Customer Reviews

Flight
This program is the best for long flying the airplanes fly themselfs it's great and it's up to date with everything.

Best Expansion Pack Ever
I bought this for my son like a month ago and he say's it's great!
But he also said that the ILS and the autopilot took time to get used to.
So overall I rate this 5 stars.

Good details but...
I bought this dvd but when I started using it unfortunately I found out the following defects:

1) The arplanes don't stay still even with the parking brake pulled and the engines on idle (minimum power). They keep "inching" forward.

2) Transponder cannot be set. The tower keeps telling me that there is something wrong with my transponder. At that point I went to set the frequency by hand using its console but it does not accept the value that I want to set. It automaticaly goes back to zero untill the tower cut me off and cancels my IFR flight following.

3) There is a nice effect with sparks when, rotating during take off, the tail of the plane touchs the gruond. On my Flight Simulator the sparks start as soon as I turn on the engines and they won't ever go away.

Graphic and details are great but I cannot play with them because of those troubles. I would like to use these plane more and find out all it can offer but unfortunately my experience with this product stops at two stars...
