With a lot of advanced throttle control (adding & retarding) it can be flown, but it does make it hard to stay on target through maneuvers. I just purchased this plane and yes I knew it hadn't been updated in a very long time, but I would surely hope they don't abandon it for use in the current and future versions of XPlane. I really like this aircraft and think it would have fantastic potential if the throttle & prop controls are updated to work.
