How does the work by these two developer compare? Do you like one over the other?I have the new SR-71 and the B-1B by Alphasim, but have no experience with Iris. Do they have a comparable level of quality?

Never even heard of Iris. Have a link to their site? I searched the web and found everything in the world for the word Iris except anythign FS related.

NM Found it -- http://www.irissimulations.com/news.phpThey look about the same as Alphasim to me . . . .

I haven't bought any of Iris's recent releases, but my previous experience says Alphasim are a shade ahead, but it's close.

Looks like IRIS is DSB Design. They have a lot of awesome freeware, some of the best. I always wondered if they had payware. lol

I have the Iris F15C, the panel is ok and the VC is the same but the exterior is nice. I dont do much flying out of the cockpit so for me I am a little disappointed but not enough so that I dont enjoy flying the F15. The loadouts for it are great though quite alot of options as far as that goes. I really wish for an F15 F14 similar to the Cloud 9 F4 or the Old Lago F16 (which it seems is being done by the same people now with Aerosoft for FSX). The VRS F/A 18E is also looking real nice cant wait for that.http://www.vrsimulations.com/product_FA18E.htm

WOW! You're right. That F18 looks sweet! If they do a VC to match that quality I'll be pouncing on that like a kid in the candy store . . . .

I think the screenshots show only the VC and not a 2d panel yet. There was a big thread on the Alphasim forum as they will be selling it on their site.

oh yeah... VC and avionics are off the roof, nobody will come close to it for a looong time.
