If you do choose the Dove, which is preferable for smaller/grass fields - can recommend the replacement sound set available on Classic British Files - definitely adds a dimension!

Thing is.. those sounds are free and so if you don't like em, you can go back to the originals without loss 
IMHO, the ones that were released with the model.. though not strictly accurate.. are closer to the real thing than the alternative but as I say, if you like the others, then who cares

Hi Gevers1
No problem as compared to modern stuff and some older Jets it is hard to fly but not too hard to master & after a while it's pretty easy.
We decided to try to get more realism into the 748 as it was harder to fly
Turboprops & jets when there where no computer controls in the modern sense.
ie: the pilot & copilot do the work as opposed to Autopilot & Engine Management computers doing the bulk of the work.
The HPR.7 Herald 200 will be almost as hard & very similar to manage as the 748 so get practicing
Regards

Hi gevers,
Congrats on finishing your Euro tour.
How about the default Vimy? A little slow perhaps...but a quick mod to the aircraft.cfg at least allows you to have an autopilot to ease the fatigue.
I know it's payware, but the ReaAir Spit has to be on of the nicer places to spend a virtual tour of the UK, too.
All this talk of FS tours makes me wonder if anyone has ever attempted the mother of all virtual journeys: the 30+hour crossing of the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis. No cheating with the GPS, either. Any takers?

I've tried the 15 odd hour route that Alcock and Brown took in the Vimy before, that was quite an adventure. I had the pleasure of witnessing Steve Fossett and Mike Rebholtz(sp?) land at the golf course in Clifden after re-creating the flight (minus the crash at the end thankfullyAll this talk of FS tours makes me wonder if anyone has ever attempted the mother of all virtual journeys: the 30+hour crossing of the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis.

) in 2005 so I just had to try my hand at it in FS after that.
