AEROSOFT - AIRFIELDS EAST FRISIAN ISLANDS MSFS

AEROSOFT - AIRFIELDS EAST FRISIAN ISLANDS MSFS

When I bought this scenery many years ago for FSX, I was thrilled. I did not only get 15 detailed airports, also all the East-Frisian islands were carefully modelled. You flew at low altitude above them and would enjoy those long white beaches and typical houses, those islands are famous for. When the MSFS version came out, I was of course eager to try this latest rendition. Oh boy… on the positive side, all airports with their buildings are well represented, so if you like to walk around those little ports, this scenery is well worth the price. But if you are like me and want at one point leave the island and fly along them, you will be in for a big surprise, because this time Aerosoft decided to cut corners and left except for the airports, everything else to default Bing data. This means when Bing believes that those white beaches are actually green, you will find them in that color here too. And when Bing believes that those islands house large flat commercial structures, you find them here too. The typical charm of these islands is completely gone (except for the airports of course). So why wasting €24 on something that is so disappointing from 1000 feet up, when compared to its predecessor. Come on Aerosoft, you can do better than this!!

AEROSOFT - AUSTRIA PROFESSIONAL HD EAST FSX P3D

AEROSOFT - AUSTRIA PROFESSIONAL HD EAST FSX P3D

If one likes to fly in Europe in photoreal scenery with plenty of realistic buildings on the ground, this is one of the best products on the markets. It's not cheap, but alone when one flies low and slow over a city like Vienna, or along the river Danube, one realises, how much work has gone into this scenery add-on. It only comes with a few airports, so one needs to add either freeware airports like fantastic Klagenfurth or Graz or opts for a payware version of Vienna for example. It is definitely worth its money and it takes hours on end to explore the eastern part of Austria. I only hope the developers will also bring out the western part of that lovely country

LIONHEART - JUNKERS W33 AND W34

LIONHEART - JUNKERS W33 AND W34

Although this Junkers is apparently not meant to be used in FSX Sp2 or in P3D, it works (in my case) with P3D 2.5 quite well. If one wants a nice 1930s plane and doesn't expect too much system depth, this is a very nicely made plane from that period and it flies quite well. There are a few (minor) mistakes in the German descriptions and the load factor should be looked at before departure, but that should not distract from enjoying this aircraft. Btw, I didn't like the blue-ish cockpit glass, when in VC mode, so I just de-activated the respective small "Perspex_t" file in the texture folder.

A2A SIMULATIONS - ACCU-SIM B-17G FLYING FORTRESS FSX

A2A SIMULATIONS - ACCU-SIM B-17G FLYING FORTRESS FSX

I had the FS9 version for a few years and ported it over to FSX. I was happy with it, but a few weeks ago I upgraded to the full FSX version, as I want to test at a later stage the accu sim version, which I haven't bought yet. This new FSX version is by far better and more realistic than the previous FS9 version and I have not regretted my purchase. It's really worth the money and my compliments to the a2a team for such a wonderful product.

AEROSOFT - DIGITAL AVIATION DO-27 X (DOWNLOAD)

Although it's only an updated FS9 product for FSX, I love this bird. The animations, the sound and the way it flies are truly magnificent. It's a pity that it seems that there will be no genuine FSX version available. It's a bit heavy on frame rates for medium powerful computers though.

JUSTFLIGHT - CONSTELLATION PROFESSIONAL

JUSTFLIGHT - CONSTELLATION PROFESSIONAL

I love the Connie and have used for some time now the freeware version, which is pretty good. I bought this product because I was looking for a better quality VC. The product's sound and flight dynamics equal the ones of the freeware version, the outside textures are better with this product. But the VC is a clear disappointment for a 20,- Euro product. It's not much better than on the freeware version. Of course the added goodies such as a waiting stewardess etc are nice, but at the end, I want to fly that thing and enjoy a superior VC, which is just not there. So, all in all, I would not buy it again. I also find the prices for added paints a bit steep. Of course you get a lot of new ailines this way, but you mostly want just one or two of them. In my case I just wanted the Lufthansa paint and wasn't interested in the other ones. And I ended up paying 8,- Euro for it. My mistake, I know :-(
