And for those of you that do not read the Payware section, here is some information:
A2A Wings of Power/Silver P-51 Solo
Is not a native FSX aircraft. It is a FS2004 aircraft updated for FSX and shows the prop behind the clouds.
FSD Pilatus PC-6 Porter
Is not a native FSX aircraft. It is a FS2004 aircraft updated for FSX and shows the prop behind the clouds.
FSD Cessna 337/O2
Is not a native FSX aircraft. It is a FS2004 aircraft updated for FSX and shows the prop behind the clouds. It also has issues starting from dark, requires you to load in VC and switch to 2D before changing to exterior view for all gauges/effects to work properly. And has an issue with the flood light not turning off.
These are not opinions, they are the facts based on personal experience. And I did not just start flying without reading the manual, readme file, and other accompanying doccuments.
If you can overlook the prop behind the cloud issue and the other 'quirks' of the FSD C337/O2, then I highly recommend it and the PC-6 Porter. But I am going to do more research in the future before making a purchase and I don't think I will be buying any more 'updated for FSX' aircraft. Lesson learned, let the buyer beware.
But to be fair, let me add this.
I will purchase from A2A and FSD in the future, [glow=yellow,2,300]IF[/glow] I am sure it is a native FSX aircraft and other research shows it to be a good one.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
