First off, great representation of the c152 really liking this plane; however, in the interest of developing the plane to exact form I'm seeing an issue with the shape of the rear window. The JF model has a curved lower portion of the window, the real plane has a flattened or straight portion of the glass where it makes contact with the top of the fuselage just forward of the tail fin. The lower portion of the window as it follows the top and side of the fuselage just seem a bit off when compared to photos and videos of the real aircraft. Also, and again I don't want to come off a nick picking, but the top of the cowling in the JF model at the prop when viewed from the VC shows the slight hump where the spinner meets the cowling, this "hump" is almost not visible from the pilots view point. Please don't take my comments as complaints, I just wanted to bring these points to your attention in the hopes of a future update. I am also in favor of a wheel pant option, I think the 152 looks great with them.

Perfection for 25 bucks huh ?

Come on guys..... lets be reasonable here.

Some of these criticisms are plain over the top.

Hi Steve, 

We'll take a look at your feedback although it may be difficult to make model changes at this stage.

Thanks
Martyn

GabethePilot - 25 bucks, sounds like you got quite a deal, I think most of us here paid 41.00 US dollars, Like I stated, I'm don't mean to be to critical, but for a product that is touted as a study level sim, it would be nice to see it modeled correctly. The industry bar has been set high over the last few years, and the plane has been advertised as being developed using real world plans, it just seems the 3D model might need a bit of tweaking that's all.

Well 25 GBP... same as 41 US.

And of course we get 5 percent discount points to carry forward...... A2A are 40 GBP and PMDG are 120.

Let's keep things in perspective. Compromises need to be made and they haven't got a huge team working on different areas independently.

It isn't study level at the end of the day.

After all: One man's High School diploma is another man's PhD..... !?

For 25 GBP they haven't done badly at all. Still beats the default stuff.
