Reviews (by Dale)

Sorry, I misstated in my earlier Review that this model was Pressurized. My bad. It isn't pressurized, although, it does have oxygen. Like I commented earlier, I have over 30 after market products, and I didn't check before writing the review. Once you enter a review, that's it. I found an no avenue for editing errors in a review once it is submitted. Sorry, for any inconvenience this may have created. I will be more careful in the future. I am hoping SIMMARKET will correct the error before posting that previous review. The plane still remains a great plane.

This one works as described. Nothing to complain about. Modeling, instrumentation, flight characteristics, lighting, state of the art. I don't have any major bugs that I to report. I have about 6 hours flight time with the PA34. I'm using Windows 7, X86 program file, and 2.9 processor water cooled and overclocked to 3.2, Video card Nvidia 450. Minor bugs that I have found may be attributed to my system limitations, so I can't complain yet. All minor bugs I have encountered don't effect flight or visual experience. Compared to 30 aircraft in my aftermarket fleet, this is one of the best. If you want a Turbocharged piston twin with pressurization this is 'as good as it gets'.

Nemeth Designs - two thumbs up. This is an all around fun chopper. It isn't perfection, but it is well done. We die hard simmers have to put-up with developers' excuses about how MSFX has built in limitations and they can only do so much. I keep thinking, 'You're software writers, write programs that expand MSFX platform limits'. I've always suspected this excuse to be a cost saver, a cop-out or a cover for their own limitations. Anyway, within the limitations of the MSFX platform, the Eurocopter AS255 seems to have some extra bells and whistles that might be indicators for the beginning of a new era of MSFX expansionism. I hope so. I'm getting tired of not being able to work one or more of the aircraft's systems because the developer just can't seem to find a way to make it happen. This Heli does a good job of simulating the real thing. Flies with a nice mix of challenge and elegance. Systems work nicely, and; if I ever figure out the Automatic Flight Control System, I'm almost there; it may be one of the 'best-of-the-best' of the MSFX platform limited aircraft to date. Sum it up --- Better than most -- it's just limited, like all the rest.
