At http://www.lionheartcreations.com/Piper_Pacer. Bill Ortis is releasing a comprehensive PA20/22 package and the price is right. If you happen to admire the red and white N6948K, know that, for twenty years and a few thousand hours, it belonged to a wonderful old Alaskan pilot .

Money well spent. There's even a dirty old green striped model - N BSH.

I finally bought it, I'm happy as smile.gif Just submitted this brief review on Simmarket:

This is a fantastic little package, with a diverse range of aircraft, something for everyone. I love the range of VCs that you can choose. Also with programming tricks, the developer went the extra mile to create something that hasn't been created before (changing glass surface, gear fairings, etc with a click of the mouse from the VC). The flight characteristics are amazing. It needs quite some input on take-off/landing, but that perfectly aligns with the description in the articles I found about this plane. It has an atmosphere, it lives. The night lighting in the cockpit is perfectly balanced - it's not too dark, not too bright. All planes have slightly different handling based on the model. Some developers use the same air file for all variants, but this definitely not the case here. The only thing that you have to be aware of is that it doesn't have custom sounds (I was aware of this before buying it), it's mapped to the default Maule sound. I decided to buy the Arezone Cessna 172 sounds (same O-320 engine), and it works very nicely with it. Add Accu-Feel and you've got a real living and realistic add-on! Good on you guys!
