Hello!

I am thinking about purchasing the Flight1 BN-2 Islander for FSX, and I'm hoping to hear some opinions on it from the community here.
Figured with the fact that it comes with multiple New Zealand liveries, someone here has to already own it! Plus, I know they're not uncommon in the country. winkyy.gif

Thanks,

-Sean

She's an absolutely stunning model. One of my favourite FSX aircraft. You won't regret buying this aircraft thumbup1.gif

I owned it for a while, but ended up getting a Flight1 refund (lost about $5 in the credit card fee/exchange rate go around) - and technically it was very good although I found the dials quite difficult to read with the VC set to a zoom level I was happy with and I found learning a whole new GPS with a primitive (true to the real world!) interface just frustrating - I can drive an FMS or a Garmin just fine. The autopilot was also a bit strange (again aparently true to life) it that you can't do altititude and heading at the same time!?!

I suspect everything I didn't like was due to how true to a BN-2 was! So if you like BN-2's you'll be fine :-)
