This is a buy for me! Pricing is good. Features look to be outstanding. It even has the nose gear extension for take off.

Where? I cannot find any texture files even, yet it's in my MSFS. All I find are three text files in the Content Manager. Where am I lost?

Look for a justflight F-5 folder in your community folder.

To be honest, the textures of the model itself (except for the VC) are just horrible.

Simply nothing but text files in my Community Folder. No Paint Kit, no Textures. Yet, it shows up in MSFS?

I bought it immediately. The one by Venom is going immediately to the boneyard.

Bought it too!

I think the control for the dragchute is reversed.

I'm afraid I'm with Javis, only really interested in the (N)F-5A...

[Cazzie]

I am assuming that the texture.base is the one to use for repaints. be nice to have a wireframe.

Cazzie, I pinged DC Designs on Facebook. Paintkit's not in the initial release but sounds like it will be in the first update.

"It will follow, just making sure there are no deal breakers in there before updating the package "

Danke for the update news.

Just took a quick test flight with it. Overall, it has great potential, but I'm sorry to say it seems it was released a bit early. Some cockpit functionality just isn't working properly. Nose gear extends on ground with the switch, but won't retract in flight before trying to retract the gear. The course and heading knobs on the HSI don't seem to be working for me. Maybe the F-5E doesn't have them (I simply don't know), but I don't see toe brake animation. As Cess pointed out, the drag chute handle "cockpit tip" is reversed. Could be other things, but these really stick out. Hoping that they'll release an update soon.
Caveat to my post - I didn't dig into the manual first, so it very well could be user error on my part with some of the items I've noticed.

I've bought it as it is a jet that I have a close affinity with in the real world.

However, having looked at it in my hanger and in the sim I have to say the base textures are really poor and that, alongside my previous comments on the pilot figure, make it unlikely to inspire me to even bother to use it at this stage. I have so little time to fly the sim and there are so many other great aircraft to fly.

I do want to support Dean and I enjoy his F-16's but so far out 'of the box' this has been really uninspiring.
