We cannot guarantee that our models works perfectly on Mac models when run in Windows dual boot even if we have positive experiences on this. In any case will we do our best to support Mac users.
As another reviewer has stated, the installation of this aircraft is not straightforward. However, by following the instructions, it's not difficult. SSW are rather unique with their installation processes but all works well.
This aircraft appears to be a very good representation of its real world counterpart. Having seen these fly in real life only a handful of times, it's always been one of those aircraft that I'd have loved to have seen more of.
Both the exterior and interior models are seen to be very well presented with crisp textures seen throughout.
Sound is a tad underwhelming, but this shortfall is somewhat offset by the aircrafts decent handling and "atmospherics".
All in all, an extremely good buy, more so because of the very low price that it's available for at the time of this review.
