BURGESS SIMCRAFT - SPARTAN 7W EXECUTIVE MSFS
This is a great start for this beautiful bird, but hopefully updates are on the way. The modeling and textures are beautiful, but some of the flight and ground handling characteristics need tweaking. First, it always seems to have a touch of brakes applied. It needs 45-50 percent throttle to get moving on taxi, and rolls to a stop much too easily and quickly given that the prop seems to provide way more thrust than it should. Which is my next point. Upon applying takeoff throttle the aircraft will leave the runway in about 100 feet and can then climb at about a 50 degree climb angle at 60 MPH without stalling. With power on, you need to pull it to near vertical to get a stall. The wing also seems to supply too much lift making it feel like a glider on landing. Its really difficult to bleed off airspeed on approach, and is glides along for way too long. this could be the prop still providing too much thrust or the wing providing too much lift, or both. All, in all, its a nice start, and will make for some gorgeous screenshots, but it needs more realistic flight handling.
