Milviz Ju-87 StuKa has been released!

 

 

That looks good, and I do like their aircraft, but I must resist. ;)

[WildBillKelsoe]

I purchased 2 addons for FSX:

1- PBY Catalina by aerosoft (which is so nice)

2- Captain Sim's C-130 experience all in one package (still discovering, but OK)

 

I will post video reviews on the first page. I would like to thank all those that offered suggestions, and I can say with confidence that my next 2 purchases will be Airbus A320/321 extended by Aerosoft, and Cessna Citation Mustang by Flight1. I would appreciate if you subscribe to this thread as I constantly update with reviews from now on.

 

Cheers everybody, drinks on me! :)

Nicely done, almost effortless inputs. If you press space you can use your mouse to look around, making your head movements a little more fluid.

Damn, I have not been keeping up with them. I may have to get that as well.

I take it this^ can fill out the left MCDU on the airbus X extended? If so, please let me know cuz I just purchased airbus X extended and very happy with its details.

Sorry mate, don't fly the airbus, so I can't tell you. The AS-bus-extended must be pretty good, but it's not on par with simulators like PMDG. Once FSlabs release their bus I might fly it.

Is The VRS, FSX Superbug A suitable Training Tool For CD's Future F/A18E?

 

Hi Guys,

It occurs to me that there is a high fidelity F/A18E available for FSX, produced by VRS.

 

I appreciate that a lot of this is conjecture atm but I was wondering what peoples views were on whether or not this would be a good/accurate 'training tool' to get up to speed on the F/A18E's systems etc?

 

I ask in eager anticipation of CD's F/A18E hopefully some time next year (dare I say/hope for early next year). It would be good to get some of the learning curve out the way with before CD's release.

 

The only real questions are:

a) How well modelled is the VRS Super Hornet

b) How well modelled will the CD Super Hornet be?

- One assumes that if they are both done to a very high and realistic standard then there should'nt be much difference between them in terms of using/learning the systems and I for one would love to get ahead of the learning curve pre DCS release of the CD Super Hornet.

 

Any thoughts anyone?

Does anyone own/use VRS Super Hornet in FSX - how is it?

I own the VRS Superhornet it is a very well done addon for FSX. You will learn a lot about the Superhornets characteristics when you fly it ideally you want the following for FSX:

FSX

FSX Acceleration

VRS Superhornet plus TACPACK(both payware)

Javiers Carriers(freeware)

AICARRIERS2(freeware)

Dinos T45C(freeware to learn carrierops with)

and vLSO(freeware-used to grade your carrier landings based on real life carrier landing grades)

There is also a couple of freeware mods for the FSX Acceleration hornet:

FSXVBA Hornet

Sludges Hornet

Interesting?

Cool. ND does make some nice stuff.

[Suchacz]

I would rather see this beautiful beast in DCS. I hope that one day we will! :thumbup:

Got a feeling we might just! :music_whistling:

[Suchacz]

If I remember it correctly, it was mentioned in the "DCS World Overview" video...

[Scoggs]

Simply put it is amazing.

 

To be honest. I hope CD reaches VRS' level of fidelity.

 

If you can run FSX the I highly suggest the VRS Rhino because it is nothing short of amazing, especially with Tac-Pac.

 

EDIT: I own the VRS Bug and have litterally 100's of hours in it. CD and VRS also use the same radar(apg-73)

[SkateZilla]

there's a Reason the VRS Superbug continues to win "Best FSX Addon" awards..

 

Simply put, because it IS the best Addon available. The quality of the product is unmatched.

 

If i were to come back to FSX, the VRS Bug would be the reason why, I miss it, but I cant afford FSX, just having it installed gives me a reason to buy terrain packs and stuff.

[mvsgas]

I tried VRS and did not like it and did not believe it to be very accurate. Specifically anything engine related, Radar (A2A or A2G) and some other small things. Most are limitations from Flight simulator, but I do not think it was a great simulation, I am sure is very good, when compared o other FX addons, but I do not believe VRS F-18 would be helpful.

[-Rudel-]

If FSX is too expensive or can't run well on your machine, why not give Jane's F/A-18 a try?

 

The FM may not be the greatest, but at least the avionics are detailed enough to mimic VRS'. I had no issues transitioning, because I was familiar with it. Even the carrier landings.

 

Learning to get a feel for flying it in DCS should be no issues as long as you know the avionics and check-lists. Which JF18 can help out with.

[SkateZilla]

there should be a new Jane's F-18 Mod coming, where it's been completely overhauled, as a Team has acquired the source code (or so I've heard).
