FSXCENERY - KCOS - CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MSFS
Mark
A large airport, with numerous buildings, a convincing military presence, and a lot of good detail, undone by two fatal flaws. The airport is on a gentle slope, but this mod is flat as a pancake, which dramatically distorts its borders with the world. Also, the gates are messed up, so Simple Traffic just bunches up the AI traffic into tight clumps, not at the gates.
Hopef-
ully the elevation issue and gates can be resolved, at which time this otherwise nicely executed airport could earn a solid 4.5 stars (which is very good for a municipal airport).

Very well designed and a pleasure to fly. You have to remove your Pro version first as some liveries will be duplicated. The radar is very special and unique. I am very glad that there was a special price for Pro version owners.

A very nice aircraft, definitely a must have if you are interested by old planes and/or biplanes. Early reviews on YT noticed a too high roll rate and overall slightly too high maneuverability-
. These "issues" have been well corrected in the latest versions of the addon. Handling is now much more in phase in what you would expect from this kind of plane. Plus other nice updates on the 3d model and panel. Sounds are absolutely great too. Thumbs up for the people of DC Designs for their work on updates and listening to customers feedback.

Towers look great when they are in the right location but New York City has towers located in wrong places. There is a tower in the middle of Time Square and a tower in the World Trade Center Memorial water pool.

PFPX has served me for as long as have been in this community.
Its such an intuitive piece of software that brings my part in flight simulation, real world ops to the next level.
Every single piece of functionality adds to the ever wide variety of options for your flight planning. Sure you cant Profile on VATSIM or trying to create a quick OFP for a flight such as SimBrief. However PFPX makes you slow down, think about your inputs and from what I have used in real world Dispatch Software, its a close replica.
I hope the guys at Aerosoft and the guys over at FlightSimSoft have admired PFPX as I have. It is such a shame that PFPX will leave the market very shortly but its a good thing to know that I will still be able to use it in the future.
I wish PFPX the best of luck in the future, and hope it continues its legacy for what it has and will offer to us is truly unimaginable.

GOLDEN KEY STUDIO - GKS - F-111E STANDARD EDITION

First note this review is based of used with FSX Steam. Win 10 i7 3.3ghz 16gb ram Intel UHD 630 integrated GPU.
Even though it doesn’t say so this product IS compatible with FSX Steam. It downloaded and once I changed the directory to install in FSX Steam I was up and flying in no time.
I have the Virtavia F111 and this one is far better. Way more realistic and better looking all around. The flight model really makes this feel like the real thing. Not too mushy and not too nimble. The F111 was a real underrated Vietnam and Cold War era long range bomber with intercepted capabilities. Built for high altitude and high Mach speeds with great weaponry. It also did an amazing job buzzing tree tops at high speed thanks in large part to its terrain following auto pilot features. Most people think about the F4 Phantom and forget about the aardvark when the subject of speed comes up. The aardvark could go further at similar high speeds than the F4 when appropriately loaded with fuel tanks. Anyway, it’s just a blast to fly.
Love the afterburner and sonic “boom” effects. The addition of wing flex is also very cool.
The pilots have a lot more animations than expected. The seem alive and even reach up to pull down their canopy to lock. They remove their oxygen masks and helmet visors when parked.
My only gripe is I cannot locate a pilot flight manual for this? It would help with setting the auto pilot to the appropriate type of flight or mission.
Fantastic plane.

Needs to be optimized and updated to work better... overall is alright. Not super fun.
SIM SKUNK WORKS - LOCKHEED MARTIN TF-104 G FOR MSFS
Alessandro
I have been waiting for this product for a while, I love the F104.
I want to stress that this review is not amazing mainly because the price is not exactly cheap for what I can see in front of me with v1.0. I am 100% sure that many of these concerns will be resolved in v1.1 and what I am writing will go out of the window.
The graphics and animations are awesome. There is nothing to say about that if not: "chapeau". So many liveries, and sounds are good!
The documentation is a bit "all over the place", sometimes not in the best possible English, and with some gaps.
Several systems have not been implemented (and many not at the depth I was expecting from the product description), but v1.0 already has all the systems you need to go from A to B. The radar is a very very very nice element of the cockpit. To be honest, you have everything you need to take off and intercept an "enemy".
Two things made me think.
- All over the documents they claim that performances are realistic. "Flight dynamics modelled 99% close to the real aircraft; fully tested and validated by qualified real-world F-104" My model in the sim lacks of power, it has rolling behaviours that I cannot believe to be real, etc. Many other users report similar issues in forums. I am not having a go at the developers, but clearly the model is not 99% accurate neither is a "study level" as they claim in their manuals. HOWEVER, THIS IS THE FIRST SUPERSONIC JET THAT HAS ITS OWN FLIGHT DYNAMICS! I am sure it will develop to become amazing.
- In order to manage your game, you need to run an external program. Sorry, I personally really don't like it, and I find the program not exactly amazing to look at either. But this is just my personal preference.
-
In conclusion, I have a strong feeling that v1.1 will deserve 5 stars plus. However, I would have expected more for the price they ask for at this stage and given the description of the product. I would probably buy it again (I love the 104!!), but I spend a lot of money on sims...
