Iris Newbie's

Discuss aircraft addons and repaints for Flight Simulator here

The latest Iris sale has promted me to look at the few iris products I don't own. I was hoping for a few what's hot and what's not from any owners of the F-22, C-27 and Silence Twister. Just a general overview, before I jump in and throw away my holiday-work money for, as my mother says, "Pretend Aeroplanes." laugh.gif

They make some great stuff even at the stock price, and on sale they're a bargain
I've got the A10 warthog and the Vulcan both of which are excellent, and I bought the PC9 before it was a freebie and rate it highly, real fun to fly

I've heard of many reviews leaning towards the negative with the C-27 Spartan, and allegedly some stuff has been iffy with the F-22's flight dynamics.

On a personal note, the only aircraft I have from them is the A-10 Warthog, and it is absolutely excellent! It looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, is easy on framerates, and has enough systems simulated to keep you busy, but not so much that it becomes a chore!
If you don't have the A-10, get that first!

I've got the A-10, Vulcan, F-16D, Diamond Twin-Star, Christen Eagle, and all their latest freeware offerings. I love the A-10 and Vulcan wub.gif both are great.

Hmm... thank you for the reviews. I saw the A10 at that price, and have been umming and arrrrring lol
Think I will have to get it myself. Does it have an autopilot fitted? I know it's for diving at the ground frequently, but I would like to fly from A to B in comfort from time to time..
Edit: A10 30% downloaded. Can't go wrong at that price smile.gif

The C-27 is ok, but very very system orientated... the vulcan is easier to start and fly than the C-27 from cold n dark
