Macster, thank you for your amazing insight into X-Plane!
I was a little frustrated at the demo version (a meer 6 minutes to see if you like it or not!) but after reading a lot of the online materials I could find and then your detailed comments I went an ordered myself a copy!
I love the fact you can install the 3rd party ATC function.... Even if they are a little baity, I guess making it as real as possible will help me out in the long run.
Look forward to getting it in the post shortly!
