9 years ago May 4th 2013 (Star Wars day!), me and Chris Hulme opened the doors on our little virtual airline, and here we are still going, 9 years on! It's an exciting time with MFS now coming to the fore and in the coming year I think we're going to be very busy, although at this time the path is still a little unclear in places (MFS "study level" turboprops anyone?. Thanks for joining us on the journey so far.

Hi Stephen, Welcome aboard! I plan on paintingthe new Q4XP but last time I looked they hadn't released the paint kit for me to do so

Hi everyone,

Just joined because I brought the Q4XP for Xplane do we have a livery for it? if we don't then what livery should I/can I use? and when will there be one?

Updated build recommendations for 2022. Graphics cards are still silly money at the moment so if you are self-building you may wish to reuse your old graphics card until later in the year when the RTX 4000 series makes an appearance.

i5 12th generation overclockable (£985 without graphics card, £1500 with an RTX 3060 12 GB) https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/rZjxGL
i5 12th generation non-OC (£770 without graphics card, £1300 with an RTX 3060 12 GB) https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JXdQZw

Update: I have now built the i5-12400F system myself, although I've reused my old GTX980. It's pretty quick, will out perform a i7-10700k in most cases.
