VIRTUALCOL - 99 COMMUTER MSFS

VIRTUALCOL - 99 COMMUTER MSFS

I gave up on the very early model as a bad job but seeing a recent update version I reinstalled and found a simple flyable aircraft that I have enjoyed revisiting - nice job Virtualcol, you're getting there ..

KOLIBRI SIMULATIONS - KITHIRA AIRPORT LGKC P3D

KOLIBRI SIMULATIONS - KITHIRA AIRPORT LGKC P3D

It's a very nicely made small Greek island airport scenery and will be welcomed as another island to visit by the community. It seems to work with my FTX Global and LC just fine. Kolbri has decided to include both v4 and v5 versions - thank you ! Unlike the release of Paros , which maybe should be the same instead of having to pay for an upgrade for the same small airport, Which has put me off buying it so far. (I do have Chios). For me the installation option was frustrating. I don't want a 1Gb scenery cluttering up my C drive 250Gb SSD. I would want it in my main P4D folder or my main P4D addons folder on my 6Tb HDD with all of my other addon sceneries. I don't understand why they recommend this method. Good value for the 2 versions, sits well with FTX, but I would prefer a different default installation option so for me a 4/5.

VIRTUALCOL - AIRBUS A220 SERIES PACK FSX/P3D

VIRTUALCOL - AIRBUS A220 SERIES PACK FSX/P3D

This is probably the best Vcol aircraft to date. For a casual simmer it's a good buy. As with all Vcol models there's the good and not so good but the company are going in the right direction with this pack. Niggles - taxi sound is a strange howling that is relistic -ish but as repetitive loop it gets annoying. Airbus state the A220 has a 20% fuel burn advantage over it's rivals - probably the e-jets, but Vcol have produced a model that drinks fuel at an alarming 20% disadvantage. Once the FuelFlow Scalar is tweaked you have a model that flies nicely by hand or autopilot and returns a more realistic fuel economy. Finally I use P3dv3.4 and found it to be a bit of a resource muncher. Overall good value pack if it's on offer maybe less so, in it's present guise, at full price. Good effort Vcol.
