The thing with their products is that they look nice, but that's the extent of it. I have their OH-58 and AH-1S, and I have had to map keys to my joystick for battery and avionics switches, fuel flow switch (basically startup for the helicopters), as well as the ability to change the heading and course bugs on the instruments, among other things. They look great, but the VCs are barely click-able, so if you don't mind mapping your joystick with a lot of necessary functions, go for it.
Despite the very limited click-ability, I still enjoy their helicopters.

I'm not sure how their fixed wing products are.

The C5 is the only one i have , external model is good , i was not going to buy the C17 since already have the Virtavia/Alphasim model , since C5 are visitors to CHCH be worth the looksie .

Quiet true for the fix wing as well .

I'm not much of a chopper fan (slight under-statement!!) ... so the C-5 or C-17 would be what I'd go for. Don't fancy the U-2 much. At least you wouldn't need any add-on scenery at that height .

Just ask 'Kim Jim Tim Bim Gim Dotcom' .... page like that says you can't catch me .. one thing with electronic mail is to keep an honest name and record you can't go wrong

Looked like gibberish to me ... until I Googled it:

"Area 51 is a Turkish flight-simulations company operated by brothers Engin Turgut Piskin and Tolga Piskin."
