This might be the best buy in MSFS. The modeling and textures are great as is the flight model. I had an issue with the AERA screen being dead. It turned out that the issue was a conflict on my end as I suspected, but the dev responded to my email immediately and followed up several times with suggestions for fixing the problem. Really great support. I look forward to any future updates, but this is a great plane as is. If you like this class of plane and enjoy short field and off airport work you can't go wrong with the Rans S6S.

I really want to like this plane. It looks great and there are a ton of nice liveries for it. However, it seems to be far from a finished product. Here are some of the issues I noticed just in my first 15 minutes with the plane. The CG is totally off. With just a pilot and copilot the CG slider needs to be forward and out of limits or the tail drops down and it becomes a tail dragger. The controls are very “mushy” and the plane is slow to react to rudder and aileron input. It almost feels like it is on water. Ground handling…well, forget it! The nose wheel does not animate with the rudder input and it does not turn the plane. I could only maneuver with incremental throttle input. The prop condition levers animate in the cockpit and move with the Bravo levers and the prop blades move correctly, but they have no effect when in flight. I can live with the sounds, but they aren’t the best. Spinning prop animation is not very good in my opinion. There is no in cockpit tablet and the doors do not open. If most of these issues can be addressed in an update my review will go to 5 stars and I would fly this plane a lot. As I said, I want to like it, but I can't in it's present state. Here's hoping for an update!

This is a great addon. You don't see the sky filled with birds, but they appear randomly, which is more like the real world. Most of my flying is in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska and this package brings that area to life. Seeing eagles soaring in the Anchorage area is great! Sometimes I don't actually see the birds, but I see their shadows when taxing or landing and taking off. It really adds depth to the sim experience. Highly recommended!
