Hi WombatBoy, I purchased this aircraft yesterday, the very first payware aircraft that I have ever brought. I think the aircraft is very good and it's a fair price too. However, the lack of of a functional 3d cockpit limits its use for me. I run three instances of X-Plane from a single machine across three monitors to get the correct perspective, so a 2d panel doesn't really work for me. I'm not bothered if the cargo doors don't open, or that the on-board toilets don't flush. I never sit in a passenger seat and look out the window, unless I'm on a real aircraft. In X-Plane, I like to sit in the pilot's seat, so I don't need anyone else sitting there. Steven. Just to add, I suspect that this aircraft probably uses fewer computer resources compared to it's competition. That is something else it has going for it.
