Anything produced by Lynn and Bill is worth it IMO. There is a great attention to detail that you get for a very inexpensive price, as well as a lot of neat addons, you would not normally expect.

I will be posting screenies soon. Grin

Well, IMHO, I think Bill's stuff is sort of elementary. If I'm going to pay for a plane(which I dont do very often), I feel there are many more out there that provide much better flight characteristics and visual candy (Carenado, for one). But, not being a real payware junkie, I still prefer freeware aircraft so I can invest my $$ in hardware, etc.

Maceo, which of Bill and Lynn Lyons Custom Classic paywares do you have out of curiosity?

I own all of them. Nice thing about their paywares, is they are off the wall, not overly common, classic aircraft. Plus for $12.50 you tend to get a lot. More often than not, an extra aircraft or two, some great scenery files, and even such things as the Sikorsky S43 amphibian package, you get a Hawaii landclass file that predates WWII, a 1930s vehicle to tool around in on land for a different perspective, a Kellet Autogyro to fly around in, etc. Nicely rendered aircraft exteriors and interiors, and I havent had any issues with flight dynamics at all, hence my curiosity to which you own that you have isues with.

I had the Cub for FS2002 and currently have the Bobcat for FS2002 and FS9 and the Ryan STA. Both of these latest models I feel have some flaws in the flight model. For instance, I think the climb and stall rates for both appear to be a bit off (too aggressive). In addition the response to flaps I feel is unrealistic (although I must admit I have never flown either one in real life).

I know that I have seen others tweak the flight model a bit to try to correct it, but to be honest, I have not been interested enough to even try them out.

But not to be critical, I just feel that even given the extra goodies he throws in, that my money might be better spent elsewhere.
