My experience with Just Flight Aircraft
I have had alot of experience with JF aircraft. The first ever flight sim addon i got was he JF viscount. I have bought most of there "retro" products and i have to say im sorry but there slowly going downhill. I was looking forward to the VC-10 thats in production but after the mess of this HS 748 and the BAC 1-11 im not sure. But read on to see why i feel that this isnt the greatest product out there.
The good Bits
So lets get into the good bits of this aircraft. Im not going to lie there aren't many. However the bits that are good are Really good. The animation of the folding rear stairs is nice, smooth true to life, the GPU and ground services its supplied with are nice, and the sounds for the BETA range on the props are really nice (the alpha range is a bit out). It comes with 14 liveries, as well as some really nice community liveries that you must download seperatly. http://forum.justflight.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31151&title=repaints-to-share

The not so good bits
Right here we go. For starters the price, at £24.99 its not cheap i'd be happy to pay little more than £15 for this. The vc is gimmicky and the switch sounds are disgusting, https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/158030922586061321/2EA2DC406A4F9D49298D8E38C15A263EDDC1149C/?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside|256:* Now lets get onto the really bad bits. I dont have the best computer in the world i'll accept that however i get 25-30 fps in the VC of the PMDG 737. When running this on minimum everything in the settings i could nt get it higher than 7 fps. If anyone knows how to fix this please comment. Many of the textures werent h'd and i was sad to see that it looked like little time had been put into making the exterior model's proportions look correct.
Is it worth it.
At this moment in time no. Definitely not, if just flight patch it then maybe but i dont think they will. I am reliably informed that the Just Flight dove is a great aircraft and from the demo i have tried i would have to agree. Get this its cheaper, nicer looking and just better.

Thanks to rutnut6 for the info on the Dove.

I hoped this helped anyone thinking about buying this. Clear skies everybody.

The Dove is great, just VOR navigation is a little finicky. Thanks for the review.
