That looks pretty stunning. I have always thought that with Project Opensky, their models are visually brilliant but have never been complemented with a decent VC and so seem a little incomplete.

This is perhaps a new chapter for them. I wonder if the Feel There payware model will take a direct hit as a result of this. I reckon so. :think:

Looks good. I've always fancied a decent one of these, but as Vegas said, the cockpit has always been missing. Should be quite a blast - overpowered, but with some unusual characteristics.

Wonder if they'll include the warning placard: "Warning: Contact ATC to check that landing gear is extended!"

The photo shows the one i mentioned in another thread,the pic was in the flight mag,it turned out to be an electronic box,that was at fault,and not the pilots,they managed to take off and do a go around from this,it damaged the flaps,as you can imagine,i think luck was on thier side that day.

Yes, very lucky. And worrying that this can happen with three greens showing. Hence the warning placard, to check despite what the computer tells you!

Give me a good 2D panel anyday! I dislike VCs so much that I remove them from each aircraft I use.

I know this is a VC but it looks no better than the 146 / ARJ 2D panel by Matthais L. The ERJ isn't my cup of tean anyway, so I am a bit biased.

Used to really dislike the 145's, but since working with a lot of them recently, I hate them even more. They are a bugger to trim and so nose heavy. If you have a full pax load and little bags, you will be almost certainly need ballast in the back hold. Plus they go tech so easily. I do like it in FS though, and use the Wilco one alot.
