Am liebsten würde ich gar keine Sterne vergeben da das DLC schlechter als schlecht ist. Ich habe bisher noch nie so ein schlechtes DLC gesehen, da kommt nicht einmal der schlechteste MOD ran.
@SnowPalm Studios: Macht bitte keine DLC´s mehr, ihr könnt dies ehh nicht
I will be honest, this addon is getting un-deserved Very bad reviews
This addon is far from being an exelent one, i can agree with that, but you cannot compare it to real bad shit like the 737 max for MSFS
This addon is getting updated over and over again, the textures just got fixed, now we are waiting for the Flight Model update
I would realy like some texture improvement on the cockpit, a real cabin and a new Flight Model, Maybe the price for this addon is curently to high
Here is what you should have done: Put this addon out in Beta for 10$ and continue working on it by affirming that THIS IS A BETA !
But getting this addon out like this is a bad idea and now you made yourself a very bad reputation !
Anniway, hope you'll update it again with what i said, it's a flyable plane and the new outside model is realy good, now you know what you have to do
I can't recomand buying it right now, maybe in the future
Bye
I am happy that this developer has taken this project because the Q-400 is one of my favourite aircraft's. As a casual simmer, I am enjoying flying this plane. That being said, there are a number of things that need to be addressed like graphic and texture issues and updates to the speed and flight handling. The plane was release too soon before it was ready in my opinion.
Also worth mentioning that this is not a complex aircraft with fully functioning cockpit, if that is what you are looking for then I would look the other way.
If you are a big fan of the Q-400, really want one in your sim and not worried about spending $20 bucks on a simple aircraft... then It might be worth taking a closer look at. I do think in time with some updates and fixes that this aircraft could be great for the casual simmer and I am hoping my purchase will help support further development of this aircraft.
Recommend not purchasing until product is fixed. Has several issues. Instrument panel is almost unreadable and most switches are non functional. At idle with engines running and park brake off it accelerates. Wings and engines not modeled from cockpit windows. Needs a lot of work to be worth while.
