The model is very high quality. The interior is high quality. Visually it looks great. It sounds really good too. I'd estimate around 20-30% of the buttons work. There's no heads up display or g-meter. No checklists either, so you're in the dark on how to start it unless you consult the manual or outside sources. I couldn't get any sort of autopilot or on the fly GPS to work as the buttons for that are inop. It flies nice and is easy to land. The control surfaces are animated. Speed brake as well. Canopy opens and is animated. No ejection seat or weapons which is to be expected but you can take the ejection pin out which is a nice touch. There's several liveries included which are very high quality. It could definitely use some more functionality and I hope there's some more work done to it. Compared to the DCS version, there's just no comparison. This is very much a "lite" version of the aircraft in terms of systems. The warning light test button lights up all of the lights and you can dim the lighting. So, it's not completely bare bones. All in all, it's a nice plane. Would like to see more functionality, of course, but hopefully that comes in time with an update or as the market sees more planes being released. You also get the aerobatic model of this plane which comes with 1 livery. So, that's a nice bonus. All in all. 3/5 stars. I would really like to see more functionality in future releases. This is one of the first professional add-on planes to be released for FS20. Hopefully, as time goes on devs will start adding more detailed systems to their payware planes. It would be nice to see updates/patches released as well to add more functionality.

The model is beautiful and highly detailed inside and out. Nice selection of liveries. Looks like the rudders aren't working properly. They don't appear to function like the real ones do where the rudders act independently and can be flared in order to air brake when both are applied. The flight model is that of a traditional fixed-wing and not a canard plane. So, that is not accurate as well. It does fly nice and stable though. No autopilot on this plane and I didn't see a fuel consumption gauge. The animated canopy is a nice touch and the reflections look very good. I can't get the fuel tank selector to work. Gear lever is animated and the gear has some animation to the components. Control surfaces are animated. I couldn't get the mixture to work. I've never flown a real one but I can't imagine it's so difficult to get this thing to cut power. Even with zero throttle there's thrust and the only way to stop it on the ground is to cut the engine and even then it continues to move, lol. With the engine off the propeller continues to spin for a long time on the ground and braking seems to have very little effect if any, so this makes landings and controlling it on the ground very difficult. Have to really use the speed brake to be able to land and lose speed. Tweaking the engine and getting the rudders to work properly would really help. Some basic autopilot would be nice but that's understandable as these are homebuilt planes. I'm a huge fan of the plane though, so it will do for now. Definitely needs to be tweaked and updated though. Thanks for making one of my favorite planes and hope there are some updates in the future to make this my goto.
