This will be freeware for FS2004, and from my research on other forums, will be released either late this week, or sometime next week!!
I would assume that it will make it's way to all of the major sites once it's out, including this one.

....well...I'm positive that the designer said that it will be an FS2004 compatible model, and I guess it may work in FSX as well. I don't own FSX so I can't comment on that sim.
The information on this release comes from the FS2004 section of the Sim-Outhouse forums.  Wink

As a beta-tester for sectionf8, I can say authoritatively that it will not only be better, It'll drop-kick all its competitors out the window, payware or freeware!
I'd post some more shots, but I am at school and away from my FS machine.

Hi everyone.

In case someone hasn't heard yet, the files are up at Avsim Smiley
Beautiful model by the way. And the engine sounds are quite spot on.
I don't have anything installed that really compares to this one. It is better than many payware planes, seriously!
