Has anyone bought these for FSX SP2?

I see the AC is very cheap.

How are they?

I was looking at the ATR and Airbus range.

Thanking helpers in advance  ;)

Abacus usually isn't worth it... Unless it's the Flight Deck series. And in that case, only look for the wire trapping itself. The planes are generally subpar with most modern freeware; never mind Payware.

I wasn't impressed with two of the Premier collection planes.  Weird artifacts like being able to see the ground through the dash due to some texture on the yoke.  They need to be updated for SP2/Acceleration.

The Platinum series is OK.  I recently bought the PBY5A and the Aviat Husky.  I'm a sucker for float planes.  They're both modeled fairly well, and I've only found a couple of issues.  You can't adjust the prop pitch from the VC on the Husky, you have to use the keyboard or an axis.  And although it has one Comm/Nav radio, there's no VOR.

The cool thing about their downloadable A/C is that you can try any and all for 7 days for free.  If you don't like them, just delete them.
