THANKS for the honesty! I'm SO tired of buying planes because I believe "unbiased" reviews from fellow simmers or youtubers telling me these planes are the best things since sliced bread.

Why don't you rent it for yourself and try. Then make your own decision for yourself instead of listening to others. I personally enjoy flying the plane. No one has commented on how well the plane flies and performs.

I did:

I would love to see some screenshots of these "second rate textures", because so far I have not noticed anything awful in any of the screenshots or videos that I have seen. I remember some people getting worked up over the "rubbish" VC textures in the P3D version of the PMDG 777, at the same time that I was flying the plane and wondering what the hell they were talking about.

Having said that, I am the first person to criticise the use of low resolution textures anywhere in a flight simulator, so I am quite prepared to be proved wrong!

The textures look good on my end also. Not sure what's all the bad textures complaints are about. I'm no expert but what determines bad textures by people here. I would like to see what their talking about.

The rental idea is an interesting one, but it has it's limits, time being the biggest. And it's not a matter of just "listening to others". Over the years, most knowledgeable people learn how to read reviews/opinions and filter the highs and lows. In a forum like this, we also get a feeling for posters who's tastes and use models are similar to our own - as well as those that are not. There's value in that. It's not a matter of blindly adhering to others' thoughts, it's taking in available information and considering it.

That's what this group is for, after all.
