A great trifecta combo.

I bought the Got Friends Mini-500 this morning. Combined a test flight of it at the new freeware Edwards AFB (plus the separate aux field) scenery available at Flightsim.to plus my new Tobii Eye Tracker 5. The three products combined together make for one of the most enjoyable flights I've had in MSFS to date. I haven't bought many add-on aircraft for MSFS because so many of them are of models I had owned in previous versions of Flightsim. However, the Mini-500 is such a cool and unique design that I couldn't resist, especially considering the $15 price. The Edwards AFB scenery is very framerate friendly and highly detailed, with a ton of fantastic small details all over the place. Combine the two with the excellent Tobii Eye Tracker 5 and you get about the best type of experience that MSFS can offer.
PS: It seemed appropriate to take a first test flight in the Mini-500 at KEDW using the included "Stealth" scheme that includes mini guns. Make sure you purchase directly from the Got Friends site for the Stealth model due to MSFS restrictions on the display of weapons (which is of course an absolutely absurd restriction).

The dependencies are listed in the edwards download description. But these seem to be adders, not textures. The only issue I have is flickering main hangar walls on the building just north of the tower. The 500 is a sweet little craft.

I saw that Into the Blue liked the Mini 500. It would be ironic if the best chopper in the sim so far is a representation of such an unsuccessful design. I was frustrated by my attempts at the Asobo helicopters and would like to think it is not all my fault. Maybe I will give this one a try.
