Virtavia HU-16B Albatross
 
The Grumman HU-16B Albatross is a twin-engine amphibious flying boat.  First flown in 1949, the HU-16 underwent a number of modifications and improvements over its storied career that included service with dozens of nations in a variety of roles.  The HU-16B features a 16-foot wing extension over the initial production variant and was a definitive model, seeing service primarily with the United States Air Force as a coastal search-and-rescue aircraft.   In total, Grumman built 466 Albatrosses, some of which still fly today in private collections.

Alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen, da wurde das alte ALPHA-Modell etwas aufgemotzt und das wars auch schon. Für den Preis gibt es besseres.
Den Vergleich gegen die Catalina kann die Albatross nicht stand-
halten. die Innenausstattung ist für die heutige Zeit recht
spärlich, vieles nicht bedienbar. Der Motorsound ist der große
Pluspunkt. Fazit - nur was für Fans

AFS-DESIGN - MIG-21 V2 FSX
HORATIU
Installer works flawlessly, no issues. Models-
, both single and the dual seater are not FSX native and the rendition is poor. I was interested in the package as it was advertised that it contains the only available FSX dual seater; Virtual Cockpit is fairly functional, but doesn't let you fly alternately from both cockpits in the dual seater. On the good side, this package contains an impressive collection of user countries liveries. Flig-
ht Dynamics is sub par, the aircraft has "arcade" style behavior, maybe because the aircraft cfg has very few elements in common with the real "numbers" of the MiG. Maybe a future V3 version will bring a higher level of rendition for this iconic aircraft.

It is fine, though it is not work the amount I spent

You can't use gsx in this scenery until the dev (if they) update the scenery to be compatible with it.
GOLDEN AGE SIMULATIONS - STEARMAN MODEL 4E JR SPEEDMAIL P3D FSXA FSXSE
Anna
5 by 5 ,golden age simulations lives up to its name! Detailed model plus unique overall experience, a virtual experience back to years ago ,love it! I've been long to fly in a time machine ,be one with the skies. The approach is a bit challenging since I can't see the runway ahead clearly directly like in most modern planes,but it's a wonderful experience learning how to slip like RL aviators on approach in them. PLS I wish other bonus sceneries can be bought directly,alread-

NEMETH DESIGNS - PARTENAVIA P68B VICTOR MSFS
Marco
Notably with the last update (v1.0.2) the following improvements have been introduced: -
- assured all engine and geometrical characteristics are correct with reference to the published EASA P68B Type Certificate and Pilot Flight Manual - corrected the aircraft weight distribution - corrected battery capacity and recharge - introduced CFD-simulation for propeller characteristics-
- tweaked the CFD-simulation for aerodynamic characteristics-
- corrected the wing aerodynamic centre position - correct stabilizer and elevator definitions to simulate the P68B stabilator (fully movable horizontal tail surface) - tweaked the aero coefficients and scalars to better match the published performances -
In my opinion, the aircraft now handles much better in air and on ground and, considering the very good external/intern-
al 3D modelling and many liveries, deserves 5 star evaluation
VUELOSIMPLE - NTTB BORA BORA MOTU MUTE AIRPORT MSFS
Ian
I forgot to mention in my previous review, I do have one criticism of this airport - it's a minor issue, but the airport doesn't show up properly on the globe map. Most handcrafted airports have an icon that is visible when you're zoomed out on the globe map, but for some reason this one doesn't. It would be nice if this was fixed, as it would make it far easier to select the airport if we could do so without zooming all the way in on it..
BRSIMDESIGNS - ERCOUPE 415C MSFS
Ian
The ERCO 415 feels great to fly, however, I think there's something seriously wrong with the flight model: you can glide for hours in this thing, and when you land, you need to put the brakes on immediately upon touchdown, or the aircraft will just keep on rolling as if it's on ice at around 40mph until you run out of runway - and this happens on tarmac and even on grass strips! If some attention were paid to making the glide model more realistic, and to making this aircraft stop in a reasonable time upon landing, it would be great.

Has it always was such a high end plane so are the MD-83 and MD-88 pleasure to fly
ZHOUKE SCENERY STUDIO - CHINA-KASHGAR INTL. AIRPORT ZWSH MSFS
Harrison
Awesome rendition of ZWSH. I just wish that there was more custom imagery used instead of the default satellite around the taxiways and airport surrounds. The airport is actually quite sandy / desert in real life, and this version has lush green grass in between the taxiways. The true colour is visible on both Bing and Google Maps, which show no green grass anywhere in the airport. Wou-
ld love a future update that addresses this!
REALWORLDSCENERY - KSTL ST.LOUIS LAMBERT INTERNATIONAL MSFS
Marc
This scenery is pretty good and I was excited for the latest V2 after holding off on V1 due to the performance issues that have been noted, but it's still destroying my VRAM which causes consistent stutters.
