Very complex system, I can't set autopilot and GPS yet! but the airplane and FDE is awesome... and that carrier!!! I was years dreaming to have her in FSX

Have it, love it!!
Though it's not exactly the same aircraft as the Su-33 Naval Flanker, and some of the details are still guesswork, it looks great (Especially with Hani's Russian Navy paints!) and flies good too.
It really feels like a big heavy fighter, until you turn of the FCS limiter; then you can fly it like they do at airshows, including Cobra's and the ability to maneuvre while in a stall.
Lots of systems modelled, haven't found a single button that doesn't function in the VC. The manual is somewhat harder to read than the average manual though, but quite comprehensive.
For me it was a must buy, but I have all of Bear's aircraft for FsX.
And the good thing about the Chinese is that they did make a two-seater, unlike the Russians so you get that too.

Truly an amazing model. I will say that Bear Studios really has their stuff together when it comes to both the J-11 and J-15 Flankers. The model is a real thrill to fly with the FD restrictions switched off, the cockpits are absolutely stunning, and they are absolutely gorgeous in the spot view. I fly them both in FSX and FS9... and some of the characteristics that are FSX only (like back lit panel gauges) work in FS9. Bill really did an excellent job on these, I highly recommend them
