I've been looking at the Aussim Warrior, I've read the reviews, read afew posts, still want more evaluation, esp now that is has been out fora while.First - what does it offer that the Dreamfleet Archer doesn't (assidefrom being a Warrior and not an Archer - They are both PA-28's :().What do you think of the 2D panels - how good are the FD's, mainly dothey feel right? I don't care about flying on the numbers as much as itfeeling like a real airplane. How are the sounds? Are there any bigissues you have with it? Is there anything that sets this one apartfrom other addons? (Notice I didn't mention the model - lol it looksfine to me, I don't really stress exterior models as you do the flyinginside the plane :(, plus freeware models can look just as good aspayware, it's what's inside that counts for me).Basically, is it worth $30 CDN when I already have the Dreamfleet Archer, Carenado Cherokee 180 and Dakota?

FYI - There's an in-depth review of it in the current issue of Computer Pilot magazine. Gives it very high marks.

Another review can be found here:http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/review/ausswarr.htmBasically the few cons I've found are:-Slight "cycling" of engine sound at high RPM / you can hear it's the same sound clip played over and over-Needs a LOT of nose-up trim on takeoff, way past the TO region unless you want to hold the yoke fully back to climb-While the panel-part of the VC is very detailed, other interior details like the seats, doors etc. are not as detailed as e.g. the Carenado PA28-180 or the new DF Bonanza.Other than that it's an excellent aircraft.

The aussim warrior is a nice package, very easy on frame rates - even in virtual cockpit view - and the instruments update smoothly. i also think that the vc interior is not as sharp or as detailed as carenado or dreamfleet aircraft, but you get two different panels for the two aircraft modelled, warrior l and warrior ll and there is a v1.2 upgrade currently in progress which will add some new features.

The real Warrior IIIs take a lot of nose up as well and still have you holding back on the yoke.----------------------------------------------------------------John MorganReal World: KGEG, UND Aerospace Spokane Satillite, Private ASEL 141.2 hrs, 314 landings, 46 inst. apprs.Virtual: MSFS 2004"There is a feeling about an airport that no other piece of ground can have.
