This product takes flythemaddog to a level beyond anything ever seen before in home simulation. No more lonely cockpit talking to yourself. You have to interact with ground crew, flight attendants, and first office if you wanna get things done... just like a real jet. It's like having your best friend sitting next to you at your computer helping you set headings, flaps, gear, etc. But he does it when you tell him and you're ready for them. A nice checklist and flow checks with response commands is provided in an easy to read PDF. The best part is the developer constantly seeks feedback from customers on the fs2crew forum and usually the developer responds to questions right away. If you do purchase this software, besure to visit the fs2crew website and check for updates. There is nothing even close to this... anywhere on the market and the price is fantastic!

I agree with the other reviwers, great little product for a cheap price and the new textures make a big improvement of the stock FSX textures!

For the first time ever, I feel like I'm really flying a commercial airliner. The systems and feel of this airplane are beyond the best PMDG and Wilco titles. The plane flies like a dream and the challenge of the systems really keeps you on your toes. The textures are not the best in the world for the VC and you take a tiny FPS hit, but all switches are modeled including the circuit breaker panel! I do want to say this aircraft takes a long time to get setup correctly in FSX. There is a free livery package to download off the flythemaddog website, but to get the VC working in the extra liveries. Also this is one of the products where reading the manual and searching the online forums really help understand how to setup everything just right. Included is a ground crew and flight attendants. You have to load and unload the pax. There is also a fuel planner included that will calculate fuel and CG along with V speeds using FSX generated flight plans. I have to say this might be the best realistic aircraft ever produced for FSX!
