I got this as my first payware - it's nice, but interestingly, probably no better than Rick Piper's HS-754 (I mean that Rick's freeware plane is essentially payware quality or better). I grabbed a nice RAAF skin from Avsim.

Nice pictures, but can anybody give a mini-review of this product? To say it as good as Rick's 748 is praise indeed. I would be delighted if a similar comment was made on any payware I had been involved in (Dan :wink: ), it looks the business in these screenshots. Now, how about a Buffalo :dance:

Very good.

Disappointed with the sound included, but otherwise very good. They also released a patch allowing for reversable pitch props which work quite well, so I am very happy about it.

Ups -

-High Quality VC
-High Quality Model
-High Quality FDE
-Reversible-pitch propellors

Downs -
-Sound not accurate (engines use Convair-style exhaust augmentors which greatly quiet the engine's sound and the engine itself is an R2800 which results in a sound closer to a Corsair than the current DC-3-like sound)
-Fuel panel not fully functional (not really complicated, would have been nice to have it)

Here's a few shots of the VC. You can even lower the red armrests on the seats!

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see people enjoying that VC ;)

But *still* nobody has looked behind the seats!!

Bonjour,

Yes, it's beautiful, but not better that Rick Piper HS748. The panel is very basic. I have a question: Why there is no cowl flaps ?
