March 22, 20224 yr Britten Norman Trislander is on its way. 😁 (1) Pre-Release Look: Quirky 3-Engined 'Trislander' by BBS (MSFS) - YouTube Edited March 22, 20224 yr by Scimiter Asus Maximus Hero X11, Intel i9 10850k, 32gb Corsair Dominator ram, 2tb Corsair mp510 ssd m2, Gigybyte turbo RTX 3090
March 22, 20224 yr I bought the "Bislander" a couple of months ago, the cockpit model and texture was quite disappointing, looks like it will be the same with this one.
March 22, 20224 yr There's more to flight simulator aircraft than how they looks - like the MND C-22J the Islander flies really well even if the visuals aren't perfect. Edited March 22, 20224 yr by Matchstick

I agree, but since I spend my time inside the cockpit, it's quite important, at least for me, that it's pleasant to watch. Since Asobo release very nice looking default planes, I expect payware dev to do similar or better.
March 22, 20224 yr Personally I lean toward wanting devs putting more effort into how the planes flies so, as long as the cockpit looks good enough to do the job I'm OK if it feels good to fly. Edited March 22, 20224 yr by Matchstick
March 22, 20224 yr If it looks like a 2002 addon then I generally pass even if it has a 2022 flight model.
March 22, 20224 yr Absolutely your choice, but if it's as much fun as their islander you will be missing out.
March 22, 20224 yr Thank goodness for VR/stereoscopic 3D for its ability to make anything look good.😅 I'll just leave it at that...🤣 Asus Maximus X Hero Z370/ Windows 10 MSI Gaming X 1080Ti (2100 mhz OC Watercooled) 8700k (4.7ghz OC Watercooled) 32GB DDR4 3000 Ram 500GB SAMSUNG 860 EVO SERIES SSD M.2
March 22, 20224 yr Love that aircraft !!! I bought the Islander for a friend when it was released. I'll probably buy this one for me 🙂 Edited March 22, 20224 yr by jcomm Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

March 22, 20224 yr I really enjoy the islander and the tri islander just seems too weird to pass up!

March 22, 20224 yr They did well with the sound update for the Islander (it sounds superb now), and they are quick with the bug fixes and added features. I also have the Bulldog but haven't had the chance to fly it much, but first impressions were good. Once again, you have to understand where BlackBox fit with their releases. They do try hard and release updates quite regularly, and I find the aircraft enjoyable to fly, but they are a bit light on the polygons / texturing side of things, so they may not be for everyone. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

March 22, 20224 yr Honestly, the cockpit is perfectly fine... I have no skin in Blackbox's game, but I'll give you some reasons why I buy their products. 1. stupidly frequent updates, both the Islander and Bird dog had like 10 updates and patches not just fixing issues (which some devs don't do, but adding features) 2. the aircraft do exactly what they say... 3. prices aren't bad at all compared to some. 4. they make interesting but also useful fun to fly planes (bulldog, islander, and bird dog) with lots of bang for buck versions and options (bush, float, wheels, etc) 5. developer seems genuinely to care about his work. Maybe the models are slightly less 8k pristine golf tourer compared to carenado, but i like the lived in look, and I'd rather have aircraft that are enjoyable to fly, sound good and give me a purpose to fly. It was only a few years ago in fsx we weren't quite so snobby. is it perfect? no, but does it come full of features and is fun to fly and look more than good enough to match the sim? hell yes.

I agree with this 100%... Also, I went on a binge of watching your reviews last night. You do so well covering all aspects, even when I disagree with you on a couple of things here and there, but it's all SO well done. Bravo!. I am almost tempted to switch my reviews to the video format because of you. Thanks for what you do.
March 22, 20224 yr I have their Islander one of my most flown planes.
