Great aircraft
This Hellcat for FSX is a great addition. The aircraft is easy to fly and is nicely detailed. It has a good virtual cockpit. Outer detail is nice as well, with the glossy versions realy shining in the sun. The sound is great also, especially in the cockpit. I only have one comment to make, and that is the sound with the external view on. Too few levels of RPM's were recorded here, meaning you can hear the different steps when you throttle up. I'd rather have a more smooth transisiton from low-RPM's to higher ones. This though is my only gripe. When flying the aircraft with internal view on the sound is great. Also very nice it the number of colour schemes included. That makes this a well-rounded product. Great!

Help to get this kite in the air !
hadn't realized when purchasing this product that, it was an "Expansion" and incapable of being played unless one had a previous software disc. I'm still very "green " on this subject and am uncertain as to what it is I need. Am I correct in thinking that any gamemarked with "Simulator X" will enable me then to play the "Expansion" disc. Comments very welcome [email protected]
