Mayo is there but it won't be exactly as it is on the ground. A lot of the buildings are 'best guesses'.

New update is a crock. Game seems to riddled with problems since. Crashes to desktop, camera bugs, VFR map, downgraded graphics, unresponsive cockpit.

Not the sort of game you want to be buggin out after a 3 hour flight, was a much better game day 1 imo.

Anyone been able to do an update to Shannon yet? Kills me with no parking

I'm working on it at the moment. All parking, jetways and runways will be correct. No custom buildings though, just stock hangar models and terminals, that's where my skills end:)

Any recomendations on a GPU for this game?

Turns out my decent PC isn't good enough for this.....

I can't be a full size tho I can only use the half sized ones and struggling a bit to get the right one.

Finally have Shannon complete and ready to go. Give it a whirl lads and let me know what you think

Anyone got a list of airfields in Ireland? Saw two I didn’t recognise on a streamer’s map as he passed them, EICD and EIIB. Mystified as to what they’re supposed to be...

Comhrá · 18-10-2020 9:02am

EICD Castlebridge Airport, Wexford.

EIIB Inishboffin Airfield (Closed). Galway.

Inisbofin sounds right, but I don’t think the EICD on the map a few miles away was Wexford. Clifden maybe? Anyways I’d say it’s closed as well as Inisbofin. I’ll just have to take a look when I get this myself (in a few years unless I win the lotto

Bit late to the party but is anybody aware if this has been available to purchase in any over the counter walk in stores here ? Or if it will be ? My internet connection has been fairly unreliable for downloading and am keen to get my mitts on a legit hard copy if possible anywhere. Thanks you

Can get the boxed version over on Amazon if that’s any good to you:

Great job! Didn’t know about this thread and had said to one of my friends who plays this how bad Shannon was and he pointed me in this direction. Tried it out this morning and it’s a brilliant job! Lots of lads around Shannon this morning too.

The thrustmaster Officer pack was released today and out of stock it appears today also.

tony1980 · 22-10-2020 6:15pm

Which planes are you guys using the most? I am really enjoying the TBM 930 but lots of bugs so far, just getting used to getting around them.

Adyx · 22-10-2020 7:02pm

Possible solution for those with no joystick here.

I have a decent HOTAS but wouldn't mind building my own rudder pedals/control panel.

I pre ordered the throttle it on Amazon. Says it's delivering by 28th but I doubt it will. I bit the bullet and got the flightstick last month. Glad I did.

I've spend my most of my time in the TBM 930, it's great for just getting around and sightseeing a large area, also the x cub and savage cub for low and slow

Been in the MB339 the last few days tho getting used to it

I preordered it on Amazon a month ago and it's supposed to be delivered by Wednesday. Considering there's people on Reddit who preordered it in August and have had their orders cancelled, I'm not holding my breath.

The only place you can get it is from price gougers on eBay selling it for at least twice the RRP.

In saying that, you would think you would have gotten an email by now...

Their twitter account gives some hope....

If you pre-ordered in on Amazon France and you have not received an email, it is possible that you will still receive one shortly.

If you have not placed an order yet or if your order gets cancelled, you will have to wait for the items to be restocked. ETA to follow...

I still have some hope, but not much. People in the UK would have had a delivery date of 23 October. Mine is 26 to 28 October so I imagine if I get an email it will be in that period. With other items I pre-ordered on Amazon I would have been charged by now.

My TCA Airbus sidestick and thrusters arrived today. Really polished hardware, it all looks and feels great. The stick is a joy to fly with. The thrusters need some patching (which I think is coming soon) but again they also feel great to use.

Now I just need to do some PC upgrading to get the most out of everything!

Direct from TM, back at the start of August. It was originally due to ship at the end of September, then got pushed back to end of October.

Board Walker · 26-10-2020 3:50pm

I saw for sale on the TM site but when i clicked into it it said out of stock. Had a brief moment!
