June 1, 200917 yr I downloaded the demo and put it at Sigonnella NAS in Sicily. Looks fantastic, but who wants to just walk around and inside and airplane when you can fly it?So I pushed the throttles forward and kept adding trim, and lo and behold eventally the thing took off! None of the instruments worked, nor did the flight controls. However, I was able to steer it well enough using differential thrust. The tour of Mt. Etna was nice, and then I decided to return to base before anyone noticed a C130 was missing.I could steer it enough to get out over the Med and headed back in the general direction of Sig, but eventually crashed into an olive grove a kilometer or two to the south. So the demo is flyable as more of an exercise in silliness than anything else but it was nice to see the gear animation and what it looked like in the air.VC is on a par with the rest of CS's stuff, and the split-level design makes for an interesting walk through. I had forgotten how relatively simple jet controls were compared to big props! This has as many levers as A2A's Stratocruiser and probably a similar pilot workload. The demo. at least, gave me 20+ FPS around Sig, but I don't know how that would be affected with unlocked gauges and fight controls.Anyway, if you want to see for yourself what it looks like in flight, download it for yourself and check frame rates.
