I noticed that only one aircraft had mention of a real pilot having input into the design of the flight although Heather may have had some from the PT-19 pilot.. Is it safe to assume that the other aircraft, while representing fine works of art and motion, may not be accurate in terms of flight s?

It would be nice if the authors mentioned who did the flight s and their credentials. After all this is a FLIGHT simulator.

I am currently developing a stratoliner for Fs. Being that I am unable to find a Pilot who has actually flown one There will be no pilot testing the aircrafts flight dynamics. Does this make it any less of an aircraft for Fs? I think not. You have to realise that within the limits of Fs if you make the airfile to use the numbers for an aircraft you will have a pretty accurate version on how that aircraft would fly. However being that it is a computer simulation you will never be able to get the whole true feeling of flight Even with a test "Pilot". Saying that Aircraft that weren't tested by "Pilots" are nothing more than pretty things to look at is an incorrect statement. My answer would be that if you are wanting a true representation of flight then you should head to a local FBO and take a few lessons. Besides if it didn't fly like a Real Stratoliner would you even Know it?

After reading this article I realised, I 'missed' quite a few beautiful downloadable planes!!!

So thanks for the review, I'll expand my FS aircraft fleet with some real beauties. Such as the MD600, Alpha-Jet and the new FFG DC-10

Regards,

Evert

Just so you know the links for the A-26 links go to an Ohio trail train sim file.......Looks pretty cool, just one problem......Well 2 actually...One, don't have train sim and 2 I really wanted the aircraft............maybe I can find the files through a search......oh that and the file it is linked to is about 46 megs......ouch....thank God for cable modems........
