I have been waiting for the patch to come out before reviewing this. I knew the sound issue would be fixed and this plane would shine after. The new patch really opens this plane up to be one of my defaults right now. It is so fun to fly. It just responds so well and is a blast to fly around in. It is totally worth the asking price now that it is patched and many of the issues have been fixed!! I love it!! Sound is fixed and many other upgrades!!! It's a great plane!!! And i have bought many!! I can't stop flying it right now.
Beautiful model for an extraordinary aircraft, a rare thoroughbred of the skies as today there are no more. The graphics are excellent as well as the flight dynamics, and alltogether make this model one of the most immersive I have ever tried. Five stars!
I like this aircraft but expect a number of updates to make it complete. The cockpit and panel I like very much, the sound needs more work, the engine sound is bad. A few more liveries would be a good idea, and the actual flight handling needs improving. I have enjoyed flying this model very much up to now. For £27 it would be good value when completed. But as it is now? I feel you have launched a product that is un finished. A few more tweaks and I will be happy with this addition to my hangar.
4 Stelle per la fiducia e di incoraggiamento. Si sa, molto spesso le prime uscite non sono mai al 100%, ma sono sicuro che ci saranno miglioramenti. La costruzione esterna ed estetica è stupefacente! meravigliosa!! anche il cockpit è da 10! Quello su cui secondo me ci sono ampi spazi di miglioramento (pur non avendo mai volato su un vero 260 e quindi senza averlo sentito in moto) è il suono. Appare davvero poco realistico soprattutto sui regimi alti, ed in navigazione si sente in modo molto marcato il loop del file audio. Non è armonizzato nella sua continuità. Altra cosa che non posso essere certo di giudicare perché non ho mai volato (né pilotato) un SF260 vero, è la gestione del trim. Mi piacerebbe avere una opinione da chi lo ha usato davvero (ed in particolare da chi ci si è brevettato) perché a me pare fin troppo sensibile, al punto che invece di rendere più "agevole" e "semplice" il pilotaggio, lo complica ancora di più. Detto questo rinnovo la mia incondizionata fiducia ai ragazzi di SSW ai quali va, anche per questo lavoro, un applauso assolutamente meritato.
I would like to give it four stars, BUT THE SOUND is awful in the cockpit, does not sound like a SF260 and is way too loud. Outside sound is rather quiet. I'm surprised it has been released like this to be honest, but it is a pleasure to fly.
The sound really does need to be fixed.
modeling is great on par for ssw the sounds need a update very loud in cockpit and a have a looping chugging sound and exterior sound is to quite.. overall great product just needing a sound update for sure...
The model is very nice but there are a number of V1 release issues.
(1.) The sounds are not good, in fact they are terrible. Internal sounds are way too loud and nothing like an SF260.
Exterior sounds are far too low and again they dont resemble that of the real aircraft.
(2). The pilot models (default Asobo) are too small inside (they need to be resized by the dev) also no way to hide pilots inside the cockpit. (3.) The gear animation is too fast for the audio file used for them. I have enjoyed Sim Skunk Works products in the past but as of now - this one just aint ready. Its needs an update - which makes me think who was on the beta and thought its good as is?
