the CRJ200SF version is a great one, it’s cool that you were allowed to share it with us.

Looks like ORBX has started releasing their Washington airports we loved so much in FSX for X-Plane11:
1S2 Darrington:
74S Anacortes:
WA56 Israel’s Farm:
Glad to have these favorites back, but I’ve ordered a 2TB hybrid SSD as True-Earth Wa and UK have filled up all my existing 1TB of combined SSD space.
PS. Looks like if you own these for FSX the 40% cross-platform discount shows up for these as well

I just picked up Darrington and Anacortes…
I almost threw Israel’s Farm in the basket too, but noticed that if you intend to buy the HD enhancement for TE Washington, Israel’s Farm comes with it. So, I guess I will wait on that.

This looks interesting. I’ve not bought or owned any of the SimCoders Reality Expansion packs, but I’ve heard very good things about them. They basically apply their own modifications to another product to make them more realistic (pretty much any Carenado product could benefit from more realism). The newest one is for the Carenado PC-12…so I might actually be interested in this one:

-
Realistic stall speeds & behavior
-
Realistic climb speeds
-
Realistic cruise speeds
-
Realistic Weight & Balance

It looks very comprehensive. Carenado aircraft are perfect candidates for this type of upgrade.

Geeze. Someone has not been reading my AARS from the Air Race thread ;-). I have been using the REP with the Carenado Beech F33A Bonanza (link)… I really like the walk around bits and the expanded ‘reality’. When I saw this announcement yesterday, I added the Carenado PC-12 to the short list for the next sale

I agree - I have the REP for the default Cessna 172 and I also have the Super Cub that comes with it. While I like my other modules (JustFlight Piper and Duchess, vFlyteAir Piper), I like the REP interface and options the best.

The Milviz Turbo Otter is out on the Org Store. I’m thinking it will be a great Air Hauler aircraft…

Hope they will port to XP also their PC-6

They have a few there that I would be interested in if they were ported over to XP11.
I’m probably going to pick up the Turbo-Otter. I skipped the Cessna 310 because I had only just purchased a 310 a couple of weeks before the MilViz version was released, and I didn’t see the point in having two of them.
So far I like it. She feels suitably heavy on the controls, and it doesn’t need a lot of runway. Definitely a nice addition to my virtual hangar.

This is a nice and unexpected surprise - FlyJSim have updated their original Q400 to what will now be referred to as the Q400 Legacy. Basically it is an update to their old Q400 (from ten years ago!) to work with the current version of X-Plane with some graphics upgrades as well. Important to note this is not the version of the Q400 they are working on as sort of a version 2…that one promises to be way more in depth I believe. But this is a nice little bump for those of us that have had the Q400 for many years.
-
Updated to 11.35+ flight model. Now with increased drag and better handling
-
Fixed engine start-up. This was an issue caused by system changes in 11.30 and should be back to the regular start-up procedure
-
Physically Based Rendering textures. Exterior textures should now have a more believable glossiness and metalness effect.
-
Menu graphics updated
-
Manual graphics updated
-
PFD colours changed. Should be much more vibrant to the eye.
-
Startup sound volume reduced

Sounds like a good way to keep the current crop of customers happy and maybe entice them to buy the updated version when it’s released.

Exactly. And the panel does really look nice. They upgraded the EICAS page or whatever it is called…looks much more readable.
