It's really nice. The textures aren't the best, but the modelling is really nice. For the very low price you get a Mig15, a civilian Mig15, a Mig 17,a civilean Mig17 and a yak3. Very Amazing! If you're interested in those old soviet Guys I'd totally recommend this one
I am used to the MiG15Bis in DCS and MLDADG's MiG 15/17 is the best available alternative for X-Plane.
I am still on XP10 (yes, I know)) so as yet didn't test the new 2001 version of MLDADG.
I am about to finally upgrade to XP11 in 2020 when time allows me :-)
