JD_LincsUK 0 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Anyone got this? I'm thinking of getting it as a semi-permanent Air Hauler region, but having scanned the screenshots at SimMarket, I'm not so convinced. Some of the textures seem a bit, well, iffy. Like the aprons on some of the airports. JD Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi JD, You may want to hold on a while, Micke has had this product to review for a while and I think he has mixed feelings about it. Watch out for the review in the next few weeks. Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Like Joe said I'm doing a review of Iceland at the moment so if you can hold on for a few weeks you'll get my thoughts on it. If you want advice in advance drop me a PM. I don't want to spill to much of my work on the forum before the review goes live. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Purely from looking at screenshots and reading comments in various forums, it's a vast improvement over the default, but lags behind Orbx in terms of quality and technique. If I was going to fly in Iceland a lot (even if it's just for transatlantic stopovers), I'd prob90 get it, simply because the default is so dire. But if you're thinking of waiting for someone else to produce a "better" version, I think you'll have a very long wait. Link to post Share on other sites

There are so many nice areas to run a base in. JD Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 As much as I hate to admit it, AVSIM's reviewer beat me to it. They published a review last saturday that you could check out while you wait for mine... Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I would rather wait for the the most honest, informative and reliable review Micke, yours! Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for you vote of confidence Joe... But i'm still a bit bummed out that he beat me to it And without spilling to much I can say that I wont be quite as positive as the AVSIM reviewer. Don't read to much into it, it's a good product, but there are some flaws in my opinon... Link to post Share on other sites
JD_LincsUK 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I saw his review within hours of it being published - but didn't read it. When I learned you were doing one, I lost any possible inclination to read the AVSIM one. Not that I'm saying their reviews are no good - but I have found myself disagreeing with them more often than not. Us Brits are a little less forgiving, methinks, especially where the talk is of payware. JD Link to post Share on other sites
