Reviews (by Glen)

For the most part Ian Pearson's review at http://www.screenshotartist.co.uk/razbam_banshee_review.htm is spot on. The flight model makes this plane an easy flyer without that "gamey" feel that many otherwise nicely modelled planes suffer from. Though subsonic, this is a fairly fast plane that keeps it's speed quite well. Engine's got plenty of power to put you overspeed in a hurry, which also means you get a pretty decent climb rate. Some of the VC switches and dials are flat texture maps but these are largely the ones that have no function in FSX. True to form, many of the switches require a few contortions to get to. Definitely not a "heads-up" aircraft. Roll control gets mushy at very low speeds and you drop pretty fast even with flaps so I get the impression that one is supposed to land at a relatively fast speed. No manual is provided so there's a bit of "test piloting" to do in terms of flight characteristics and switches are somewhat tough to locate as a result. Make sure you have the brakes firmly set when you start the engines as this thing definitely has a tendency to lurch forward. Overall I'd give it a 4 of 5 star rating for VC users. 2D cockpit users may get a bit more frustrated though since access to switches is much more difficult and likely requires some keyboarding.
