I hope there will be provisions for an RXP GNS 530/430 combo

Oooo, I do like the look of the inside textures... I can seem me having to buy a yoke and throttle set up for this one...

Re: Alphasim Islander...
Yes.. looks like they've moved up a gear I'm not known for buying FSX products but I could be tempted if, as you say, the price is right. Any Concorde sixty quids and I'll have no hesitation in leaving it well alone

Re: Alphasim Islander...
Anyone been in a real one? If so, are you as close to the tarmac as it looks in the screen shots? looks like you're almost as near to the black stuff as me ol' mini, compared to most kites at least!

I think this is one of those things you're never gonna get right in any version of flightsim mate.. the perks of seeing a 3D world on a flat screen

Re: Alphasim Islander...
I had the pleasure of jumping out of one at Peterborough Parachute Centre! The seats were taken out and you sat on the floor... and yes, it sat VERY close to the ground, quite a rush watching the grass flash past so close on take off with the rear door removed...gordon-in-aberdeen wrote:Anyone been in a real one?

Re: Alphasim Islander...
I just hope the soundset is decent. The Islander makes a rather unique noise inside.
