There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

"If you cant say any thing nice don't say any thing at All"!!!!!!!!!!"
The trouble with that is you can end up with a misleading impression. However, I'm right behind saying things niceLY wherever possible, so here goes.
I care greatly for the DH89 and I’m a little disappointed with this package. Firstly, I see a VC that is quite blurry and low-res, especially the big central turn coordinator and the switches below the voltmeters on the left. It may be some setting on my system, but I do have global texture resolution set very high and texture maximum load is 2048. I've included a picture of the DG pit (G-AKIF) for comparison.
Externally, the model is missing a few parts that are prominent and clearly visible on the real thing - for example, look at the top & bottom of the outer struts - and it also seems a little too blunt and tubby all over, like a Rapide that’s been at the doughnuts. There is a very good variety of textures, all well-researched and nicely drawn, but to my old eyes they look a bit flat and none of them gives me much sense of wood or fabric
This is my second Icarus model and almost certainly won't be my last - they are good people to deal with. This Rapide sounds good and flies nicely, and overall it’s not a bad 13 quid’s worth, but my personal opinion (hopefully politely expressed) is that the freeware Garwood model captures the look, feel and character of this grand old lady rather better.

the activation code it's good also to check who missed the 1.1 (when customer activates the code it shows the version), i have posted the new here for this reason.
SpaceWeevil, there is always possibility to emprove a product when someone comments what he likes and what not in a clearly and understable way as you did it, thanks. Sometimes problems happens also because it depends by the version and images you find...i find at least five different cockpit (our is one of them)version and at least three different exteriors...bytheway i m taking care about all comments.
