Reviews (by Andrew)

This is a very good package, and fairly priced. The sounds merit particular mention; they are outstanding. The flight model is smooth, and the graphics, for the most part, clear and crisp. One slight reservation I have concerns the modern avionics. Although well simulated, I find the characters somewhat difficult to read and tuning the various frequencies to be more than a little fiddly. For that reason I'm awarding 4 rather than 5 stars. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this package to anyone with an interest in vintage propeller aircraft.

This package performs exactly as described. A variety of panel retrofits, e.g. for the Ready for Pushback 747-200, are available on the developer's website. All in all, this package represents very good value for money.

Although I certainly agree with previous reviewers that this is a very good simulation, and particularly welcome as a large, historic propliner, the package is not without its shortcomings. One which has been discussed on the A2A support forum is the difficulty of tuning the radios. I understand that is to be addressed in a forthcoming patch, and that would be most welcome. All in all, A2A deserve to be congratulated on what they have produced. With some fine tuning the package will, in my view, progress from good to excellent. In the meantime, I would award this product four stars.

I think this product promises rather more than it delivers. It's not exactly poor, but I found I used it a few times and then quietly forgot about it, i.e. it just didn't impress me enough to carry on using it.
