With the amount of hours i spent in the free F-22; I knew I will be buying this one. Bought is on JF yesterday knowing there is a bug and happy that this AM we have the fix! Thank you for NOT making this a Microsoft store only item as that would have taken months for them to publish a fix (which is why I avoid getting anything from there). Few items to note:
Personal thoughts so far:
-
HUD text (other than speed and altitude) is a bit small and wish it was bigger (I am on a 24" HD Monitor). Speed and altitude is visible good but other items are too small. .
-
Good manual. Thank you for detailed work on it. Got it cold started without issues.
-
I know F22 uses a lot of fuel but I think usage is still excessive. Of course, I do not know the real specs but current burn seems to be beyond realistic (I did see TMS response to this; still think burn rate is still on the excessive side). Just IMO.
-
I like the different flight model of this compared to other planes. I need adjustment in the way I fly but I am liking it. Great job!
-
External view: default view has the aircraft a bit farther than others. I can zoom in a bit but would be nice to set it as default.
-
I think seeing the alerts / status screen should either be the default screen view or added somewhere as always visible by default. Seems these messages should not be hidden by default.
-
I know the plane has auto-trim. in External view HUD shows it is always 0. It would be nice to have indicator what that trim % is even if we cannot control it (same with flaps).
-
Default inside view of right small monitor / Attitude Indicator PFD: Left section & the speed view is blocked in default view (just me?):
