  1. Hi All

     

    Thanks for all your comments. I've downloaded both the Cherokee and Comanche pilot's manuals, devoured them over the week, and they definitely seem like what I want. I must admit that the Comanche seems like a better option because of its higher speed (Thanks for the pointer, Captain Coffee). Brett, I'll have a look for the "all aircraft in one" link as soon as I've downloaded.

     

    CAT3508, why, in heaven's name, would you would to leave SA?? Especially Cape Town with the mountain and the sea, and four seasons in one day, and Jacob Zuma...

     

    But to not get off-topic, let me go buy me some 'plane.

  2. Hi Joe

     

    Thanks for the response.

     

    As you may recall, (:old-git:) you gave the RealAir Legacy a 10/10 and realism played a huge part. I am looking for a complex GA single prop that is highly realistic (i.e. accurate flight characteristics, complete with any weird dynamics that may be present in the real aircraft), and that is served by impeccable documentation. I used to fly a real C172 about 20 years ago in Cape Town and I've recently purchased FSX:SE to get back into the more technical aspects of nav and flying by the numbers. One can only fart around for so long in clear skies doing sight-seeing, until you need to study some IAPs and get into the soup.

     

    There seem to be quite a few C172 add-ons that are quite accurate but I would like something a bit faster that can handle longer cross country nav's (VFR and IFR) and are perhaps slightly less forgiving that the 172. The Legacy seemed like the perfect option, especially with its tendency to maintain its speed if you didn't do things right through the whole approach. So, it's not so much about eye-candy, of which there is plenty, but about getting 'real'.

     

    Any other suggestions?

     

    Thanks again for a great website! Your ethos of trustworthiness and fairness is valuable.
