One of the best fixed-wing aircraft in SL aviation
I'm not a Naval Aviator so I can't say if this is "realistic" or not. (Not that that's ever stopped anyone else.) Though it does enter and recover from tailspins like a regular airplane. And if you're an SL pilot and don't know what a tailspin is, I rest my case.
What I can say is that this is one of the most rewarding aviation experiences you can have in SL. The physics are unforgiving. You crash if you screw up. You can't ignore things and assume it will all work out. But that's what makes it so good!
The plane is designed to be flown in mouselook. If you've never flown in mouselook, it's different. But once you're comfortable, you'll never want to go back. It operates mainly on chat commands, but I don't see how that's somehow inferior to a hud. I've always flown with chat commands, I have RL aviation experience, and I've never once thought "oh man, I wish I could click a picture of a wheel to put the gear down."
Modding is easy, just turn the scripts off before you mess around with it. And read the manual so you know what you're looking at in the cockpit and how to make the best use of it. But this thing will change the way you'll pixel-fly and it feels awesome once you see your work pay off.
This Bird Ain’t Just Pretty. She Flies Like the Real Deal!
This aircraft is nothing short of a masterpiece, one that sends chills down your spine. Real. Bone-deep real. I've flown MFFK products before, and if there's one thing this brand does best, it's nailing visual accuracy. Every line, every rivet, every detail meticulously recreates the real deal. This one isn't just about looking real, it flies real. It's a game-changer.
This is not some "press start and go" toy. No. Just starting this beast is an experience in itself, one that gets your adrenaline pumping. Connecting ground power, running through the startup sequence, firing up those two engines in order, feeling the RPMs stabilize as the growl intensifies, watching the instruments come alive and settle into their proper positions, this is it. This is the moment you realize your aircraft is ready.
And flying? Pure bliss. The control feel is just right, like you're in an actual conversation with gravity and aerodynamics. I'm a seat-of-the-pants kind of flyer, and this thing delivers an absolute full-body experience. Stalls, stall warnings, spins, recoveries, all of it feels spot-on. You don't just fly this aircraft; you learn its quirks, you tame it, and eventually, you become one with it.
2 surprises:
1. Cargo Handling. This isn't just a cargo plane in name, you can actually get out, manually load and unload cargo with your own hands, and complete a full transport cycle. That level of immersion? Unheard of.
2. Carrier Ops. This aircraft comes with an entire carrier training system that lets you practice launches and recoveries anywhere you want. Insanely good value.
And then there are the smaller touches, this thing is a goldmine of detail, always offering something new to discover.
I'm moved by the level of dedication that went into this aircraft. You've got a loyal fan right here. And now, I'm making a wish: we need an airliner. Big, small, regional, long-haul, I don't care. Just know that I'll be here, waiting for the day it arrives.
Made by pilots and for pilots!
So, where do i even begin with this unique plane..
Lets start with its looks : Simply stunning, the mesh is great, the texture is nice, its detailed, and the parts are animated and not just for show, you have the flaps rudders elevators doors landing gears etc they are animated, which is great!
oh and its modify!! the scripts are no mod, but the mesh is totally modify!
Then the sound, it sounds amazing, from the moment you rez it and open the door you will know a lot of love has been put into creating this bird, the hydraulic sounds and then the gpu sounds and the apu, and the engines? its just*chef kiss*perfect.
Ok, so it looks great and sounds amazing, but its not just that, this plane is made to fly! it belongs in the sky, when i first sat in the cockpit i knew it was made for flying not just looking pretty, the visibility was really good, i was aware of my surrounding the whole time, and the avionics inside the cockpit work!
Now to the heart of this plane, its handling (scripting), its just great, its very stable, and it gives you feedback of your input, you are actually flying a plane and not a brick, so pay some attention when flying it! be careful not to stall! haha. and did i mention that it has rudder steer in BOTH mouselook and third person view?? thank you so much for that feature!! im someone who alternates between both views and this is a lifesaver for me.
some tip for whoever is reading and considering getting it : when landing, you can skip the flare and almost slam it! the strong landing gear is designed for that (up to you).
another tip : to rudder steer while in mouselook, hold the left click and steer it! that easy.
Conclusion and TLDR :
Simply amazing, very recommended, looks great, sounds nice, and flies great, if you love flying and eager for something to scratch your itch of well crafted planes (and then some, like GTFO and more features) i recommend this plane, 5 stars from me.
It's a beautiful plane. This is where the advantages of the product end.
So, let's begin our “debriefing”. First of all, the airplane is not to scale. If you are slightly above average height - be prepared that the airplane will be “a little bit pressed to you like jeans that you bought a couple of years ago”. The second point - I have already bought vehicles from this store. Namely helicopter MI26-crane. Very cool and good helicopter. And most importantly - easy to control. Here you will have to read a lot of meters of gad that would take off. And if the helicopter has a HUD - here you will have to print the command in the chat (last century). This is especially difficult, for people - who do not know English well (I am among them). third problem - This is not working demo. If I tried the demo version - I would never buy this airplane. But the demo version does not work, and I believed in this seller, I thought that everything will be easy, like with the helicopter. And it wasn't. I would like to get my money back, because I will not use this airplane.
Maybe I wouldn't want to return the money if this plane cost 1000-2000L. But over 4000L an extremely unsuccessful product.
The perfection of SL aviation is ICE TECH
From strt up to shout down everything is so realistic, you can literally feel the roar of the turboprop engines
THIS build is very penny worh
Love it <3
ANTOTHER SOLID PRODUCT
i love it worth every single Linden dollar everything about this aircraft makes me smile from ear to ear from the startup to the shutdown the landings are super smooth the sim crossing is out of this world i have experienced no lag while flying this aircraft the detail is amazing the cockpit is an absolute work of art this isn't the only product i own that you've but this aircraft stands out from your other aircrafts this is a great step in the direction that will make SL flight amazing thank again for another sold aircraft
