Review it now!
When sitting in the cockpit all the differences to western military aircraft become more than obvious. And even when using 3d-gogles (Oculus Rift) all instruments are extremely sharp.
Even with only a very superficial first experience and without extensive use or exploration of avionics and weapons system I must say that the feeling is very real and authentic.
An extraordinary experience... this bird is begging for a lot more hours of flying time...!
Again I am very impressed With this jet and hope to see it in MSFS soon.
Flight dynamics seem very plausible and feel correct, system depth, as far as I did use them so far, is very pleasingly done.
However the version (V.1.0.6) I downloaded 12/19/2020 is not complete yet! I miss the weapons module as well as any option to add payload, there is still improvement to be made in the internal sound although the sound files seem to be of high quality.
Of course I contacted the support team regarding found issues and I got a fast reply promising improvements in the upcoming patch.
As long as they keep their promise I shall ad the fifth star due to overall excellence of this add-on. In this state however please be aware that there is still a lot missing which makes it seem like a final beta pressed into release.
