Golden Age Simulations Boeing Stearman Package for MSFS 2020 40th Anniversary Edition
The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy (as the NS & N2S), and with the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civilian market. In the immediate postwar years, they became popular as crop dusters, sports planes, and for aerobatic and wing walking use in air shows. The Golden Age Simulations Models presented are PT-17 N2S-3, the PT-13 N2S-5, and the post-war modification A75L300 fitted with the Lycoming R-680-13 and a Hamilton Standard 2B20 constant speed prop.

I picked this up on sale and thank God I did. I would be very disappointed if I paid full price. It's honestly just ok to me. The sounds are not that great as the sounds while it's at idle are not correct. It looks pretty but flies just ok. The DC Simulations one is way better in my opinion.
I already knew this plane in the P3D version. Now I have also bought it for MSFS 2020. It is now even better than before and is very perfectly implemented. It flies excellently! I can recommend it to anyone who likes to travel comfortably and enjoy the scenery!
