Just revisiting this again today, and I have to say it’s a very nice flyer. If you collect warbirds, this is a must have.
The poor reviews back when it came out convinced me not to buy it. But I’m a big fan of Grumman planes, particularly the warbirds. Are you playing on MSFS 2024?
Yes, 2024. Sounds are good, textures are excellent, flight model is good. It’s a little under powered, but you can tell yourself it’s cheap on gas. 
Yes, I completely agree. It’s one of my favorites…
It’s not the most amazing warbird in the sim, but it’s also not a piece of junk. It’s fine, and that’s okay. Get it on sale if you can - at a discount, it’s definitely reasonably priced for what you get. I’d still say it’s a little pricey at full retail, though.
I don’t fly it much. I picked it up on sale for $10 and for that I think it’s fine, but it’s not that great… Almost all the warbirds I have from other devs are better.
The liveries for the plane were horrendous when it was released and totally turned me off to the plane. Have they been fixed?
It came with only one texture, and lots of mirrored textures, so repainting was a challenge. As far as I know nothing was ever updated

It was only ever intended to be a model of one specific aircraft.

A study in how to limit your market. One of the most famous aircraft in the world, and they’re going to limit it to a single livery? smh
I would agree.
The advertising blurb starts by describing the aircraft type, but then narrows down to its use for aerobatic display only, as this one aircraft is now used.
Looks like there are some good fan-made liveries on flightsim.to for the Avenger!
