I like Mike's stuff a lot. I've got just about all of his planes. He's got to be the most prolific aircraft addon creator out there. Some of his stuff is just plain awesome, like the Cessna 337. The number of repaints people have done for his 337 is testimony to how many people must be flying it. He also makes stuff that NOBODY else does, like the Dornier Seastar (one of my favorites). That said, I have found that his models often need some tweaking and adjusting to get them correct. With the Seastar, for example, the fuel capacity was way off, but once I got it fixed, it was great! I don't mind doing the tweaking at all myself, in fact I enjoy it. I usually give the panel a thorough reworking before I fly his planes too, but that's also a lot of fun. Firing up FS Panel Studio on a Mike Stone plane is something I always look forward to.
I'd be willing to guess that more people sim with Mike Stone's addons than any other. He gets more accomplished than many sizable teams.
Lets hear it for Mike and all his hard work! [smiley=beer.gif]
