VIRTAVIA - SHORT STIRLING MSFS

VIRTAVIA - SHORT STIRLING MSFS

This is a Fantastic Historical aircraft. It looks right, it feels right, it sounds right. BUT.. One thing i am disappointed about there is no interactive checklist you have to use the checklist in the manual ( which is a very good manual admittedly) but its a pain having to toggle windows to read then execute it in the sim. Asobo/microsoft did a lovely in game checklist seems a shame to then ignore it, i will knock one star off for this otherwise this is a 5 star aircraft

SWISSMILSIM - DE HAVILLAND VAMPIRE DH-100 MSFS

Those who criticise the looks have no idea what they are talking about while i'm not a pilot i have sat in a real vampire and the cockpit was just how it was in the real world, i also see no problems with the texturing and quality on the exterior model either, and while i have seen a few planes textured a little better they in no way deserve your crummy 1 star. The external textures are part of the livery and could be improved by other textures if they get made anyway.. That all being said i do have some issues, the documentation while good can be a little confusing in its wording i am guessing this maybe a language translation issue i would also for this price hoped it would come with a few different versions and some historical liveries like raf. After shutting down ambient sounds vanish which is a little weird and there is no sound difference between canopy open and closed The labels in the cockpit are German? while i hate to be arrogant most simmers speak English and English is the international language of aviation so would have been nice to have them in English .apart from those which are minor the plane is great to fly and the sound of the Goblin Engine is amazing. i found it pretty tricky to land getting the speed right i also found it very easy to spin and i haven't been able to recover from it maybe its me or maybe its unrecoverable i have no idea if the real one was so easy to spin also that engine blows up a lot so need to keep the throttle down out of the red all in all a good product and i hope a few fixes are made to make it even better
