• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Thats pretty awesome.. I worked on the original by Craig Richardson of Classic Wings, and it was a fantastic little plane..
 
Looks great, but I already like the freeware Optical (+dog) and I'd rather save my $$$$ for other things (the forthcoming JF Hawk springs to mind... or saving towards new hardware)
 
Seems very reasonably priced and nicely modelled, but indeed, I wonder how it compares to the freeware offering!

The ORBX 3D model is more accurate and higher definition than the freeware offering. The textures of the ORBX product are both higher definition and more realistic than the textures for the freeware offering. Those observations were made just by comparing screenshots of both, as well as comparing to photographs of the real thing.

I don't have the ORBX version yet, but I plan on getting it at some point - it looks very well done!
 
The screenshots are gorgeous, but it really doesn't suit my flying style. I tend to do A to B air taxi or small charter emulation flights, like Key West to Cancun or island hopping around the Caribbean.
