This version works better on the FSX base program than the same plane downloaded for the FSX Steam Version. It just seems to operate without jumping and stuttering. The settings are the same on both platforms. This is worth the price. The plane flies great, takes off quick, and wants to keep flying, so you got to force the thing down. Arm Spoilers if available, or even have them out a little when landing. Lots of power in those engines.

This aircraft is simple to fly and very detailed in and outside of the airplane. The sounds are excellent. The only problem is getting the rear cargo door down to the ground.
