Just a question

Sorry for the late reply;

The last thing I got from Abacus was the A380. I didn't like the textures, the cabin was less than desireable and while I know that there are no real specs on the air file, it flew rather sluggish.

IMO, there are a lot better payware companies, and freeware developers than Abacus.

Actually, that was the type of feedback I was trying to elicit  - specifics, etc.

Out of curiosity, could you try the F6F-5 model and PM to me the comments?  (obviously the exterior visual model is absolutely perfect and spot -on.. )

Sure thing. Why do you ask?

Who do you think made the exterior model and basic textures for the F6F-5?

[sarcasm] I don't know, but whoever it was, did a pretty bad job! [/sarcasm]

Actually they are rather nice. I posted a screen of it in the freeware forums.

i have it-its good.

here are some of the "good" things abacus has:

1) WWII carriar ops (ive got it and its preety good)

Of course!  There are some quibbles *I* have with some of the VCs, but since I can't do better..

3) Fs Repaint is their best product

Being more on the modelling side, I actually would say that FS Design Studio is "better"..  but you'd expect me to say that.  For the flightsim modeller, VASS-Gold is similar to the FS-Repaint program, except it works on the FSDS source file.  For that matter, FS Repaint is VASS-Gold but for the mdl file.

4) The P-61

Dave Eckert's.  And even that is an "old"  model compared to later offerings.  But it stands the test of time.

Those are the best things that i know of, although they just came out with a lockheed constilation that looks good

We've seen the Connie as it was being built in the FSDS forums.  Although we knew it was going to be payware, it was still thrilling to see it develop.  Initial feedback in several forums is very good.

I wonder, though, with CFS3 allowing multi-crewed positions, if a plane like the Connie, with a flight engineer's station, could be modelled with that functionality for on-line cooperative flight?
