Great new plane for my sim love it!When I was quite young at 14 years I took a few lessons in Kapiti Districts Aeroclubs Grumman Cheetahs so this brings back all the cool memories! Thankyou so much!
I would definitely have to agree with the other two reviewers that gave it high marks. Maybe the reviewer with the issues can check his control settings?? For the price, it honestly blew me away. Very good quality and what's most impressive is the developer is listening and making changes to improve the model very quickly. I was really drawn to pick it up when a YouTuber did a review and the developer chimed in and said he would be making immediate improvements to make the buyers happy. My only knocks are two minor ones. First, the sound is modeled to the Asobo Cessna 150. Not the right sounds for a 180 Lycoming engine. However, this isn't a big deal to me because I was able to edit the sounds to a previous aircraft I had purchased with a like engine to this model. That has already increased the realism factor. My other knock is the only 750 GPS available is the freeware one. I'm hoping the developer makes another update to be able to select the TDS GTN750Xi. Ohhh another minor tweak I did was to remove the engine rattle sound(bird chirping) sound from the sound file because after awhile, it loops so much that it starts to get annoying. I did however still give it 5 stars because it does handle quite nicely and looks amazing.
I was very impressed with this plane. I was a little leery after reading a few of the reviews. However, I found the flight model accurate and responsive, just like a Grumman Tiger. I really appreciated the attention to detail in the cockpit. The shake and rattle of the dash as well as the bounce in the instruments. The tablet is a nice touch and offers different options, which I like. All the instruments, including the autopilot, worked as designed and were up to par. I read that others had complaints and problems, but mine worked flawlessly right out of the community folder. Great job Brimdesigns! This is the first product I have bought from you and I am not disappointed. I will return for others. Keep up the good work. ~JFX
Updating my review from 4 to 5 stars as BRSimDesigns very quickly updated to version 1.1, which fixed every issue I'd seen reported here or on the MSFS forum. All systems work great and handling feels right at every fuel load.
The panel is nicely modeled, with optional vibrating needles on the analog instruments that match what I've seen in real planes. The setup's great for people who like classic 60's/70's panels, but also enjoy turning on the PMS50 GTN 750 when you don't want to futz with tuning VORs.
Visuals are the best yet from BRSimDesigns. Love the way the canopy can be cracked (as is common when taxiing the Tiger) or opened all the way.
Comes with a nice selection of detailed liveries -- hope to see more from third parties as this is a fun bird to fly with a great panel. There's a white livery if you're thinking of putting repaint skills to the test!
If you're a Grumman Tiger fan, you won't be disappointed.
Giving it two stars because I have been wanting a Grumman on MSFS for a long time but this thing is not easy to control. You barely touch the rudders and it shoots sideways. Not to mention that this thing always is pulling hard left in flight. I understand P Factor but I shouldn't have to hold the yoke at a 45 degree angle at all times. It has some potential but needs work.
