This is one EXCEPTIONALLY FINE aircraft, shipmates! Besides being extremely detailed, and having very accurate flight dynamics; this aircraft is an absolute BLAST to fly!MOST highly recommended!!!!

HelloHow can this have "very accurate flight dynamics" when no examples of this aircraft were ever built or flown ?

Ok, excuse me. Poor choice of words. A US Naval Aviator provided input for the creation of the flight dynamics. To that end, they are as accurate as possible. NC

I'm not usually that interested in fictitious airplanes in the sim, but this one looks very nice - and the price is certainly attractive!

I am spoiled by the VRS SuperBug and DCS A-10c. I'd buy more a/c for FSX but few companies are even trying to match what VRS has achieived. I guess the cost/payback equation is unfavourable. cheers, Noel.

I will only buy aircraft that EXIST! Stan

To each his (or her) own, obviously! But the quality of Razbam's releases, regardless, are truly outstanding in my opinion. Having worked on numerous USN aircraft, I can say first-hand that Ron Zambrano really goes out of his way to recreate aircraft for simulation as accurately as possible. Navy Chief

It does look good, but I also only purchase aircraft that either did, or do exist.

It is SO much fun to fly!!! NC

Do you WORK for them??

My my, I had heard stories of the atmosphere of animosity on AVSIM forums, but had not personally experienced it until now. No, I do NOT work for RAZBAM. Do I assist them in any way? Yes. I am retired from the US Navy, and Naval Aviation history is a hobby of mine. I occasionally do research on data for RAZBAM's projects. In this particular case, I had nothing to do with it's development. But I found it so enjoyable to fly, I wanted to share my thoughts on it. Navy Chief

HelloThere has been no animosity shown to you here, the respondents are simply stating their preferences regarding aircraft that have actually existed and are modelled realistically. The majority here go for realism first and formost and many will also be comparing this one to addons such as the VRS-superbug and Lotus Sim's L-39 Albatros. http://www.vrsimulations.com/FA18EFSX.htmhttp://www.lotussim.com/ Anyway I am glad you are enjoying the Razbam F/A-201 and welcome to the Avsim forums.

This add-on looks awesome! Since this is a "what-if" aircraft, any arguments regarding the FDE being unrealistic are pretty much moot. RAZBAM wanted to create something different they thought the community would enjoy, something that is not mainstream. I commend them for that.

HelloWhat looks "awesome" about this addon, I have looked at the screenshots and it looks okBut certainly no more than that, the bar is much higher than that nowadays

It looks like it has a nice VC. It probably has a weapons load manager (knowing RAZBAM). It's different looking (I like the whole Etenard/Mirage/Ford look), people who puchrased it seem to really like it, etc.. etc.. You know, add-ons can be looked at for what they are and how they stand on their own. They don't all need to be compared to something else. Having said that, there are really no other decent payware add-ons out there like this one that I have seen, at this price point, so one could say that this offering actually does "Set the bar" for what it is.
