I don't grasp the negative reviews, frankly, because this little gem flies beautifully, trims up nicely at any altitude, has all the instruments anyone could want, and is at home landing on land or water. It's a flying vagabond's dream, best used low and slow, exploring the landscape, letting your imagination create a story. Landing on a lake or river, wheels-up, and then taxiing to the shoreline, dropping the wheels and rolling up onto the beach means you can explore almost anywhere with complete freedom. Flight plans? What for, when the entire sky and world below are your oyster, to be savored slowly?I've had fun creating journeys for myself, using Google Earth to kind of plan legs to interesting places, adding a narration to screen shots to share with my family and friends on FB; they love it, and I'm having a blast being a tour guide. Starting with a flyby of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, then working my way down into the south of France to Provence and Marseille, into Italy to Lake Como, Venice, Forence (landing on the Arno), Rome, and now I'm headed for Naples. This isn't about running an airline, or completing a flight plan, although you could if you choose; it's about visiting places you've always read about in your imagination, like a motorcyclist who just takes off to see the country, with nothing but a gas station map and a sense of adventure.Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic, and I'm proud of it. I've been flying FS in one form or another since my Commodore 64 days, and I'm really happy to have discovered Steam, and FS-X. This add-on is just the icing on a very sweet cake. Thanks, Dovetail - you made my day with this one!. I have no idea where it is. I can see the files on my hard drive but FSX-SE just cannot "see"those files. I paid the money but .....I had to say something in the either...or recommendation. I have no idea if it's a good gameor not. My paid-for FSX-SE just cannot find it.. For those having a hard time finding the "flight plans" from the mission screen check the boxed for saved flights and then scroll down through the missions and you will see the Arabia missions (flight plans). Additionally, I don't understand why people are complaining about the flight mechanics of the included aircraft. I find it very easy to fly once everything is trimmed out. If you are looking to just explore in MS Flight Simulator this will assist you in doing so.. I was underwhelmed by this addon. Other than the plane (which is nice despite the lack of documentation), the addon has the feel of a community-based set of custom flightplans or something...no real missions, and even the "missions" that are there are hard to find.On a positive note...since most "missions" are just a flightplan, it has given me time to learn the radio a little better.This addon is NOT worth the $16.99 US they are charging.. I installed the Discover Arabia DLC this morning and have flown for about an hour and I am very disappointed. First off, the installation seems to be incomplete. The SeaRey shows up as a selection in the Change aircraft menu and I am able to select and fly it but there is NO documentation on the kneeboard (Reference or Check List). Furthermore, the aircraft is not in the C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\FSX\\SimObjects\\Airplanes folder. This seems strange to me because I was under the impression that FSX compiled the list of aircraft you can select from that folder. Also, the Discover Arabia missions do not appear in the Missions Menu. Steam did the installation behind the scenes so I don't think the above is a matter of pilot error.I am also having a problem flying the aircraft it seems to me to be very unstable along the lateral axis and I find it very time consuming to trim for straight and level flight or stay on the glide slope. When the first two issues are fixed I will revisit the issue of lateral stability and my recommendation.. The plane is essentially unflyable. It literally has GTA V physics. You can roll the plane three times at about 300AGL and not crash.. Not impressed. They are not proper missions. There is not instructions. Nothing on the knee-baord. Just loadable flights. For what they are this should have been priced around \u00a35 not \u00a313. Seems very poor quality for the price. Lets hope the DLC for FSX gets better than this.. You access the flight plans by loading them when in free flight mode and follow them in the aircraft using the GPS. I bought this add on when on offer at just over \u00a35 and recommend it, as not only do you get the plans but also the plane which for this price is good value for money. It covers an area of the globe that I don't often fly and has made things more interesting, particularly whilst using the FSX ATC.. its what it says it is if its not enough just go plan your own flights and get planes your self. Bought Discover Arabia, indicated supposedly downloaded, can not find on system anywhere. Attempted to print acknowledgment of ourchase, would not print out, no other e-mail received. Therefore, I have no new program that was paid for, and no way to prove that I purchased and did not receive. Please arrange to download again. Attempt to contact support, down for maintenance.Description of program sound like something I would like.
