AboutA mid priced aircraft for MSFS 2020 which is sadly lacking in certain areas that are now really a prerequisite for payware. Check out the reviews under the "Articles" tab below.

AboutF-22A for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. | Very nice and predictable with a fluidity to the flight model that enhances immersion. Probably one of the smoothest in the landing regime with no hiccups or quirks. This makes it a pure pleasure to fly. The cockpit is 5 -star accommodation with great, unobstructed visibility.

IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946: Battlefield Airborne TacticalIL-2 Sturmovik: 1946: Battlefield Airborne Tactical 2020
AboutThe biggest MOD pack for the IL-2 series. In fact I'd go so far as to say it is the biggest mod EVER! The World at War pack covers WWII, others cover WWI, Korea and Vietnam. All in all you are looking at 10,000 plus missions, 400 plus maps, more than 1200 aircraft types and about 7,000 object types.

KNQX NAS Key WestKNQX NAS Key West 2021
AboutA sprawling and detailed rendition of this Naval air station in the Florida keys. Has lots of static military choppers, jets and transports with seemingly no impact on frame rates, at least with my GeForce 2080. Hours of fun in this spectacular location which extends beyond the airbase to add cruise ships, buildings and port facilities to Key West.

MiG-25PD (Golden Key Studio)MiG-25PD (Golden Key Studio) 2024
AboutAn all round classic. Once in the cockpit you are transported back to the Cold War and on a mission! Visibility is limited, as it should be because there is no looking back in this purposeful warrior steed. Details such as the wing flex, spectacular afterburner and creaking sounds under high G-load all add to the atmosphere. Immensely pleasurable to fly, it is responsive to sensible inputs and predictable. Those who compare it to later generations of fly-by-wire aircraft are really missing the point! In my short time with the aircraft I have barely begun to explore the flight envelope and can't wait to find more time for it on the flight schedule. one treat in store will be recreating the "Edge of Space" flights which have been available to well heeled western tourists for some decades. GKS is earning a place in the MSFS eco-system as a reliable purveyor of Cold War Classics. 5 stars, no question about it.

MiG-29 Fulcrum  (Deimos Inc.)MiG-29 Fulcrum (Deimos Inc.) 2022
AboutThe "Soviet Super Fighter" is what we called it in the 1980's. Modelled here by Deimos. The cockpit interior has bland textures, however that's irrelevant to me because I use a physical cockpit. BUT - it's in the flight model that the MiG wins! Fantastically fluid and responsive. Does it perform accurately at the extremes of the envelope? Well, (1) I wouldn't really know and (2) I don't think ANY of the ac do, and that's down to limitations of the sim's flight modelling. I also enjoy the engine sounds, which use at least 3 different frequencies and change as you move around the airframe. Great fun.

Project WingmanProject Wingman 2020
AboutAn action-sim-lite which satisfies the need to turn and burn!
Just don't expect to land... or take off. But that's par for the course with this genre. HOTAS are easy to configure, this should be a role model to other developers in the combat-sim-light space. If TrackIR was supported natively it would be perfect in that regard. Project Wingman does what it sets out to do, providing a console oriented shooter with heaps of eye candy and a massive quantity of ordnance!
