I'm really impressed with this one Ian. I also agree it's a little pointy! Very happy with the purchase, also, would definitely recommend it to anyone out there. It has some very innovative features which I've not seen in FSX yet. For instance, you can adjust the joystick/throttle inputs of your personal setup realtime with with their configuration app that runs realtime along side the sim. simply go into windowed mode and you can configure with precision each throttle detent including when it switches into beta range. very nifty and thoughtful tool to have! The sounds are phenomenal! Visuals, obviously... smile.gif Systems...still learning....I mean...reading....

It's a great bird! You'll need some experience with higher fidelity simulations or some real world experience in similar aircraft to be able to get up and running "quickly" as there's no "Ctrl-E quick flight" mentality here. You need to perform items per checklist. But it's not too complex to get her up. Definitely an A+ from me!

During the well known Christchurch Northwesters , the winds i get the 300s rip in directly overhead in almost airshow display showing .. with a recommend like that finding new FSX options it might become hangered here shortly ... Jon Murchison has already completed a Air New Zealand livery for it ... might be the thing to pushme over the side ... PMDG is stillllllll a long ways off yet unsure.gif
