Reviews (by Nakia)

This thing is horrible, it's the last thing that I expected from Sky simulations, especially being a return customer from FSX days. The model is good, but the sound is irritating to say the least, it's like hearing an old 1950s vacuum cleaner with a full bag. You would think that instead of rushing things to the market we'd be getting improved versions of previous offerings but that's not the situation here at all. I wonder what these developers would do if we simply stopped buying the overpriced shortcuts they're putting out just for a quick buck.

I've been a flight simmer for over 25 years now off and on. The MD-11 is my second favorite Tri-jet next to the L1011 and I was thrilled that I had a choice of product when it came to my purchase of the aircraft. I chose this over the PMDG product because I had seen a review of it on Youtube and came away impressed by some of the things that I had seen; that being said I just bought the PMDG product as well. Why would I buy both? because as beautiful a model as this is if you have a basic laptop as I do, performing the decent/vectoring to final portion of the flight can be downright irritating. I suppose I could use a mouse with a wheel to ease my pain but dialing in the heading and altitude on this thing can be a pain in turbulence or during busy moments, it's almost like a circus at times. I've found this to be a temperamental product at times, however, honestly, it is a joy to fly otherwise. I'll just keep experimenting with the hardware in hopes of improving my outlook on this product, maybe I'll end up giving it more stars later.
