    No, it's recommended, but there is an option in the installer for non FTX setups.

    Well I managed to squeeze the A2A Spit IIB into 98TE - it's really short and rough; you really need to take advantage of the uphill slope, and be careful on the brakes so you don't nose over when you hit bumps. I don't know how long the runway is, but it's a real challenge for a very small, mountain strip. Kinda dark, dawn pics, but some good detail if you click on them. Of course you can't hear the birds chirping :)

    Really nice small, grass runways. Lots of great little details on the fields and useful added improved textures and features in the surrounding area.. I hope you do more in the series! They are, unfortunately a bit too small for my current favorite small aircraft, the TBM-850; will have to find something a little better suited for short field work.

    Glad you posted that Kiwi... I think my reverse problem was due to loading the aircraft after another that had some custom throttle work.... it's all good now :)

    It's pretty good... reasonable Prop lag when behind engine core spool up. Sounds are good..... but there is no actual reverse. I looked at the .cfg and there were some odd entries in there - I think the problem is in the airfile, will continue to investigate. I rechecked the Carenado King Air and PA-46 and their reverse is fine. Edit: disregard reverse problem... configuration issue on my end

    Whoever worked on flight handling, this is an amazing pattern flyer... no kidding. The Nav-drone stuff with long climbs cruises and decents on autpilot bore me personally, even if it's realistic, so I did some pattern work with it; it really shines there. If you like to hand fly, this is a great handling, VERY believable model; it wouldn't surprise if the TBM factory pilots helped with this, it's that thorough. Totally unexpected, pleasant surprise on my end, lol.

    Yes it does! You can select clean, or 3 different tank options with a control panel while in game, single player. Multi-player only has one tank option. Many interesting custom features on this airplane.. it's fairly complex. As others have said, you have to read the manual to identify them.

    That is impressive! Should tide people over until the M2M Mirage 2000C comes out... then be a nice partner with it. It's nice to know pilots of the real thing helped refine the flight model!
