Looks like a good model and it should have some systems.

[Anneke]

Yeah great plane but the design and marketing philosophy is..shall we say russian.
No VC, come on! Too bad I'll pass this one. Back to my L-39

[gajit]

They also seem to have forgotten something else - a Pilot!!

Yep - of to see my back seat lovely in the L-39

[peter12213]

Serious no VC? In this day and age too, well thats one big dissapointment for me, and such a historic aircraft too!! L-39's all round then lol!

[DennyA]

$25 for a plane with no VC?

I won't even download freeware planes with no VC!

It's 2009, people.

[BananaBob]

This is sacrilege! LOL The exterior looks great though, too bad.

[noddy]

I love the Vampire and it would be good to have single seat version, but this is a real strange way of doing things!!!

But for £12 I might bite.

Agreed!

I'd buy this in an instant if it had a VC. One thing that irks me is the way the developer describes how they may upgrade it in the future if enough people buy it. I understand the premise behind this thinking but sadly in a recession I can't see anyone buying something they will hardly use just to see it upgraded with a VC in the future.

A crying shame really as the exterior model looks fantastic.

Not sure what you're complaining about - 25$ for a good plane is not that much. Sure it lacks a VC (beeing the reason why I won't buy it) but if you look at other VCless offerings (like DA Fokker) this is not bad at all. And from the makers of the Yak-40 you can expect a lot of depth.

I'm not saying it's not good value, however most people (myself included) consider a VC essential in this day and age. The 2D panel is well and truly dead in FSX, especially if you use TrackIR.

+1 bummer on VC

This is kind of a funny reply Oli. . .you ask what people are complaining about and then admit yourself that you won't buy it because it lacks a VC. . . .ummm that's what they're complaining about, lol.
No one said it looks like a terrible aircraft. . .it actually looks like it's an excellent exterior model, but with trackIR being used widely and a lot of freeware (the L-39 is the benchmark now for payware) sporting amazingly accurate VC's, you have to wonder why anyone, especially a payware developer, would produce a non-vc aircraft. If they expect to sit back and wait to see how the sales go before upgrading. . . .they'll be very disappointed.

Actually the Euro 17 is just for the model, you also have to add postage for the dvd Euro 8! Or Roughly GBP25!!

Think I have changed my mind about this.
