    Thats pretty awesome.. I worked on the original by Craig Richardson of Classic Wings, and it was a fantastic little plane..

    curious to see if this is much better than the freeware one?
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    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.
