I get why this one was on sale. First the bad. Cannot be pushed back without crashing, show passenger and crew stairs (not easy to find but is on the dash in front of pilot and copilot) do NOT ever actually show up....ever. Not with or without parking brakes or even parked in GA. Can’t find parking brake anywhere in the cockpit must use cntl and the period key. No lever or even any mouse over queue anywhere in the cockpit including the obvious places like foot peddles console base etc. There is an “emergency brake” switch though...6 of 1 half dozen the other I guess. Taxiing is a bit squirrelly but that may be realistic? Prop RPMs can be controlled incrementally by 4 independent up/down toggle switches, but there is no way of being sure just how much you have adjusted either way except maybe during flight where the RPM gauges do indicate RPM changes. This is realistic but for a modern sim it would’ve been nice if with each click up or down there would be a percentage indicator like most all other prop planes. There is also a nondescript white balled single lever above the 4 switches that although is not indicated anywhere what it’s for, it controllers the prop RPM (or feathering) for all 4 engines. The good. Excellent model! Really good looking and highly detailed cockpit. Looks like every photo I’ve ever seen. The exterior is also nicely done. The sounds are fantastic. You really can feel the merlins as they roar at high throttle positions. Basically this is a louder and faster DC4, and 8 prefer it to the DC4 myself. It flies a lot like a DC4 which makes perfect sense of course. Climbs slowly and knowing when to engage all the supercharges will be the difference between continued climbing or stalling out. The SCs really work like they should. So at %50 off I’m ok with the missing features and being unable to ever push back. I’ll just be sure to start at GA Large spots or medium if necessary and drive forward from parking. I’ll just imagine passengers jumping to exit and the loud crunches of their ankles and shins snapping because somebody forgot the stairs! A nice model of a long gone classic airliner.

Absolutely loved it. Keep up the great work. Look forward to Lahore airport and others.

A great little airport if you're into Alaska, remote locations and just generally very athmospheric locations. Northern Sky Studio has done a great job bringing this airport to life and I couldn't recommend it more. In my opinion, it's especially great if you're into GA or smaller regional jet flights and/or bush flying in the area. Throw a little snow on the ground in the midst of winter as well and you're really going to be in for a treat! Can't really provide much in light of downsides, the airport itself and everything surrounding it is great quality and has had great detail put in, and as far as I can tell a good attempt was made to beautify the other side of the river as well. If anything could be improved, it would be the marina on the other side of the airport, the default Microsoft semi visible docks just don't do the area service. But in all fairness, this is generally well beyond the scope of the airport, it would just be a nice cherry on top. :) All in all, a great product, will give some serious purpose to those Alaska airline liveries :) Highly recommended!

I practice instrument approaches on MSFS 2020, then I head to the airport to practice for real. XMAPSY lets me use the same Garmin Pilot software and Android tablet with MSFS and in the plane. With MSFS, XMAPSY provides the GPS location for the aircraft--exact-
ly what I need. Thanks for a useful program.

Needs major improvement in night lighting. There are no spotlights on the parking aircrafts, they are in the complete darkness, you only see the lights of the ground verhicles. The airport has good potential, simbreeze should invest more passion in it. Zuerich is for the same price and of far better quality and shows incredbly nice spotlighting during the darkness.

Just Love it! Nice to have that span of speed, on a robust plane like this. Realy good model.

Amazing work Sir, Its Rare to see this level of quality in an African Field but youve really done this scenery justice. Thank you so much for your good work and looking forward to seeing more from you

Great Addon, but when i pressed "master ARM" the game crashed

In fact don't forget to use modern flight mode with this plane that refuse to fly with classical fly setup but flying honestly like real ULM in modern fly mode plane nicely build very accurate détails thanks at Nemeth for support customer

This airplane is utterly brilliant. Don't be intimidated - even its "RIP edition" (one of the three variants, with the most difficult controls) is not as impossible to fly as it sounds, and the more practical Gnome-engined version is even somewhat pleasant to operate for cross-country hops! However flying it is still a whole different ball game from what you might be used to - and it truly feels nothing like any of the stock airplanes in MSFS, or indeed any of the add-ons so far. This plane is a handful, and has virtually no safety margins built into it - or instruments for that matter. It's just you and the unkind forces of nature... Visually it's pretty nice. There are some glitches I've noticed when using external camera (wing warping controls cause the wings to do something they shouldn't be able to!) which I'm sure will be quickly fixed up and doesn't detract from the experience. Flying it from the cockpit is extremely enjoyable - surprisingly, this actually actually offers a near-unobstruct-
ed view in most directions, since there's very little airplane to speak of between you and the sim world (just a sparse wooden frame and a pair of warping canvas wings). Doing anything in this airplane feels like an accomplishment unto itself, so even short flights are very rewarding. Yes, you will be fighting seemingly unstoppable oscillations during flight with near-inadequate controls - but that is exactly the correct behaviour. Flying a straight line for even a few seconds is a real feat for this one. In short - if you love early aviation, or just want something really different in your sim - I think this Bleriot is a must-have!
