I'm uhhming and ahhing about this one. I think I'll get it, as long as there is a paint kit to go with it so I can correct the wood effect. It isn't so noticeable on some schemes, but on others it's quite an eye-sore.

I wonder if there is an option to remove the control column as it gets in the way of instruments quite a bit.

The VC does look rather nice as well.

I'm in a similar situation. A Wellington I could go for but at £25.. it's a bit outside what I want to pay. I'm not that struck on needing a gig of space to install the darned thing either. Good case for a 'lite' version here me thinks! Agree some of those screenies look worrying. Fabric over metal shouldn't really look like that :o Darned tempting though.. especially as it's for FS9 too ;-)

Could you paint wizards do something with it ? It looks like its worth rectifying.

Why is it so big (although this is a good anti-piracy ploy though :lol: :lol: )?

I think that although it looks nice, I would not fly it enough to warrant 25 quid though, even if it would not mean a trip to the UK too :roll:

Here we go again. It seems to be the 'norm' on CBFS to pour scorn and critism on a model based only on a few screenshots. Would it not be much fairer to wait for it's release? Then, and only then, can can critism ( or praise?.............nah not here it's payware) be levelled at it. And then only by those
qualified to do so ie. purchasers or reviewers.

Oh I forgot. It comes with a little bonus scenery. But it's crap 'cos I did it and after all I was associated with AS in the past.

OK rant over. I'm back in my cage now. ;-)

Tks for that Mickey D. I'm sure that while we're all fully functional in the 'pouring scorn' area, most of us can probably read too and are aware of the scenery that comes with it. ;-)

I think you'll find that many of us "pouring scorn" will end up parting with our hard earned cash to purchase it.
