Has anyone got this? i really like these aircraft, and the blurb on the Abacus site reads well....but..... im not sure about the visuals...seems a little... blocky, or could that be from the machine they used to screen it?

Hate to reply to my own posts....but Ive had a good look at it....and as much as i hate to be negative about anything.....I'll give it a miss.
Amazing what some people expect, other people to buy.....when there is so much competition and, freeware about.

its pretty jaggy,..its not an overly complex model so dont know why the designer decided to use so few polygons ,..and yep ive never bought anything from abacus either ,im sure there are the odd exception but in general nothing worth mentioning has come from them..

whats even stranger is that the modeller Massimo Taccoli has made some great freeware stuff but this tracker is really below par ?...

It may be a little blocky , but i do have to say its far better than the $50NZ piece off rubbish from 'First Class Simulations 'Sunderland' .
