Well, sorry mr Gates and co for any nasty things I may have said about your software in the past. All is forgiven. I bought 2004 today and have just flown IFR from Auckland international ( that's in New Zealand ) to Hamilton via Westpoint NDB in the Baron 58. I could not believe how good this sim is. It's so realistic in the way it picked up the 12 mile arc for the VOR DME 36 at Hamilton. Adding 1% of my ground speed in miles to set my turn on point dropped me right onto the arc and then I watched the DME and ground speed bobble around just as it does in the plane. Man, the only thing this programme won't do is let you get out and take a pee at the terminal!  It's a really cool tool.  



Now if only they would release a patch that maybe fixes all those airports in craters, on mesas, in the middle of waterfalls, and those nonexistent Water airports Roll Eyes.

As long as we're dreaming...oh, forget it Roll Eyes
