Hi Tony,
Don't ya just hate it when that happens. Little snippets about new product etc etc and then whammy! they sneak the new 70/100 model onto a payware site. I wish they'd be a bit more up front and say something like "Hey guys, we're going payware with a new version over at DA". I'm assuming it's going to be payware (unless DA are going freeware :think: - not!) and the existing 70/100 will stagnate at it's current level. Who knows, the F28 may even migrate to DA as well ? I hope not as the F28 has a place reserved in my hangar - I hope they do an Air Anglia repaint.
Rgds

On 27 May, Project Fokker posted this -
At this moment we are supporting developments from DA to push the Fokker-100/70 for FS use to an incredible high level. Sophisticated and realistic gauges will match 100% to real and include functional FMC, weather radar, VC and much more. Gauge programming and beta testing are progressing very well. More information later.
On 21 October, they posted this -
Now at DA forum you can preview screenshots of the forthcoming new Fokker-70/100 panel. Read also an introduction message from Florian Praxmarer who highlights the panel features and more in great details. This sophisticated panel now under development will be demonstrated at the PROJECT Fokker stand at FS-event in The Netherlands on November 4 and 5. Come and visit us and meet with Florian and DA.
I get the impression that there will be some sort of agreement for the panel to be free and the model (not PF's) to be payware since PF is only supporting the panel side of the project. It may also be that only the panel will be payware.
Also, where does one buy DA products? They have no link to purchase anything of theirs on their website.

hi
I've already tried Project Fokker F28.... Even it is not the MK-4000 version it flies great!!! the only flaw I've found is that from interior wing view the ailerons do not move... however you can see flap animation.
it is a great model anyway... you'll be astonished looking it eating gas so fast!!

Thanks Hinch.
Had a look and found their free Alctraz scenery. Never liked that bland lump of rock in the default.
Sorry about the O/T.

No I´ve tried the final version which is yet available... you se the model at project fokker? I was the one who did that repaint... TAME VA in Ecuador is the only VA aproved by Project fokker to use this model yet.
