MiG-25PD (Golden Key Studio)

An 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.
