According to some guy called Glenn Ernford Lie...

Sorry, but this is in my opinion not a good product. The aircraft model is ok, but Dreamwing's freeware version is just as good. To be a payware this is far below the expected standard. For instance, Virtualcol has done really poor work on the turbine textures in the engines. When the engine is running it looks like a turning round plate that has been painted. The colour is almost white from many angles. Very unrealistic. (However, this is not possible to see from the pictures they present of their product) Another example is the two nosewheel lights that are placed wrongly compared to the real aircraft. In a payware you would expect them to get these type of details right! Sound is ok, but a better version can be purchased from Turbine Sound Studios at this site. The same panel that is used in this payware can, with a few minor differences, be downloaded for free at avsim (made by Uwe Ingber). Have also tried to contact their support with some of my issues, but with no success. They are either away or something is wrong. In conclusion, being an avid flightsim enthusiast for the past 25 years I have seen a few products coming along. And this would not be one that I would recommend!! Sincerely, Glenn Ernford Lie


Doesn't look to good to be honest... ;)
