currently designing a freestanding FS9/FSX knee-board app and am looking for input as to what people would like to see in it as far as usefulness in the FS environment. It is an app that will be bundled with another FS software developer (after beta testing) and am interested to know...

Re: Time to Talk Acceleration?

Yes it can be discouraging, especially for those who are not inclined toward utilizing patience but, flying requires skill and only through hours of practice can we attain it. Not all of us can have or afford the privilege of flying in the 'real world' so, for those who dream of flying every day, op...

Re: SAX textures for Wilco 737/Airbus series

Airbus book looks interesting enough. I'll ponder it while I'm finishing my newbie-time. Still have another 25 or-so hours to go. So much flying, so little time.....So many other things -must-do... :? I have Wilcos A300 series and like it very much. If we do not already have textures fitted for it, ...

Re: SAX textures for Wilco 737/Airbus series

I concur. On decent, I had to rein it in as it wants to go to 'warp speed'. My landing on touchdown was 136 knots@263 fps whereas I usually touchdown around 113-121 knots Aileron control was also a bit odd. It was not the worst model I've flown but certainly not the friendliest, either. It'll work i...

Re: SAX textures for Wilco 737/Airbus series

To close out this thread... :shock: Flew PAFA->PABR with the POSKEY 737-700 and it flew. Much heavier in it's handling. You need to plan your turns a little more in advance than with our stock BBJ. Granted, I had a full belly of fuel but.. There was a marked difference and I can see how people would...

Re: SAX textures for Wilco 737/Airbus series

Oh and as an aside, still going to Frys and pick up Wilco's Airbus! I do not care for the Airbus we currently have and want to spend the 25 odd hours
I have to spend in it to be moderately realistic. Yea, I wouldn't mind SAX textures for it.

Re: SAX textures for Wilco 737/Airbus series

Alas, you are right-on about PMDG and FS9.. Well, I'd be happy to eval Opensky's model for inclusion and I'd be happy to develop a paint job to-boot. Which Opensky model? the BBJ? I am particular to their models as they put a great deal of detail into them. No VC but, it's free! I'll download the BB...

Yep. Gonna pick of PMDG 737 and the Airbus addon tomorrow at Frys. I want to get them setup with the SunAir Textures. By next month I hope to move up to the Airbus (another 30 hours?... yea I can do it) The only flying I do now-a-days are SAX flights and I want to get more out my of equipment then t...

Re: SAX textures for Wilco 737/Airbus series

I do not have the PMDG but what I'm doing is: whichever a/c models (mfr's) we focus on for your flights, I would like to be able to go and buy the versions compatable
with what we have or can make textures of. Let me know which addons I should get to be compliant with our current textures.
Thanks!

SAX textures for Wilco 737/Airbus series

I am going out to pick up the Wilco 737Pic and Airbus series at Fries but want to know
if anyone already has the texture files compatable with the Wilco A/C for our VA.
Thanks!
