August 25, 201312 yr I was browsing recently uploaded aircraft and saw this beauty (http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=179037&CatID=fsxac) from Thomas Ruth. Ruth has created many memorable aircraft including civil aircraft like the A330/A340, and also airports like EDDL Dusseldorf. I haven't been making reviews recently for a whole slew of reasons - studies, computer re-arrangement, and real world obligations. I'm going to say for now to expect reviews every 2 weeks or so. Let's start the review, shall we? Installation: Installation is quite simple. Extract the files, move this there and that here, and start the sim! Exterior Model: I have to be honest here, military aircraft aren't my thing. I'm much more a fan of civil aviation, so begin to expect that as my primary choice. This aircraft however, while just a prototype looks beautiful. The four-engines look absolutely scary. The wingspan is easily 3/2 that of the aircraft. ^Highlighting the engines!^ ^Wingview^ ^Highlighting the cockpit, gear, and once again, the engines. Virtual Cockpit: The cockpit looks extremely simple and gives you the feel for the average German WW2 fighter would be like. ^It actually looks very nice in there. ^The view in front of us.^ Flying: ^Gear up over my hideous default scenery.^ ^My personal favorite view of any aircraft really.^ ^My miserable landing in a field near Nuggs Flying M airport in FSX, in Texas. Conclusion: If you want a WW2-era German prototype long-range bomber [i know you're out there] then you should get this aircraft. It's really fun to fly and feels genuinely heavy as it would in the real world. P.S. Sorry if this is a 'lite' review, it kind-of is. I didn't have very much time today to work on this, and I knew I needed to get a review out! ~See you all in a few weeks with my next review! Regards, Jeremy Chesney
September 2, 201312 yr Thanks for this review of a very interesting & unusual aircraft. I do love the unusual as well as the 'low 'n slows'. I always appreciate the time people have taken to do reviews. So sad that no-one comments or says thanks!. Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
September 2, 201312 yr Author Thanks for this review of a very interesting & unusual aircraft. I do love the unusual as well as the 'low 'n slows'. I always appreciate the time people have taken to do reviews. So sad that no-one comments or says thanks!. I was quite surprised after the wide success of my Project Airbus A380 honestly, thanks though! Regards, Jeremy Chesney
