This tool works very well and gives convincing results especially when combined with FSRealistic and is very easy to use. Just let it self launch with MSFS and forget it. The latest version allows you to edit the settings and disable/exit from the icon in the taskbar.
Review update: Update 0.1.2 has now a fully working environment control with according noises. Flights in cold conditions are now possible with no more icing on the windshield. Heaters are working correctly being used on automatic or manual mode with different fan speeds and AC is cooling the cabin down at different rates depending on the blower speed. The doors seals are now working correctly too. They reduce the wind noise in the cabin. The difference of noise is noticeable (it takes a few seconds ton inflate like the real system) when having some speed in the air, not on the ground. A great update for a great plane!
All the USA are now covered with this addon. No fps drop, well done aircrafts/flying machines and good implementation of the traffic. The developer is dedicated to the project and have good communication with his customers. Highly recommended.
This is actually a very nice addon/airplane. Model and textures are good, flight model is what you would expect from a canard, the engine sound is nicely tweaked. The buttons sound in the cockpit should be a little louder though and I can't hear a difference of "noise" when having the doors sealed or not. Having the AC working and state saving in a future update would be great. Nonetheless it is a great tourer and a very interesting and pleasant airplane to fly.
This is a great series of products, it adds so much to the low altitude flights. I bought them all, waiting for West US. and hoping Europe will be next. Two thumbs up!
I bought this addon a while ago but never reviewed it. It is a very nice plane with a great flight model, sounds textures and system depth. It has been updated a few times to correct minor issues and it really is a great plane to fly, always was. I wish state saving being implemented like it is planed for the Kodiak, if I remember well. But even without, it is a very good product, you can't go wrong if you are looking for a fast little GA which can even perform some aerobatics.
A very high quality addon. The turbine sound and flight model are great! On top of that AzurPoly is doing a good job on addressing the minor issues and adding goodies along with updates like gps map and autopilot in the EFB. If you like these trainer aircrafts I suggest to have a look at AzuPoly's TB-30, like with this Fouga you won't regret it.
This program adds just a lot of things that are lacking in many aircrafts, and if the aircraft has already customized sounds for some events, you can disable the according sound in the addon. Everything is very customizable with a good range of different sounds and effect. Very stable and no performance drop. Must have.
This is really a good idea. The VFR skies are just less empty with the aircrafts spawning in the right areas. I bought the two available areas so far, I hope the rest of the US will be covered soon. No performance drop. Nice to see a discount if you already purchased at least one of the covered area.
Nice to see this area covered by FS Birds. A good product which improves nicely your VFR flights. It is also worth mentioning the discount when you already purchased at least one of the other area of Europe. A nice gesture from the developer.
I fully agree with the review from Lonn. A very high quality addon on every aspect. It is is one of the best addon in this price/type of aircraft category. On top of that AzurPoly is doing a good job on addressing the minor issues (quickly) and adding goodies along with updates like gps map and autopilot in the EFB. Five stars well deserved.
Very good aerobatic addon. Flight model is top notch, the EFB is packed with good ideas and features. the dev. is very responsive and put a lot of efforts in it. A no brainer purchase if you like these kind of planes.
This adds good immersion for night flight. Well done, no fps drop and less than 20MB on your disk. Must have.
A very nice addon. Except some textures, everything is high quality with a lot of attention to details. The starting procedure and fuel/oil state saving is a nice feature (would be nice to have it for some other settings too though) as well as sparkplugs fouling and oil pressure/engine failure if oil level goes to low. Flight model, ground handling, cockpit and sounds are well done. The best biplane for MSF with the Stearman. If you like these old birds, you can't go wrong.
I bought the USA version and it is nice to see this free upgrade. The addon adds life in the sky in these areas where you expect to see these kind of flying crafts. The models are nicely done. No impact on performances. Recommended.
Very good addon, it brings life and realism to your flights at low altitude. Seeing flocks of birds or their shadows while taxi or take off is great! The area covered is very large and the birds are nicely done. No fps drop. Definitely worth it, you can't go wrong.

Very nice simulation of the CM.170 Magister. Turbine sound is great as is the flight model. Take offs, aerobatics and landings are a breeze. Textures are very good and panel lights are very well done. Onboard oxygen system is simulated too. The version 1.1 has an improved EFB with a gps map and com/nav status, fine tuned turbine power and fuel consumption. A great addon, you can't go wrong.
Very nice UL, probably the most complete available for MSFS. Pleasant and easy to fly and land, good engine sounds, good texturing with plenty of details and many liveries. The gps and the EFB are a nice thought. Can ballast front and rear to adjust CG if no passenger is added or depending on amount of fuel onboard. Comes with a well done and detailed documentation. If you are interested in UL's, this addon is a no brainer.
Flight model, sounds, 3d models, liveries, lightning systems, fps, everything is high level. Very few inop buttons/levers with the most noticeable one being the emergency power lever. Maybe operable in a future update? The passengers and cargo appearing when adding weight to the stations, operable AC vents and passengers lights, AC and oxygen management and fully working ESI500 Standby Instrument are a very nice touch. Perfection is in the details, the people from SimWorks Studios understood that. I second what Andrew said though, an EFB with interiors selection would be useful. A very interesting plane to pilot and a solid option for your hangar, one of the best plane made for MSFS so far with the Just Flight Pipers.
A very nice aircraft, definitely a must have if you are interested by old planes and/or biplanes. Early reviews on YT noticed a too high roll rate and overall slightly too high maneuverability. These "issues" have been well corrected in the latest versions of the addon. Handling is now much more in phase in what you would expect from this kind of plane. Plus other nice updates on the 3d model and panel. Sounds are absolutely great too. Thumbs up for the people of DC Designs for their work on updates and listening to customers feedback.
Great airplane and very good work on the POH which even include some original documents. Detailed checklist and POH. It flies very well and is gentle to maneuvre. Radio navigation (no GPS) and no autopilot, but again, the plane is pretty easy to pilot even on long stretches. A must have if you are interested by rare and special aircrafts.
