A1R DESIGN BUREAU - A1R RYAN ST-A SPECIAL MSFS

A1R DESIGN BUREAU - A1R RYAN ST-A SPECIAL MSFS

A very beautiful plane that is nice to fly and relatively easy to handle. The outside model and the cockpit are just beautiful. The manual is nice but maybe not complete. Yes, nobody knows what this spark lever is for. The flap lever shows 5 settings while you can only use 3 but that's just a little nagging. I'm missing a contemporary pilot figure so it's good to have the WWII avitars by Got Friends. The sound of the engine is quite poor. In response to Felix I can add that in earlier times I had a nice add-on of the ST-A with a similar sound so it might be right that it doesn't sound very powerful. That's an issue I have with almost any add-on aircraft in MSFS. They just don't get it right and although you sometimes get nice sounds at idle they all sound lawn-movers at full throttle. The ST-A unfortunaltey is no exception to his although I'd still give the sound 3 stars. I did not encounter a weird stall behaviour as Felix put it. I'm also a real world pilot and you can do aerobatics in this bird beautifully. No problem with hammerhead turns what so ever. It's very nice and controllable. You need to spin this aircraft intentionally with stick full back and the aileron in the full opposite direction. It will then stall even without using the rudder which is not realistic. I also had a hard time getting out of the stall but revcovery is possible although in the same way unrealistic. Elevator full back and aileron into the direction in which you are turning will stop it. Pretty funny but fully unrealistic. Resume: exceptionally beautiful airplane, sounds of middling worth, nice for aerobatics with a drawback in terms of stalling.
