Well guys I gotta say I'm surprised...
Flight 1 release what has to be up there as one of the best new payware aircraft add-ons ever for FS, and I drop by to my old buddies at Flyaway and there's not mention of it ! 🙄
Where's Original Grunge when I need him 😂 .
Anyway, you can check out the spec at www.flight1.com but needless to say, this is one special aircraft.
Here are some bullets that give my first impressions :-
- Amazing set of utilities come with this. You get a Training Centre that interacts with FS and shows you how to operate and set up all aspects of the plane .... it really is amazing stuff 😀 😀 ... This is one complex plane but if you don't like reading manuals then this is for you - you can learn it in practice, not in theory!
- Stunning, beautiful, gorgous exterior model - she is just a BABE !
- Excellent 2D Panel
- Fab VC (not that I use them).
- Amazing systems coverage.
- Flight dynamics are on a par with (if not better than) the Level D 767.... fantastic to hand fly, although takes some practive, she's slippery and you can really feel the inertia from having those engines at the back!
There are one or two teething problems, such as the VC ... it actually gives amongst the best Frame Rates of any VC ... BUT the inital loading of the screen takes 7 seconds (every time you select the VC - they are working on this).
This is a wonderful plane - hugely under represented in FS which makes this version even more welcome ..... Goodbye LNAV / VNAV and welcome to the 1979 Omega Navigation System ....... Very clever stuff.
I'll try and get a screen print and put it up here.
For those that are looking for a new complex airliner to Master and are bored with the usual Boeing and Airbus offerings, this is a really special add-on. 😉
