I didn't want to beat the effort up, but at that price  they really are really stretching. It's too many other offerings that on the surface offer better visuals/modeling/systems. $29.99 I might have bought.

Anybody notice how the fan blades are backwards? Lol!

 

Are you sure?

 

Aerosoft review says: "The engine inlet and in particular the fan, look very realistic."  :rolleyes:

The steel alloy leading edges of the composite GENX fan blades are on the trailing edges.

I know, I'm just referring to misleading review.   :excl:

Way too much money for what's offered. I already have the Javier Cortez FMC, so I'd essentially be paying for it twice. I would expect at that price point something *at least* on par with the FF 757, complete with a custom avionics package. I'd consider it for about $25, but you can't ask PMDG prices and deliver Abacus quality product.

To be honest, overhead panel looks very nice, although the color is a bit off...

Since the product is offline I can't see it, so....what is the price of this product?

It's the same as the FF 757, $60.

That review came up pretty quick!

I can't believe it's priced identical to the Saab 340/757 :blink: :wacko: :O :lol:  the 757&Saab blow this ugly thing out of the water!

Anybody here actually bought this yet and able to share their thoughts? Having a brief look in their support forum right now just shows some issues with activation (as has been mentioned here already), but I'm genuinely curious on user thoughts and the fidelity of this thing. A good, well simulated 747 for X-Plane would be welcome!

 

Their forums say that the product was to be back available hours ago, but still not there, so not sure how soon after announcement this was actually pulled from the store. Patiently waiting is the name of the game, I guess. Looking forward to hearing real purchasers' thoughts.  :smile:
