Hey All,

Just gone onto flightsim to see that the 747-8I that SkySpirit2011 was developing has been released.

Here is the link:

You must know that Hiroshi and Yosuke are both residents of Japan. That they released this so soon after the disaster is simply amazing to me. This is because everything with the model was completed prior to the disaster. That being said, you also must know that FSX takes a back seat, with our without a massive earthquake. Have some patience. Hiroshi models for FS9 first.

the posky crj-900 was one which was planned for being recompiled for fsx and it never went ahead, can only hope this won't be the same case...

The POSKY CRJ-900 was designed by Nick Wilkinson. Nick has left the FS hobby, and now drives a truck for a living. So, don't look for an FSX update from him anytime soon, or at all.

Hiroshi patched quite a bit of Nick's model, and he's the one who exported the final model

FSX model is definitely in the works (as opposed to not at all) judging by one picture referring to an FSX model in the Facebook group, just depends when it'll be out especially with the situation Japan's in.

I hope they do release the FSX model, the fs2004 model has its problems such as with landing in fsx (i know i know its for fs9 not FSX)
But considering all thats happening in japan am surprised that they released the model. But great work as usual :)

It's makes me laugh when all of the FSX users bitch and complain that something was released for FS9 first. Sort of a sweet revenge for us FS9 die-hards that must suffer through FSX only after FSX only release.

I don't beleive there is any revenge to be had (it seems almost 'spikefull' that people think that way). In an ideal world aircraft should be released for both FS9 and FSX users at the same time.

Like the PA A321 :P, plus, when the 748F came out there were FSX models alongside, it's not like we're complaining directly to SkySpirit like "OMG RELEASE FSX MODEL NAO #$@!&^!@*^#"

I am grateful that they released the model especially with all that's happening in Japan. I was shocked when I saw that they released the model. But like I said I HOPE they release a model for FSX as well. We are not (at least me) nagging and bitching and demanding for a FSX model. Regardless of whether they release one for FSX or not, its still a great model to fly and all we can be is grateful that's is free.

you have to trim the aircraft to around -4.0. The group even admits that their is mass balance issues. They even go as far as saying that they will update FDE later. For now just rim and it should work fine. Also leave Center 2 empty in the Fuel Section that should help also.
