Oh man, it is payware, but from the looks of these screenshots, it will DEFINATELY be worth the extra bucks. Man, I'm almost drooling over here. lol

and look at that Hornet model they're about to release... and best of all, check out that Blue Angel scheme! Definately THE BEST model of an F/A-18 (and soon to be F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet too!) I've ever seen on MS flight sim, and from the looks of it, any other flight simulation game as well.
Man, that is true beauty right there. And check out the detail on the arrestor hook, and cockpit! Wow, I cannot wait for these to be released!!
