This is a fantastic add-on, and everyone with MSFS should have this in their hangar. It was intuitive enough that I could start it up even though it doesn’t have any in-sim checklist, and then I had some fun figuring out the canopy, control locks, and parking brake. All the systems are implemented really well and give the plane a tactile sense of character.
For my first flight took it up for about 20 minutes of aerobatics and canyon flying, and then had a few, well, training opportunities arise. I hit some compressibility in a dive which proved nearly fatal, then proceeded to stall the engines by forgetting to switch on the boost pump before starting aerobatics. I was able to figure out the air start procedure right before I ran out of airspeed and altitude, and then managed to find a runway without any further upset.
If I had paid money for this add-on, I would complain about the hit-and-miss cockpit textures and the lack of sound change when the canopy closes, but both of those are issues that disappear in the background once you’re up in the air with it.
It’s also so loud and annoying that my wife made me turn it down because it was driving her nuts, coming from a VR headset, in another room with a TV on. I have never heard one of these in person, but I take it this is another count towards it’s accuracy.
Thanks as always for the skins JanKees - taking good stuff and making it even better!
