One of the best planes I have ever bought.

SibWings Release Their An-2
I haven't found a single bug. There is a slight learning curve however the plane is forgiving and a joy to fly. Graphics are great. Documentation is great. The plane is so stable and easy to fly it almost seems wrong.

SibWings Release Their An-2
So far all I can say is wow and this will be one of my all time favorite planes to fly. The beast handles great. I haven't had time for a proper test yet. So many working switches and knobs its a bit overwhelming yet a forgiving plane.

I don't know about the other person however the ground loop effect is not so much the plane its self as accu-feel from A2A providing a little to much fuselage drag in a crosswind landing. It makes it easy to over correct the wing tip will hit the ground or you will ground loop. Yes the tailwheel was locked and I did correct for crosswind. Its similar to landing the default Microsoft J3 cub in a crosswind where it wants to flip at low speed just before stopping.

Duct tape and superglue work best for me.

The manual was never a problem for me there are lots of sights to find a free version of the POH and if you can't find it by the plane you can normally find it by looking up the engine like someone already stated. I also found a free version of the checklist and it would be simple for someone to port over and put it into place. I flew for a while last night and I did re-download the staggerwing and the compass was fixed as someone else stated. The plane is extremely easy to ground loop as also stated by someone. For me the prop controls Seem fine at max however if I bought it back to half it would slow the RPM then surge back up again almost like it cycled twice or something through the 100% of pitch. Also fuel tank selectors the text seemed to all say left tank on everything. I didn't get to check for proper operation with it and I didn't check after the new download. I will try to do more testing today. Overall this is a great buy at $19.95 as others have stated. Any bugs that exist should be simple fixes and lack of documentation is easily fixed.

If you need a checklist this one isn't perfect however here is a link. Haven't found a good POH yet http://www.faatest.com/simchecklists/FS9B17SW.ZIP http://freechecklists.net/simchecklists.asp

It doesn't have a gps. You might get a small one into the area where the radio sits however I like the fact it has no gps. Slow flight was good accufeel had the plane shimmy at around 50mph followed by stall horn No real spin on the plane just a drop in altitude. I did force a small spin. Not sure how real the stall was however I didn't expect it to spin much with a biplane designe.

Landing was smooth as silk. Something seems to be up with my magnetic compass in the VC. I might reload see if it clears up. The compass is black with no numbers. Can't comment on flight dynamics to much since I havn't flown the real one. However the plane is easy to fly. Did a loop and barrel roll no problem. Going to try some slow flight and stalls.

Accufeel V2 - anyone got the turbulence working?
I've been flying my Just Flight DC-3 from Houston, Texas to Columbia in South America. Landed in Panama last night and have had great results along the way. I have had to climb or decend at times because the air would get rough making it hard to hold a course with the plane.

Can you manually enter a flightplan?
Yes you can make a multiple waypoint flight plan in Plan G and load it. You can also make a multi waypoint plan from the FSX flight planner. FSX has always had the limitation of single or direct waypoints in the default GPS. Basicaly you have 2 chioces a flight plan or fly direct to each waypoint then enter a new waypoint when you reach the last one. I also use Plan G and its a great little utility to make FSX plans.

The Rans S-7 Courier with a tundra and ski version would be nice also. We could use more nice light bush planes. Or here is a video of the new Rans S-7LS Courier. Great little bush plane.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvZP46YtCl0&feature=player_embedded#!
