Just bought the FSD Piper cheynne 400LS last week and got it on friday (Ordered CD Since I only have 56K..Sad)

Anyways I took off from 1g3 (Kent State University Airport) and flew down to KPHD (New philadelphia Ohio, Harry cleaver field) for some lunch...

The following picture shows the plane parked outside the restaurant located on the airport...

Note: The real restaraunt is not a Denny's, but sinply called "The Hangar" food is good though..Smiley (Been there in real life...)

yep that is so true...I was having a problem with this incessent beaping after about 5 minutes of flight...so how do you fix it?

Why you pull up the fuse panel and start removing fuses until the beeping stops...then you know what is cuasing it and you can research what to do to fix it...Smiley

Turned out my pressurization system wasn't set right...turned the knob at the right point and I was all set..Smiley

And the flight characteristics are very realistic In my opinion anyway..Smiley Since this is the only plane that I ever flew...Smiley

For the real flight we just basically went up to the north of the airport, circled around and everyone got about 10-15 minutes of time at the controls...so it would be fairly hard to fully recreate the flight...

(The real flight was about 90 minutes..Smiley)

The flight in the sim to KPHD from 1G3 takes about 7-8 minutes depending on how you set the plane up..I usually don't go full throttle..Smiley

Ive had that payware for a while and enjoy flying it. FSD always delivers a great product so far as I am concerned.

Regarding screens, try irfanview.com

Its what I use for mine. Granted its a 'take screenshot' alt tab to irfanview, and paste, then reduce the size to 800x600, save...rince and repeat, but I have yet to have a shot go over the maximum allowed, and I think mine tend to be pretty clear (my humble opinion only)
