Got it. :)
Very nice model. No FPS issues. Looks and flies great. I like the config utility they've included. Seems to work well.
One bug so far, the LAU-32/A launcher only displays on the left outer pylon, and not on the right-hand one. I'll report that on their support forum when I get access.

Now I need TacPack for P3dv3. :lol:

I noticed that too Dave. Wasn't sure if there should be one on the other side. Worth reporting.

I have been debating getting this or not. I have the sim-outhouse donation were F100D had have been wondering if the $$ for the Milviz is really worth it.

It is quite pricey, but there has been a lot of work put into this. As far as FS models of this type goes, I don't think I can fault it. The modelling & texturing are superb. I've only scratched the surface of the systems, but it all works so far. Some people are reporting issues with the night lighting, but it works for me. Frame rates are excellent and handling is pretty much how you would expect it to be.
Is it worth the $$? I think so. :)

I agree; I bought it yesterday. It looks fantastic and isn't hard on FPS at all on my system. I was a little reluctant at the price, but glad I took the plunge!

SP1 now available. Not sure on what has been updated as I can't seem to access the MilViz forum.
