A2A SIMULATIONS - ACCU-SIM COMANCHE 250 MSFS

A2A SIMULATIONS - ACCU-SIM COMANCHE 250 MSFS

I got it from the A2A store, and although I barely ever write reviews I think this one really deserves it. To make it short, I'm going to use Scott's words: It is a real plane in a flight simulator. It behaves like a real plane, it flies like a real plane, and it does the same calculation that nature does in real life. I'm not talking about systems, but about everything arround. To understand, I have an example: If something is dirty in real life, you can wash it. You could probably do this in any game that is based arround this. But what you cannot do in games but you can in real life is let it outside and wait till it rains. If you have tree leaves in you garden, you can pick them up. But you could also wait till the wind blows them away. A2A would simulate all of that, and they did with the Comanche. That's what makes this aircraft special and different from most other planes. But don't think that's all this can offer, it (obviously) has an amazing soundscape, extremely detailled model and textures, good fps and the other small things you could want like dynamic registrations, state saving, different altimeter units and so on. If I could only have a single plane in the sim, it would be this one. Even if I'd only fly airliners. A real plane can do a lot of stuff, even if it's not specially designed for it, Same with this one, it does everything you ever need from it, no matter if someone has done it bevore, as nothing is scripted, but everything is organic, just like the real plane.

AEROSOFT - AIRPORT FRIEDRICHSHAFEN MSFS

AEROSOFT - AIRPORT FRIEDRICHSHAFEN MSFS

The models aren't that bad, they're not the best but I'd say they are acceptable. The textures are not. They look like they are ported from FSX and they probably are. I thinks if Aerosoft would put a bit of afford into my loved home Airport and just replace the textures it would be a really nice scenery. However I also have to mention that a few things changed and got better compared to the P3d version. For example the Do-31 in front of the Dornier Museum was missing in P3d, it's there in MSFS. Most users wouldn't even notice but as a local I really appreciate this. I'd conclude if you really want this Airport (like me) then get it, if not then don't.

FLYTAMPA - AMSTERDAM V.2 P3D

FLYTAMPA - AMSTERDAM V.2 P3D

Absolutely amazing! I bought it after my vacation in Amsterdam and its amazingly realistic. From the McDonalds near RWY 27/09 to the small road used as a Spotting Point near RWY 18c. Everything looks just like in real life. I've heard about a few issues with the performance/Vram, but I can say at least for me it's still within the limits. I only have 6GB of Vram and it still works good. I'd recommend this without any complains Great work Flytampa!

CAPTAIN SIM - 1011 CAPTAIN BASEPACK P3D2/3

CAPTAIN SIM - 1011 CAPTAIN BASEPACK P3D2/3

(I bought it on the CS store) I like it. I'm a real fan of the Tristar since *ever*. There are Bugs- small things, major things,.... But I'd Still say it's worth the 40€- 60€ (you need a Soundpack) Pro: Nice Model Nice Animations acceptable systems Contra: Sounds Bugs (WXR drops FPS to 10, Payload Manager Crashing Sim,...) no PBR

LEONARDO SOFTWARE HOUSE SRL - FLY THE MADDOG X 64 BIT P3D5

LEONARDO SOFTWARE HOUSE SRL - FLY THE MADDOG X 64 BIT P3D5

Hi, this' probably going to be a long review. Just the things I thougt before I bought it: 1: "8GB GPU"?- no, you don't need 8GB Vram. I have 6GB and it works really well. Performance is really good compared to other addons. 2:Liveries: There are pretty much all liveries available that you need. One thing you need to know is that MD83 and 88 liveries are all compatible with the 82 wich is really nice. The Systems are really well made. But be prepared, it's not like an Airbus "get in and fly"- you have to study the Doggo's systems. There are also nice things for example that you can print messages or that you can choose between 2 different fmc's. The visuals are also pretty good. You can open the Engine cowls, the WXR and even the gear doors. But (sadly) there's also one thing I really have to criticize: the Sounds. in the Cockpit theres no engine sound at all. It may be realistic, but I dont care I want to hear the JT8D screaming! And well, from the outside, the sound is FSX default level. But: there's a nice freeware soundpack wich fixes the mentioned issues. So there are a few bad things but still 5/5.

REX - REX 5 - SKY FORCE 3D FSX P3D

REX - REX 5 - SKY FORCE 3D FSX P3D

I bought it from the official Website. The installation was very.... long.... it took me one hour, the files are just really heavy. The Wheater-engine is ok, but I'd recommend using Activesky or P3dwx. The Clouds are really beautiful. Sadly they are just "normal" 2d Clouds which turn when you fly over them. But still 5/5 for those amazing Clouds!

FSX3D - CALVI ST-CATHERINE AIRPORT LFKC FSX P3D

FSX3D - CALVI ST-CATHERINE AIRPORT LFKC FSX P3D

T had a few issues while installing. The setup was 50% English and 50% France. I just clicked arround. It didn't work. Next try: manual installation- it worked! It took me a few minutes and was very annoying but it's acceptable. Now to the scenery itself: The ground textures are ok, not the best, but I am not sure if it is a limitation of p3d. The modeling of the buildings is pretty ok. Not the best, but not bad either. Same with the textures. Sadly no interior tho. GSX does not work- could be because of the airport not having any jetways. Performance is really good- I mean it's a small airport on a small french island in the middle of nowhere. One thing that is a bit strange is that you can actually see an airplane- probably a DA62 or so- in short final. My summary is a bit complicated. I don't think it is worth 20.67$. Such a small airport must be perfect for this price- it is good but not perfect. I picked it up for 10$ and I'm really happy with it. If you like Calvi- get it!

MLADG - MIG-15/ 17 X-PLANE 12

It's really nice. The textures aren't the best, but the modelling is really nice. For the very low price you get a Mig15, a civilian Mig15, a Mig 17,a civilean Mig17 and a yak3. Very Amazing! If you're interested in those old soviet Guys I'd totally recommend this one
