Considering the very reasonable, low price I cant really be too hard on this add on. I had their old FSX aircraft of similar design and liked it then as I also like this new one now. There are areas of low poly right in line of sight that annoy me a little but its not really that bad at all. I may just be spoiled a bit. The exterior is decent Id call it good. Not great, not bad either.
There is a lot of interior light flickering (in the day time) where there really shouldn't be and that's actually the only real bad part. I hope they can clean up the flickering light bleeds.
Its different, cheap, and a nice to fly. The visibility is excellent from inside making it a great sightseer. Also fun for practicing small field circuits.
Its not fast by any means and struggles when mixture needs leaning at altitudes over 5000 FT, so there is a little room for improvement with that particular system.
I wish the ventilation and heating levers moved. I hate static levers that are something that would be used regularly in all phases of flight. Immersion!
Not bad at all for a 1.0 and it is priced right but with some areas needing further development.
