Avsim are promoting the rubbish FCS Sunderland again and still for a absurd $19US !,...un-freakin believeable...I cant fathom why this is still being put up for sale . I couldnt help but have my say in the comments section..probably get bollucked...not that I care it is rubbish.

I have it on my SHELF as a trophy ... happens to be the JOKE ...

While the aircraft is nothing spectacular, it did and still does sell quite well. Not every simmers wants all the detail of a PMDG or Carenado aircraft it would seem...

Not only is it not spectacular ,it is very probably the worst payware model ever produced, My old man used to fly Sunderlands all over the South Pacific and when he saw screenshots of it the first thing he said is "I hope thats not supposed to be a Sunderland,..bloody hell that is awful",..the fuselage has deep jagged ruts along it and is completely the wrong shape , and amongst other things as far as I am aware she was not built out of large stones of concrete which those rubbish textures would suggest.......awful and a joke that it is being sold for about $25NZ..it isnt even good freeware ,in fact Jens B. Kristensen's freeware Solents and Sunderland a far far better..regardless of whether people are shelling out their hard earned cash for FCS's joke of model. Supply in demand dictated that..doesnt mean that it isnt complete and utter rubbish...which it is. My NH-90 and other stuff are not that great either but at least I'm not charging the public for it...not in good conscience I couldnt.

Dean .. I was in so discuss with this model , visitors come here look up at my shelf .... look at me - point the finger and give me the 'Nelson Mutz' laugh HA HA !

I leave it up in front off me as a shear warning

I have never seen anything from Abacus worth owning, there is heaps of freeware stuff of much better quality out there

The model is FIRST CLASS SIMULATIONS , Abacus happens to be of very high quality compared to this one Trust me !

"obviously put together by a potato not a human being with eyesight."

I wonder if they ever saw Jen's freeware Hythe - with your paint-job of course!!!!

I never heard back from Jens re doing a Sunderland.
