I have it. It's not complete, yet. They're making significant updates to the systems and over all they work well. However, there a few other things they need to fix.

- Graphics: Here's where I am NOT contented. We are in 2013, and I expected much better graphics than what they've done. Overall it's nice but if you demand high quality textures as the AXE, PMDG 737, or LanAir, then this does disappoints. However, the graphics are much better (by far)than Wilco's and the lighting in and out are very well done- Nice ! But again, the textures look too simple and you can clearly see no efforts were done to match AXE nor 737ngx 9comparing the texture differences). Maybe (and just maybe) we have been spoiled by AXE and PMDG.

-- Speed Brakes: I requested to them (seems like a 100 times) that they fix the "Dramn" Speedbrakes Effectiveness but at Update 0.65.1 it has still not been fixed. This makes me very angry as I want to be able to slow down this heavy a/c especially when descending to nearing approach. And, currently when you're flying and you deploy the speed brakes, the a/c just giggles at you, and keeps flying at the same speed. Fix guys-- Fix it ! I have even tried modifications with AiED but makes no difference. Please fix it !

I will set my expectations for a fixed and complete product. I AM VERY BIG AT SUPPORTING DIVERSE DEVELOPERS; however, if you fail to listen and make necessary vital corrections, your product WILL end-up in the trash can- as I've done with CS, Virtavia Globemaster, SR-71 Blackbird, Wilcos, Airsimmer, TRI 1011, Accusim, Level D 767 and a few others others.

Not getting into the Level-D 767 conversation  but it was Great back in its days I think it was the most realistic Add on for FSX when it came out  but just showing its age now
