What`s New Jul-Dec 1998
Thursday,December 24
A significant event here at ATCO,as I announce the arrival of my new discussion forum.This is your forum,for any messages relating to flightsim,or real aviation,and I hope you will make use of it. At the moment it is on trial if it gets a poor response I`ll shut it down,as I can`t afford the time for maintainance if it`s not going to be used.Please feel free to leave a message at any time,I will stop by daily to check for new messages.
Check out The Forum.

Thanks to Joel Branchu,finally solved the problem of the tail triangle on the 737-300/400/500s in 3D mode.Because there are so many planes to be redone,only selected planes will be reproduced.If though there are lots of requests for certain planes,then they will be redone as well.At the moment,only British planes are planned to be reproduced.
Version 2 of the 737-500 afx is in production,all these planes will be re-made,with a new,improved visual model.
