November 21, 201213 yr Interested in purchasing one and the two that are most interesting are the RealAir Lancair Legacy and the newly released Civ Mustang by A2A. Looking for opinions from folks who've flown both and or other suggestions. I don't have RXP gauges currently so incorporation is not a factor in my choice as of now. On that note could someone describe what main functionality is provided by RXP GPS that is not present in FSX default GPS gauges? Thanks much for any thoughts or opinions.
November 21, 201213 yr Buzz, Bought both recently, both great fun... Civilian Mustang takes some mastering but it's incredibly satisfying when you get it right and the Accusim add on is brilliant, really brings the aircraft and the feeling of ownership to life, treat it mean and things will fail. There's some of this included with the Legacy which I think is a much easier bird to jump in and fly off in... So I guess you might as well toss a coin...I don't think you can go wrong with either as fast GA tourers...Mustang has a huge 1500 mile range if you need it, although the Legacy says 1150 so not much in it there either.. Just to throw in have you looked at ORBX's Lancair IV-P? If not check it out, might make it a 3 horse race! I have that as well and it's great, managing cockpit temps and pressurisation is involving too and lets you cruise comfortably over most weather. I think the Legacy is designed to optimal cruise at 8000ft although the service ceiling is 18000 so not sure if that will factor into your decision? Guess it depends on where you do most of your flying i.e. over big mountains I think after flying them all though, if I could only get one, it would be the Mustang with Accusim. The learning curve, penalties for not operating correctly and systems fidelity make it a winner for me and something that will hold the attention. Just make sure you're smooth on the throttle and hot on your rudder control for takeoffs! Good times for people looking for strong, cross country IFR tourers in FSX (Get all 3 if you can!!) :rolleyes: James Hughes
November 21, 201213 yr I would have to say go with the Civi version of the Mustang if you want instruments, or the Mil version if you want just the basics. Both of them are beasts and well worth the money. I love A2A, and while I also love the Realair, the mustang just has something special about it. Plus, it is a great looking plane also!!!!
