Flight 1's newest stuff??

[Gary R.]

Hey, any of you flying the Super 80 yet??  How is it?  Hard on frames?  What's the trainer mode like?  Just considering it, that's all.  What about F1's Pilatus PC-12?  Any thoughs on that one?  Thanks..

I have the PC-12......It's okay. Kind of dated in my opion. With all the new stuff I'm gettin' kinda spoiled.
If your coin tossing......Get the Super 80. I Cant' get it this week, but will get the first of next week!
I just wish I could acess the forum.....kinda weird that you cant' hear whats' goin' on! They move alot of stuff (post's) out of the public forum to the "Members Area"???????

I've got tons of payware, and the Super80 is my favorite of them all. Even beats the PMDG 737NG and 744, the RealAir Spit, the AlphaSim Catalina, the AerialFoundry F-18, Wings of Power stuff, and so on...

It's just such a complete addon.

Excellent on frames. The VC textures takes about 3 seconds to load, but after that you'll get VERY, VERY, VERY high FPS in the VC.

Greatly detailed model, despite of the excellent frames. Some of the best texturing I've ever seen, up there with the CaptainSim C-130.

The learning system is great if you don't know much about the DC-niner in real life.
You can choose to be guided through, start up-, taxi-, takeoff-, after takeoff-, climb-, cruise-, descent-, before landing- and shutdown procedure.
Which means that for instance under startup, an arrow will be pointing at, lets say the fuel pump buttons, and a little text will say if they should be activated or deactivated.
That way you'll quickly get the hang of it.

The PC-12 I don't own, but the Super80 I can say is a must have- 10/10.

Now that sounds like quite the addon. Wish more would have an intuitive virtual help manual, instead of trodding through 350 pages of lingo fit for a commercial pilot, and 500 hours of trial and error
