So, what's the consensus? And how about the quality of the planes that come with the Reno Air Expansion?

NO. Buy a (1) L-39 and that's it. I wonder if I can somehow get a refund through steam?

It really depends on what you enjoy. If you enjoy tight racing that can be both technical and rather tactical, I find it very worth it. 

If you don't, buying it only for the aircraft is a bit more iffy. Visually, they're splendid. Audio wise, they're also excellent. They are very pleasant to fly outside of racing but they do have some inop controls.

Cool. So the planes fly pretty good?  What did you think of the P-51?

It's the best of the bunch, followed closely by the Albatros. The Texan and the Pitts are less my thing, but that's personal preference. They're still nice if you're into those types.

Ahh nice, thanks for the information.

And if any real life pilots with that have flown a plane similar to the P-51 has tried the P-51 in the Reno expansion, let us know what you think of the P-51 from the Reno expansion.  Thanks!

Just know that these are racing planes. The range is severely limited from an unmodified plane.

good to know. I want to get the L39

Do any of you use TIR on the Reno planes? If so, does it work OR how do I enable it? Tried the T-6 and after disabling all the 'learner' stuff I ended up with my head in a vice! Went back to a PC-6 and TIR worked. *sigh*

Can't spell.

Is the Reno Air Race a paid DLC or part of the GOTY SU7 update?

The L39 is my least favorite. The T6 and P51 are a simple hoot. Not sure if worth $59....buuuuuut...it's fun for a few laps in the pattern.

TIR is bugged in the sim in general Ron.  They put it in the release notes.   'Track IR may show intermittent behaviour' or something like that.  

When does the sale end?

Do you own the Reno Air Race aircrafts ?

How is the cockpit textures ? Sound ? Flight model  ?

I have no interest in Reno Air Races. Free flight, only.

Thank you
