I really like this old plane. Slow as it is I feel like they really did a good job simulating it. Be prepared this is a super slow aircraft considering it has 4 engines. My best cruise with a typical load was around 152 mph at 7000 feet. The old A/P held nicely and it was an enjoyable flight.
The overall appearance is quite good inside and out. The audio is equally well done, maybe a little understated for my tastes but nothing the volume control can’t fix.
A great choice for flying around high detail scenery areas like Aerosofts Madeira & LaPalma. The slow speed makes you appreciate the views a bit more.
Excellent views from the detailed cabin and lav.
This is a great plane. I just Love it! It behaves as I assume it should do. Very easy on FPS. Realistically weak Engines but that is as it was on DH.114 (easy on climb or she will start to shake in your hand)
Good instrumentation, all you need for IFR. (Nav1,Nav2,DME,ADF,AP)
First flight test I put Vor/Dme on Nav2 and ILS on Nav1 and ADF on closest NDB.
It all works just great, and very easy to set the digits on the radios, (not as on some other addons)
Engines feels right, you have to "nurse" the throttles and proppitch or she will stutter, very much like on A2A Stratocruiser wich is another of my favorites.
Good VC with both nose and wings visible from inside and the cabin views are plenty
with good sight through those big cabin windows.
The texture on the plane could be higher, (like the shine on the "dashboard" on the PMDG 737) but that is if you look hard for something to complain over :)
It is still Very good compared to most addons and I ten times, rather take this with the very high FPS you get.
This is Absolutely one of the best addons if you like "old school" flying as I do!
