July 23, 201213 yr As there are a lot of Virtavia aircraft now available for FS9, I thought it would be worth rating these for anyone who is contemplating buying one or more of them. Keeping things simple I am going to rate them on a scale on 1 to 5, where 5 would be aircraft of the iFly 737, PMDG 747, Level-D 767 class and 1 would be perhaps not much better than freeware. Although I have a large number of old Alphasim aircraft (many of which are now marketed by Virtavia) I am not including these as I am not sure if the Virtavia version might be an upgrade on those I bought from Alphasim. Anyway, here goes with the Virtavia aircraft,I have tested thus far: Bristol Beaufighter 3 C-17 Globemaster 4 (would be a 5 had a little bit of attention been payed to systems) DH Hornet 3 F7U Cutlass 3 F-86 Sabre 2/3 F-89 Scorpion 3 Martin Mars 1/2 SH-2 Seasprite 4 B-24 Liberator 4 V-22 Osprey 4 CH-53 Sea Stallion 4 DH Vampire 4 Heinkel He111 4 Lockheed Hudson 4 Clearly this is just my personal opinion and others may disagree with me, but most Virtavia aircraft are very flyable and many, particularly those which I have rated as 4 are really a pleasure to fly, providing you are not a systems fanatic! It would be good to hear the views of others particularly for aircraft I have not mentioned here. Bill
