Will only be exterior at first, but it's nice to see how it's getting along. http://www.captainsim.com/products/b520/

Having seen one many times at IAG I need to say that the nose looks a little misshaped . Undecided

Looks fine to me, Jordan. I think what you are seeing is the effect that their wide-angle shots have on the nose in some instances. I can definitely see a few shots where it looks misshapen because of that.

One thing that does stand out to me though is the weird livery coloration. I haven't seen a -52 painted that lightly before.

The nose does look a little funky...

...but even a perfect exterior model isn't much.

...and that thing ain't worth a quarter unless it can do this.

Lots of eye candy. I wonder if it flies.

And I thought AlphaSim were the only ones lame enough to do that. I really hope this isn't a new trend for payware.

For this price (eur 9,99) this is a bargain, even taking into account it is exterior only. Amazingly beautiful! Made my first shot http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1263903697/0

And if they never "get around" to releasing a VC for it or a 2D panel, then what will you have?

I'm still just in shock that a company like CaptainSim with products like theirs, would pull something like this.

Makes a bit of money between gaps in full product releases really.
