Ira - I'm in the queue for that X-Plane model of the Europa if you 
can give me a clue where to get it! (Who's Wayne???) I'm happy to be 
a beta-tester if that's what it takes. I agree that the method of 
modelling in MS FS is a bit flakey and that X-Plane takes the proper 
route. This was all expounded in the EAA magazine earlier this year - 
I was surprised they were so honest as they (like many others) 
usually seem to be in Microsoft's pocket. I cancelled my EAA renewal 
this year because they wouldn't do back numbers on CD for Mac after 
initially promising that version would be available. A great pity as 
the basic technology is cross-platform (browser + PDFs) - they just 
had embedded a windows-only search engine too deeply in the design.

regards

Rowland
