Area 51 C-17 released!

I am going to watch this thread CLOSELY...I am in the market for a C-17, but I am very curious to see what people's opinions/thoughts are on this Area 51 offering. Clearly, it is reasonably priced at $29.95. The competing Virtavia model is $55!!! So, lets see where this goes...and then I may part with some cash:salute:

Sorry...couldn't help myself :icon_lol:

...the counting I am interested in (lol) revolves around the $25 difference in price between this rendition and the virtavia offering. But, I can read bunches about the Virtavia bird...I want to know how people like (or don't) this Area 51 plane..
 
I don't mean to be critical 'cause I'm sure it's a fine plane, but who in the world tries to sell an FS add-on with zero screenshots? This might be the first FS dev site I've ever visited that doesn't have a gallery of shots for each offering. Also, they need to update the title of the page. The C-17 page as-is says "OH-58D Kiowa". Sometimes "save as" isn't your friend. :icon_lol:
 
I have yet to buy any of the C-17 offerings yet until i see both. I may very well end up buying both just for kicks n giggles. Again, time is our friend.... I hope at least.
 
You've been reading my mind Bill.

I went to the area51 website after reading the first post and couldn't find any screenshots or much other info (plus I also noticed the title of the page was 0h-58D Kiowa).

So I came back to read the rest of this thread to see if anyone had posted some screenies.

Please Area51, if you want people to buy your stuff let them know what it is they are buying first.
 
LOL what a crappy webpage. They hotlink half of the world but nothing works. If that's a sign of their eye for detail then my eye will detail the hell out of my wallet and keep it safe and warm! :icon_lol:
 
Unless there has been a huge lmprovement in their models, I would say the old maxim about 'you get what you pay for' probably holds a lot of water with this model. Would anybody buy any product 'sight unseen'?
