I have to give them a bit of support, I did some beta testing (in fact still have the beta, forgot to apply fom my free retail one!) and as a 'General' product, I think it is good enough for 99% of the folk who will buy it. The main JF target audience is casual buys at PC World etc. who just want to fly something other than a Cessna or Airbus.
If someone had been able to make Rick's a native FSX with a detailed VC (up to DM standards), that would be great, however a lot of JF customer's would not where to find it! I think we take a certain amount for granted that all FS users are expert enthusiasts......(from what I see) they are clearly not!
No.. I think most of us are aware that a large proportion.. the larger proportion of JF customers are not expert enthusiasts. For their sins, I doubt many of them are aware of 'freeware' either
I thought I'd have a search around on Avsim and here to see what everyone thought of the new JF Viscount. I nearly got run over by one at Jersey when I was spotting there as a little kid in 1976 - ah happy memories
It's a pity as some of their other aircraft (Flying Club X PA28/Seneca) are pretty much on the numbers performance-wise. Also from the screenshots I''ve seen the exterior model does look wrong.
Looks like I'll be sticking to Rick's wonderful 748 for now
