I would give 5 stars for the 300CBi BUT for now I give it 3.5. I five points off for having to go to plane maker to get rid of the pilot so the sunglasses don't block the cockpit view. This problem has is old enough to have been fixed by now. Only custom-service response was from user group people saying "No problem, go to Plane-Maker" or that it is Laminar's fault. BS! One full point off for the RIDICULOUS post-crash sequence in this aircraft and their Bell 407. I don't know about any other Dreamfoil products. A few seconds is ENOUGH. Not 30 or 45! I have to do an aircraft re-load from developer menu to get on with it. This is a simulator! You don't have to kill me with a heart attack or stroke getting angry waiting to fly again. I WILL NOT buy another Dreamfoil helicopter until they tone the post crash sequence down. A fragile metal helicopter DOES NOT bounce. Maybe once or twice. Give me a break! Otherwise I like both the 300 and Bell 407. (Not fond of the 407 force trim.) Yes, I know, don't crash and you won't have the post-crash nonsense. Many X-Plane aircraft have silly crash scenes but Dreamfoil stuff is down right nauseating. I was a Warrant Office Helicopter Pilot in 1968-1971 and this little 300 brings back old memories of Primary Flight School in the TH-55. I am looking forward to the CH-47 Chinook by Dreamfoil because that was my main machine while in the Army. But, if they use a forcre trim model similar to their Bell 407 and don't tone down the post-crash I will pass on spending any more money. I'll stick to the freeware Chinook, one of the best flying aircraft in X-Plane, helicopter or fixed-wing IMHO. Thanx for listening, Headwind H
