Initial pros, cons, and general comments:
Installation:
Easy as it gets. After purchase, they'll send an email with reciept, key (line of text), and a link to the installer. Run the automated installer, which will first install the plane, then MS Net Framework 4.5. When finishing on the Framework install, it'll prompt you for your name (email) and key. Input that, verify, and you're all set. I had no problems with it. When installing, you may want to turn off your antivirus (in my case Avast) as that delayed the Net Framework portion.
The plane itself:
I'm still exploring, but the cockpit is in English, except for the ADF system.
I personally did not read the flight manual before flying, but one is included that explains the history of the aircraft, then goes around the cockpit explaining systems, ending the a full checklist.
Bugs (first and foremost):
1. It may be my speakers, but the flywheel start sound seems to skip and occasionally distort when running up to speed.
2. There seems to be a built in ground-shadow effect from the aircraft, and you can see the horizontal texture line run across the mid-point of the wheels. (Different shading)
Other than that, I'm not seeing anything else that jumps out quite yet.
Pros:
Expertly modeled interior and exterior, with realistic systems, flight dynamics, and sounds. You can land this thing pretty much anywhere, and with a bit of a breeze, you may as well be in a helicopter!
Many here may appreciate this... the cockpit (at least of two repaints I've tried so far) is in English, except for the ADF system. All functions also have tooltips available. Perhaps other languages will be available later.
Cons:
Other than the bugs mentioned above, a con for me is a lack of a transponder for flight into controlled airspace, but that's very much a personal preference.
No problem for me, but may be for some....you must use differential braking to steer this aircraft. The tailwheel is castoring, and taxiing does take getting used to.
I can go into further detail later, but there's a very, very brief look. It's US$20, and it seems to be worth it so far!
