Does anyone have any idea of when the fleet library will be updated? Because it needs to be badly.

Whoops. wrong thread. For example, the A340 and the Embraers is what i meant.

Is there a decent FSX A340 freeware panel available?

I don't use it, but is the Thomas Ruth a good A340? I haven't had much luck installing it though, so I can't tell you if it's good or not. As for the Embrears, doesn't freeskyproject have any? Or do you mean the ERJ-170 and 190's?

i have found the whole package INCLUDING the AF livery and panel!

http://www.mediafire.com/?rttzljgzyuu

The model is by POSKY and the panel is by Hector Molina.

Shame that the VC doesn't work.

I have all of the thomas ruth AC and they all come with a nice working VC also. The A340 panel adjusment is a little nasty to figure out but once instsalled its a nice AC.
How about the ATR?

There are no good FSX DC-9 panels. HJG has a good aircraft, but the panel is FS9-only.

I'd like to have seat belt and no smoking sound chime when switch on panel overhead for Airbus 340 or Airbus 330.

Thanks,

I would also like the ERJs to be updated to FSX. The DHC-8, JS41, and MD-11 would also be nice for FSX.

We need the Project Airbus A320 model in our fleet. Not to knock IFDG's model but Project Airbus has a more realistic model, handles better and the framerates are more friendly while the textures are alot sharper than IFDG. The only thing the IFDG model has over Project Airbus is Wingflex animation but that will be negated when Pairbus releases their A320 V2.1. I've got a GREAT soundpack to go with it also. End of rant smile

I have one question. Why don't we have a DC-9 in our fleet? Delta Airlines still has those.

The L-1011 is another one. I think I've found that fs9 aircraft can work with FSX. I don't know if it would be possible for the installer to allow installing fs9 aircraft into FSX but perhaps giving a warning that it may not function correctly as it is for a previous version of FS... That could be nice. I don't mind taking a few chances...
