flyinhawaiian Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Might wanna cancel that master caution light Nice vid man!Thanks-But it looks so pretty! Yes I have lots to learn...great!Touche! I think the thing that impressed me the most isn't so much the graphics, although when you stop to look at the details, its stunning, but the way it flies beggars belief. When you rotate, it doesn't LEAP off the ground like a lot of flight models do, but it actually ROTATES. Nose up, positive rate, gear up, establish climb pitch, and you're on your way. Its nothing short of miraculous.That said, some of the details I noticed around the graphics side blew me away. Like the reflection of the beacon on the rest of the aircraft, or how when it fires, shadows are drawn by the antennas on the spine of the plane. Or the shadows of the throttle quadrant when the glareshield lights are turned up. Was definitely a pleasant place to sit and stare at for my delivery flight last night! Quote
Simmo W Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Posted May 9, 2011 Yes, it definitely feels heavy, you can feel the force of gravity working against you. Quote
flyinhawaiian Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Yes, it definitely feels heavy, you can feel the force of gravity working against you. From the few jets I've flown (Cessna Citation CJ1, Beechjet 400) it seems pretty accurate. I remember the controls being heavy, but smooth, which is good because it allows you to apply measured force for precision, rather than throwing it around like an Extra 300! Quote
OlaHaldor Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 I'd like to see a review as critical as the Dash 8 on the CRJ. Put the hype aside. Be honest. I wanna know if it's worth it whenever I can afford it. Quote
Simmo W Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Posted May 10, 2011 Keep an eye on the blog, Chip, Mateus and I will be pulling it apart (yes, it will take 3 of us).I can already give you MY honest opinion, just from one takeoff. THIS is the plane that should have been released for $50 :-)Or $10. Everyone should experience it. A more thorough opinion piece in the works.. Quote

If you don't have this, you should really consider it! Quote
