What an incredibly detailed review. Wish I had seen it before buying the plane but I am always skeptical about links in forums that are new to me so I rarely click them. I'm glad I did! Trying to figure out why I cannot post a review on the x-plane.org store myself, don't see any links to add a review. Does this site have exclusive permission to post reviews? Any way, I bought this on sale for $19, so no regrets, it is a great plane with some very neat features. But also some very annoying issues that would seem easy to fix so I'm not sure why they haven't been fixed. For instance: The FMC is okay but why is there only one? There are two positions, pilot and copilot yet only one FMC. I like to have the legs page on one and the progress or nav/radio on the other. The lighting in the cabin is also weird not having any individual lights for each seat. They have them for the pilot and copilot, adding 8 more over each seat would seem pretty easy. No auto throttle? If you use the VNAV feature on the first flight it will engage an auto throttle, based on climb, cruise and descent profiles, although the descent doesn't seem to work for some reason. I think this is an XP11 issue and not the plane. Same issue with the radars as the FMC, only one option for both sides. Cannot have terrain radar on one side and weather radar on the other. Not fun flying into Telluride without both showing the way. I use a 2017 iMac with 16gb RAM and 2gb VRAM with XP11.41. Tried with XP11.50 and Metal but did not work. No problem with 11.50 and Open GL. I also installed FlywithLua and the terrain radar mentioned and both work well. This plane has lots of its own lua scripts which are easy to edit to personalize your experience. For music, there is a script called sounds.lua in the Custom Avionics directory, open with text editor and find the music1.wav line. There you can see you can add as many wave music files as you want and call them anything you want as long as the files match what this script says. I added 10 Bad Company songs and named the Music3 through 12 and placed those files in the Sounds\music directory. You can get wave converters just about anywhere. When in the cabin, just select any of the music players above the tables and the songs will play in the order you placed them in the script. Each click will start or stop and advance. The display screen in the cabin is also a cool feature to personalize using the tv_screens lua script in the \custom avionics folder. Using the same idea for naming files and placing in the \tv_screens directory, I added 10 PNG files with a 256 X 256 pixel size and now get a kick of seeing my pets while flying at 41,000 feet. Thanks again - happy flying!
