Hold onto your hats when pushing the throttle forward on this baby. This F16 simulation add-on to Microsoft Flight Simulator X has speed to burn. The aircraft external and internal views are exceptional. The flight controls are responsive and smooth. Fully integrates into flt Sim X full scenery package. Recommend that you have a fast computer so as to be able to turn up the scenery options. This is an add-on simulation to flt Sim X that everyone can enjoy from rookie to expert arm chair pilot.
Plus - easy install, nice variety of liveries, most of the buttons work.
Minus - hud and mfd's are frustrating. They would not work if you simply select the plane from the free flight menu. The only way I could get them to work is to select my default cold and dark Cessna in the free flight menu, hit fly now, then start the Cessna, and finally change to the F16 in the drop down menu. So it's a little dated, I'm more used to Captain Sim when I just load up the plane in the free flight menu and I'm good to go.
Overall - I liked the plane but as usual in an aerosoft product, there is a little quirk which isn't doesn't match exactly other developers standards. Maybe Microsoft should have produced a guide for developers so everyone could follow the same standards. I spent a couple hours just getting the HUD to turn on by discovering this work around, and given the cost, this should have worked out of the box. I wouldn't spend over 15 for it, 10 would be better.
System - Quad core, Vista 64, 6 GB memory.
