I take it it is FsX native? Unfortunately they're using "compatible" which to followers of Phil Taylor's blog would mean an Fs9 mdl adapted for FsX Dx9.

I thought this statment was rather clear:

"Completely new mode specially for Flight Simulator X SP2 - not ported from a previous version. Fully DX 10 compliant."

I've been looking forward to this one, unfortunatly I've spent my FS money on the Gladiator and Hellcat! Oh Well.

I have all of these guys planes and they do great work,,,never a problem before and I have been waiting and saving money for this for a while but I don't like to have to turn my system security off and then send my system information to active a product "so they can under stand it". I have a lot of products and never a problem with activation. Good Luck?

[Anneke]

As one of the testers I can highly recommend this plane. It's very thoroughly tested and put through it's paces and I've never seen such a responsive and self critical bunch as the guys over at FSD's. Hat's off for the developers and the Commander! :wavey:

[Marlin]

Looks like a very sweet machine, thank for the heads up. :applause:

Paid, downloaded, installed. Installed with AVG and windows firewall turned on with no problems.

My first impressions are that this is another lovely aircraft from FSD. It's very FPS friendly (only tried her with the steam gauges active), the sounds are superb and she handles beautifully in flight. However, she does suffer from blurred labels in the VC which isn't really good enough and lets the aircraft down a little, but if that's sorted in an update I'll be very content with this aircraft.

[doublecool]

She looks like another FSD Beauty, I love their work, I'm glade to here no one else is having any activation issue...:ernae:

I guess I'm just getting old and cranky, but I'm just unhappy with this one. :banghead:


With the analog panel, there's a heading flag on the hsi all the time. Suppose that's a good thing, since the heading bug doesn't command the autopilot, except in a very general way. While it's turning, the V bars for the flight director take off and fly all over the attitude indicator. Thankfully the airplane doesn't follow.

There's no way to tune single digits on the ADF, so that means there's no way to use the ADF (well, unless your chosen frequency happens to end in a "4"). While you're trying to tune the ADF, the #2 comm is trying to change frequencies at the same time.

How this stuff gets released like this is just beyond me. I don't want to be a beta tester, unless I am a beta tester. When I spend good money on it, it should work and I shouldn't be in a postion of hoping for a fix or and update somewhere down the road.

Sorry for the rant on Christmas Eve.

cheers,
steve :wavey:

I'll have to disagree with you Bill...been caught once before by a payware aircraft that was "compatible" and was an Fs9 mdl. I got my refund. Anyway seems this is the full monty so good luck to FSD with their FsX models.

I love FSD aircraft, been looking forward to their next release. Well done fellas Ill be buying this baby on payday.:ernae:

[warchild]

I've always enjoyed FSD planes, and i love commanders. One question though if i may. Whats the Max rated N2 rpm on your engine for it???
yeahh of course it's a trick question. still curious.

[gajit]

Happy Christmas from the UK :friday: Im worried about buying this now for 2 reasons. 1. Will anyone be around to support if the process goes wrong. 2. I am yet again not convinced by the screenshots of the VC. There is a lack of close up views.

Can anyone post some new ones please?

[doublecool]

We got the activation issue fixed...

Thanks FSD:ernae:
