Re: Report on Boeing 737 NG Series Aircraft

Also many increase the speed at about MDA in prep for go around. Also, as Shaun recommends, I disengage the auto...

Re: Rotate MD-11 Released today!

I don't jump right into anything brand new. I watch the X-Plane forum almost every day to see how the different aircraft perform/improve. The review I posted was from Q8 Pilot. He is the main one I rely on, and always check with before acquiring any aircraft. Were Bergman and SpyFly flying the Beta ...

As a former real world pilot. I was sold on X-Plane the first time I flew it. I fly high and IFR , so scenery is not a issue for me. I didn't care for XP-9 because of the lack of scenery, but XP-11 changed all of that. After reading that article about the aerodynamics of the wing and the work done t...
