Hi,
apologize to do not have completely answered a your question.
Here we go:
- FDE: freeware model was inherited from Cloud9 FS2004, the payware was completely rewritten from scratch to correct flaws, ie: the capability to run well above 1.5 Mach at low altitude which was impossible, payware hangs at 1.01 as should be. All performances was tested and corrected to match as close as possible with real performances tables.
- MODEL : exterior completely rewritten from scratch to correct all errors, interior rewritten from scratch to make it completely 3D, no more planars, all switches are working as they should
- TEXTURES : completely redone from scratch to be at highest quality
- SYSTEMS: completely rewritten to be close to real and correct errors and/or missing things, ie: pitch control, pitch up condition, fictional compressor stall at high AOA, boundary layer control on trailing-edge flaps, LN3 INS, etc.. Systems are so close to real that we could adopt the real flight manual as user manual with very few corrections.
In summary the payware is a completely different model that, imho, is the closest to real model we have as far flight model is concerned. (i can assert it since i flew something like 2000 hours on that fantastic airplane... i was so young
)
cheers
