I have thousands of hours between the PMDG bird and the Zibo, so I don't want to jump into a half-baked jet quite yet. Of course, if the tablet works with performance calculations, and the jet isn't linked to Asobo's lousy autopilot and route management capabilities, I may pull the trigger. Otherwise, I'll keep building hours in the FBW and spend my money on FSreplay when it comes out instead.

I watched the videos. the thing is, I did not see any flight plan routes on the MFD That and . If they add a TOD pause, it could be a hit. LOL 🙂

I'd pay $4.99 for this plane.

Did you purchase Coronado's 182? How much did you pay for that? if not, how much would you pay for it? Do you believe the work gone into this is less than the 182 from Coronado?

Go on then, I'll take one for the team and buy it. I'll report back in a bit.

Why don't critics wait until some trusted individual tests the plane? All this petty speculation is just that: petty. At a time when the picking is slim, some folks may not have a problem spending $20 just to spend some time with a new plane. I purchased the King Air, knowing that it would provide me with some temporary entertainment until other, more serious planes arrive.

I wouldn't exactly refer to it as petty speculation, More so as keen observers of low quality products when they are released, Goes with being in Flightsim for 20 years for many users here. But each to their own.

In all seriousness, its not *that* bad. for 20 dollars you get an allright aircraft wich is just 787 gauges in a 737 shell, with wings and aerodynamics and all that stuff, the exterior i find is the most lacking part, grossly innacurate and well, looks like he cut the corners, literally

 

Okay, downloading now. 457.88Mb install file size, plus two PDFs a small one of 144Kb with installation instructions to the Community folder, a bigger one at 2.27Mb which has 17 pages and covers starting it up, programming the FMC and using the Autopilot. 15 seconds left on downloading the exe file. Stand by...

Seems to be just a guide on the default 787 FMC

It will keep us busy for the next 3 days hopefully until the next update. 🙂 

Admins, please don't lock this thread. 

Taxying to runway. You know what, so far it's pretty good for 20 quid. It's no iFly or PMDG, but it's better than you'd think for the money. Update you on flying when I get to 5R.

Looking forward to your initial impression Chock 🙂
