December 29, 201312 yr Author I'm thinking of getting the DC-3 and Constellation. They both look really nice and I need some old radial airliners in my hangar. Yeah, those were the two I was thinking about also.
December 29, 201312 yr Commercial Member Hmm... the DC-3 is not one I'd consider, not with the rather excellent freeware offering out. Myself, I'm considering the Schweizer 300CBi, since there's an HTR profile for it, plus perhaps one of the Razbam Harriers. But then, the Schweizer looks slightly dated, and I've heard so-so things about the Razbam Harriers, so I might be better off saving my pennies... Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
December 29, 201312 yr Tbph, I looked through their inventory once or twice.. couldn't find an aircraft that seemed worthy of it's price tag. Dc-3? very high quality freeware available and not only that, but someone at SOH is now doing a high quality classic cockpit to replace the current modern one! The Constellation is a great aircraft and I wish for the day a really hq addon appears.. this one looks really dated. I think it's so dated, they included it with p3d v1.x. Same reason Iris included the freeware texan IIRC. I mean, even if you spend just 10$ on it.. I'd get Alabeo for that money. The only thing perhaps worth considering are the razbam harriers.. one of them I think, should actually be good.
December 29, 201312 yr The only thing perhaps worth considering are the razbam harriers.. one of them I think, should actually be good. While not perfect, I agree, a Razbam Harrier would be worth $10. I just can't really find anything else that interests me, so it's really $19 for the Harrier. Any thoughts on the F-111 Aardvark?

December 29, 201312 yr Author Yeah, one for $10 would be better. As it stands I'm buying zero but I'd buy the Constellation alone for $10.
December 30, 201312 yr Thanks for the heads up. I just took advantage of the deal, twice, and saved an extra $6 using my reward points from previous orders. Got 4 planes for less than $10 ea :yahoo: . I got the Airbus A340 500/600, DC-3, Constellation, and the Lionheart DA40. Nature Boy
December 30, 201312 yr I got one of the Harriers and the Rescue Pilot missions. The missions are rather shallow, but they improve a bit when played in FTX scenery (rescue base is situated in Wales) and with ASN running (nice winds when flying low into the hilly areas). One of the missions plays on the Isle of Man, which isn't included in any FTX EU region?!? The Harrier is interesting to study, and I included the Harrier models in Heli Traffic, so they show their STOL and vertical capabilities as AI traffic, as well. What happened to AVSIM
December 30, 201312 yr Being a sucker for all things military, I also ended up going for one of the Harriers, along with the Aardvark. I had $3 worth of points which I applied to this purchase. Only time will tell if I got a 'deal' or not!
