It's pretty good. I just wanted a good quality Beaver that wasn't the stock one. Quite a few liveries, and models with floats, skies, bush and regular tires. Maybe a little much for such an old model, but I'm enjoying it anyway.

Next thing I plan on snagging is the SSW F-84F!

Thanks for the answer.
One last thing, is it bug free ?

I'm asking this because I bought the Dornier 27 (published by Aerosoft, also 7 years old, only for $37, a real bargain !) a few weeks ago and it came with 2 major bugs.
One made the windshield completely opaque when flying trough rain/clouds and the other makes the rear windows opaque too.
(you'd think by now they'd have had the time to include the fixes in their download, nope, would probably cost even more if they did...)
I was able to find a fix for the windshield but not for the rear window. Ask on their forums a week ago, no answer...

My patience is wearing thin with aerosoft, what's happening to me with the Do-27 is unacceptable, not for a full price 7 years old addon.

sorry for the rant

@plainsman
Wow, that's impressive. Is the entire europe covered with this level of details ? Or some area have received more love than others ?

I'm sure I've heard Aerosoft are going to do a "Beaver Extended" just like they re-worked the Twin Otter X into the "Twin Otter Extended". It's pretty scandalous that in 2014 the only Beavers for FSX are the default one and the original Aerosoft one which if I'm not mistaken was the very first FSX native payware aircraft.

As for the Do-27..... it was made by Digital Aviation. It was originally an FS9 addon and was ported over to FSX but never made fully SP2 native before the lead developer quit the scene. It's a great aircraft and a crying shame it never got made fully SP2/Acceleration compatible. I agree it doesn't reflect too well on Aerosoft that they are still selling it at full price and the product description does not mention it's an FS9 portover and all that entails...

Digital Aviation don't exactly have a squeaky clean record either. They've done some really great stuff over the years like the Piper Cheyenne and Diamond DA-20, but they've also got a few black marks against their name.... the failure to properly update the Do-27 to FSX being one, and their failure to keep their promise to develop a VC for the FS9 and FSX Fokker 100 they did. They've also been developing a CRJ for what seems like forever and a day. Whether or not that ever sees the light of day is also perhaps open to question.

Check Flight1 aka Simforums as mentioned in my previous post. It seems they have a fix.

Thanks guys.

I've also searched the DA forums but those are the same links as on the Aerosoft forums.
Honeslty, I've spent more time looking for a fix than flying the plane.

I know the Do-27 isn't from aerosoft but they are the publisher of the DvD version and they -use to- provide support for it on their forums. I doubt they do that for free, so it means they are making profit out of this plane and if they're unable to provide support anymore I have a serious issue with that.

Anyway it's off-topic, I'm sorry for that guys.

Stormtrooper ! Come here ! Put your face against the monitor, I'm going to kiss you !

The link on the simforums works, don't understand how I missed it.

Thank you very much

EightBall,
The only bug I've seen so far in the Beaver is in the VC. There is a hand written checklist to the left of the yoke that glows in the cockpit at night, like it's backlit. But it's so minor it doesn't bother me. When I was looking for a Beaver I think I read a thread somewhere on the Aerosoft forums that there wasn't any immediate plans to do an extended Beaver, but didn't say that it wouldn't happen at all.

I'm relentless when looking for a fix for an aircraft i pay for. The Alpha jet wasn't payware, but i spent a lot of time looking for that Luftwaffe repaint. Joined vGAF forums just to get it lol.

Thanks for the feedback Billyote.

@Stormtrooper
I thought I had looked everywhere, I joined the aerosoft forum just for that
Thanks again for the help, much appreciated !

Real Air Spitfire Mk.XIV Contra-Prop Prototype.

Very nice... You can never go wrong with a Spitifre


Just checking out the new Iris PC-9A.... fairly short flight from Alice Springs to Ayers Rock. Orbx Australia SP4, Orbx Alics Springs, Aerosoft Ayers Rock.

Awesome shots. Does the Aerosoft Ayers Rock offer significantly better visuals than the freeware offering (OZx field + Olgas)?

Beautiful!

You've probably already seem them but:

Check out the screenshots on the product page:

And the freeware version from OzX3:

If the Aerosoft one was a full price airport at €20 plus I'd say no it's not worth it. At €10.95 it's very cheap and a nice refinement over the OzX one, which of course is still pretty nice and like all the other OzX stuff a good example of great freeware.
