Well this was awhile ago as I published the review in late 2011 (lazy and added it here later). A lot has changed in X-Plane payware since I originally reviewed it meaning the review needs an update then.... Stay tuned.. The exterior in my opinion is not "ghastly". It might not be the best anymore but when it was released in 2011 it was one, if not the best payware aircraft available. An update would be nice however I am not holding my breath.,, As well I did not find it to fly like a Cessna 150. When it was loaded at least 80% of MTOW it was like a brick...
