Nice review.

"Overall, the AKD Studio GLF650 is an amazing addon. As an airliner type of person, I was really impressed by this aircraft! I enjoyed flying it and will definitely fly it again. Considering the system's depth and complexity, the price of $44.95 is fair, and in my opinion, fully worth it."
 

How many useless words have been written.
I repeat the basic concept: if a user is interested in product X, he buys product X.
If the user is not interested in product X, he DOES NOT buy product X.
And the reviews?
The reviews only serve to advertise (usually positive) a certain product.
But if the user is NOT interested in THAT product regardless of the "reviews", he will NOT buy that product.
Is it that hard to understand?
I don't understand the purpose of all this insistence in trying to convince users to buy that product.
If you like that product, buy it !!
You can show me all the reviews and positive opinions in the world about how appetizing octopus is.
But since octopus is disgusting to me, it will continue to disgust me regardless of the opinions of others, so I will NEVER eat octopus and I will NEVER buy it.

This is a really good review. It focusses on the aircraft, its real-world speciation, its historical back ground and talks about its feature to give the user the impression as to what its is like to fly this type of aircraft which gives reason this aircraft was develop it in the first place. Nice review of the workmanship of the nose gear and cockpit display. Although he acknowledges the concern that are found on the internet about the texturing, he does not leave you with the impression that it’s a deal breaker due to many more important features that will lead someone into enjoying this aircraft.

Well done.

Yeah it's really nice to see another good addon coming for XP after the X-Craft-series, FF777 and A330 (and the announcement of the 737-Max by Airfoillabs). Now I am really lloking forward to the TBM-update for XP12 😀

Just to add some more feedback - it is based on from what I hear from pilots from the operator I work for who are also flight simming. Those rated on the G650 feel the system implementation is good enough that it can be used to practice flows for their recurrent training.

If that is your only take on the exchange, it seems like you have missed the core of the discussion by quite a big margin.

I simply questionned the statement that this addon was „overpriced“. I personnally won‘t buy it, simply because I have no interest in any other business-aircraft. That is not what he said for himself and I also don‘t know where you have seen that I convinced anyone to purchase it? As seen in the review and in other comments, it seems to be a very good addon and they are aiming for quite a high quality in the systems-depth. I emphatized the reviewer‘s feedback that it was a good value, which confirms what I said. Simply rejecting any review for being only „advertissment“ is pretty ridiculous imo.

Odio decir esto, pero, para ser honesto, FF777v2 y MD-11 no son buenos ejemplos cuando comparas sus sistemas con el lanzamiento de AKD GLF650 y el Toliss A330, que ha demostrado que todos sus sistemas están funcionalmente completos. El sistema más crítico de FF777v2, VNAV, aunque implementado para la versión beta, todavía es un trabajo en progreso con predicción de combustible calculada y otras dependencias relacionadas con VNAV que aún no están terminadas. Por otro lado, Rotate tuvo su peor primer lanzamiento de su MD-11 para X-plane 12 que casi hundió su reputación (y eso me impidió conseguir este avión) antes de muchos de los problemas después de varias actualizaciones donde pudieron eliminar el hierro en poco tiempo. Desde el enlace a continuación se encuentra la lista de problemas que se corrigieron después de su lanzamiento, que muestran el desafío que tienen los desarrolladores al mantener la textura de la apariencia visual que a muchos les importa tanto.

CL650 puede ser la excepción, pero no siempre es fácil tener todos los sistemas sin perder algo, posiblemente en la categoría de textura, que se puede solucionar fácilmente en versiones posteriores que llegan mucho antes con las mejoras que se muestran en el ejemplo de Toliss que en el caso de FF777v2 o Rotate. 

I am in love with the CL650 but the textures at night do not remind me of the CL650 in real life the temperature of the lights especially.

AKD has published tutorial videos for the 650 and 550, so one can obtain an impression of it in action. See
