I have it and love it. The Level-D 767 is to payware what DM's 1-11 and RP's 748 are to freeware; the top of its class. Don't let the intimidation factor rule out purchasing this one. Even though the manual looks daunting, after a few tries it'll be second nature. I've got a P4 3.4G with 1GB ram and...

Well, sadly the initial buyer feedback in the Simmarket 'review' section isn't too promising. http://secure.simmarket.com/product_reviews.php?products_id=2232 These are the some of the same folks who developed the payware 717 under the former 'Vans' banner...which got similar disappointing reviews. ...

Great video

Not exactly news, but a friend recently sent me this clip. If you've heard of Bob Hoover but never seen him in action, be prepared to be amazed. The iced tea "trick" is fantastic! And to think I have trouble just walking & chewing gum at the same time...let alone flying in a roll and p...

Omwings Fokker F28

Anyone have this...or ever heard of this? It's news to me.

The exterior model looks a little off...but the panel looks decent, as does the VC. For $14 USD, it seems like a fair bargain.

I am tempted with the recently released Me262 at present, anybody got it?
Got it. It's a decent looking model and flys well enough...but there really isn't a whole lot of functionality in the systems. It's definitely a 'Crtl+E' type of plane.

I thought the last F-15 was a real let down. The exterior was very nice, but the cockpit was a real downer. Anyone else experienced this? Same here. That really put me off DSB/Iris stuff for a while...although I did buy their Harrier, which was a vast improvement. The shots of the new F-15's VC loo...

If you're looking for a real challenge, try the Nemeth Mi-24 Hind. The myriad of switches labeled in Cyrillic and the lack of English tooltips make it a real exercise everytime you attempt to fire it up. A decent quick-start quide is available in English, though. Of course, you could give this a try...

Another Russian masterpiece

http://samdimdesign.free.fr/HTML/tu124.html

Finally released after a long development period! Just as a heads-up, the "get file" link on Samdim's website isn't working at the time I'm typing this, but if you go to Avsim and search for 'Samdim' or 'Tu-124', the file is available.

Hawker 800XP with full VC & Cabin done like the Eaglesoft Citation 10!
I'll second that. Also like to see a decent Belfast, Comet 1, Mi-12, Mi-26, and Il-62...all with VCs and good systems replication.
