  1. Yeah...weather engine sucks in X-Plane. They really should work on this, cause has been a big lack in this sim since the beginning. Now they basically built everything, even the less important things, and they should focus on weather. But at least someone is trying to make an effort to be more realistic.
    By the way I'm almost an I.R. pilot now, and I know that ice will likely build on tail before wings...so why the tail of the DC3 is perfectly clean? I'm seriously considering to buy this bird in near future, and would be really nice to fly it in adverse weather conditions and in difficult procedures on remote airports!!!

  2. I lost one hour programming the fmc...then I had no more time to fly the plane. Each error forced me to start again and I found many problems in putting some waypoints (North Atlantic coordinates for example). And I did not understand how to save and recall flight plans. This fmc (and the push-back) is horrible and I hope it is my fault because otherwise I will, again, request a refund for that purchase, as I did for the 747-8.

  3. I think this is a good scenery, even if it appears a bit "flat" (for example in the runways textures) and also too much polished...everything seems almost new...and Heathrow it is not clean and new. For this I think the price is a bit high even if the effort for developing it was for sure hard!

    I've put some decals also on the ground textures and on apron/taxiway textures and all seems a bit more real...you should try this!

     

    I had a conversion of the FSX version of this airport and to me it seems a bit better in texturing, but probably it is a matter of personal tastes...

  4. Hi, please note that this scenery is again available under a new brand: MB-Sceneries. SkyHighSim is no more now, and I published with the errors pointed out in the review fixed. At the moment it is available on the X-Plane.org Store.

     

    For all the existing customers I'm working out a solution to give them the updated package.

     

    Thanks to all customers and to X-Plane Reviews for the review!

  5. Hi stephan! Updates to LYBE are under way...even if i thought the vivid overlays would have pleased many customers...i fixed them to a more natural colors.

    For the "gateway airports" problem...this it is not a real problem if the correct exclusions are put in the scenery, if the are not it is easy to find overlapping objects! I do not know why many payware sceneries are still affected by this problem...it is easy to solve!

  6. Thanks for the review. I want to add a bit about the flight behaviour in comparison to the real one (if anyone wants to tell me a different opinion, go ahead ;))

    In regard of the real behavior, I find the whole envelope nicely done. Stalling is a bit easier in the real one (rspecially power-off clean stalls), and I find the engine quite underpowered (but I have mostly flown a C172R, so there is some difference). Two point that disturbs me greatly though (and I hope someone at carenado reads this):

    -the plane floats way more in the flare in reality in my opinion (an to much flared approach in reality could take me 3-5 seconds flare time until the speed decays enough, while in this plane, if. i approach with standard Vat of 65kts and Flaps 2/3, I nearly fly the plane into the ground),

    -and its waaaay to sensible to wind (max certified CWC is 15kts, if I need full rudder AND about 50% differential brake pressure to keep the plane on the runway at 5kts CWC, something feels off)

    Whats your opinion in regard of this?

    I fly real c172n and I completely agree with you.
