I love it!  I wish all aircraft had this level of detail.  Although I did manage to hotstart the first time.

Be CAREFULL with the ejection handle! ;D The nozzle flames are first rate too. I have yet to find anything I DON'T like about it. FIRST RATE ALL THE WAY!

Now, if only we could get them to upload it here at the "V", so folks won't have to get it from the competition! :)

**EDIT**

Another nice touch, is the fact that if you are in the cockpit with the engine running, and you open the canopy, you're able to hear the engine noise from both inside AND outside. Closing the canopy eliminates the exterior sound again. (As it would be IRL)

This should truely have been payware!

Simply awesome! Im using it in FSX SP2/Accel, and the only issue I've seen so far is the vc glass problem that you see with many FS9 to FSX aircraft have. But the level of detail in this is amazing. Would have paid for this one to be honest! Bow down to it being freeware! Image
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

Tried it out yesterday. It certainly is an excellent model, and has it's own systems idiosyncrasies built in as well!

Awesome plane. I'm also using FSX/Accel SP2 and besides the canopy problem from inside, Im having a problem with the landing gear not retracting fully. Wheels go up but the doors remain open.  :-?

Any ideas? :-/

How fast are you going when you are operating the gear? If your airspeed is too high, the gear will jam.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that had that happen! ;D Talk about real!
The Connie will do that also with the gear and the flaps! Freeware is truly blessed here recently! Lucky for us, not so for the payware people. There must have been some kind of payware developer revolt that we haven't been made aware of yet! ;D

Bingo !

Give that man a cigar.  ;)  

I had started out over Friday Harbor already in flight just to see if this plane worked, then after reading you reply I started out closer to home and on the ground. After taking-off I retracted the gear and Voila!

Again, Thanks.  :)
