COCKSPUR - C510 MUSTANG MSFS

COCKSPUR - C510 MUSTANG MSFS

I was excited when the Mustang came out and jumped on it first day. As others stated, the jet flies really well, good flight model and the G1000Nxi does the job. But unfortunately, a lot of stuff is still missing. The most important things imho: missing FADEC(!), erratic switches, in general a lot work has to be done in the sound department like engine sounds are kinda weird, no sounds for switches and buttons etc. A lot of switches and buttons and systems are still INOP. At first there were regular updates, now it seems as the dev has other priorities. I still believe the jet has a lot of potential, but in it's current state I'd say it's Early Access. I personally would appreciate if it was declared as such to be transparent to the buyers, as I totally understand, that Cockspur is a small independent studio and things just take time. But from the outside it sure looks like they have to many projects on their plate and they have a hard time finishing their released products. I'll be happy to review it again in a more advanced state, as I still believe in the project. For now, no more than 3 stars unfortunately.

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - KEWR NEWARK LIBERTY INTL MSFS

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - KEWR NEWARK LIBERTY INTL MSFS

Very high quality airport, with a loooot of details as expected for that kind of money and coming from drzewiecki. While it's definitely tough on FSP, I can't really confirm what others wrote before me with "unflyable" performance. I just did a flight yesterday with the PMDG 738 from the also new KDTW scenery and had an absolutely smooth landing experience in KEWR with fps around the 30ies on final until touchdown, with almost everything at ULTRA, 200 LOD, with VATSIM live traffic and around 30 FSLTL injected static aircraft at the gates. This was the case until taxiing to the gates. The performance went right down the drain and I got barely 20 fps at the gate and VRAM was maxed out, something I rarely see. When reloading the flight at the same gate, the performance was back at 32 - 35 FPS. So not sure if it's directly related to the scenery or one of those "msfs performance over time degradation thing". Anyway, I still recommend the buy.. Performance on takeoff and landing is acceptable for me at least with over 30FPS. my specs for the record: 9900K, 2080TI, 32GB RAM
