I just bought her, my DF Archer needed a buddy :-lol, and I really like it!!The external visuals are top notch, the VC, although slightly blurry in some spaces is also done very well. Haven't really messed with the panel yet (I'm more of a VC guy myself) but it also looks pretty good.The dynamic shine and reflections look fantastic, I am really impressed!!Thanks Carenado!:)

Bump!Maybe somebody else out there is looking for a decently priced Dakota!:)

Hi Shane,I agree, a really nice job by Carenado. I love the Dakota. Nice to get in and out of those shorter strips.Can't help it, I'm totally hooked on GA aircraft. I am going to install her in FS2004 and do an IFR from Forks to Seattle-Tacoma.CheersHenning"You know that you are low and slow when you get a bird strike from behind..."

One of the smoothest flyers around too. The Dakota was my main ride for about two months straight--which is some kind of record for me.

I agree, I all of a sudden got hooked on GA. I used to only fly the bigger jets and military aircraft but I tried a few GA aircraft and WHAM! I was hooked!I'm so hooked in fact, that I just bought the DF Archer, DF310, Carenado C210, and Carenado Dakota :-lolIt was like a flurry of payware products for a good 2 days! LOLAll are excellent and all are a pure joy to fly!!!!!!
