Well this is a pleasant surprise, was not expecting it so soon! Is anyone familiar with Black Box Simulations other products? The model looks quite nice but curious to know how it flies, especially for the price (close to $40.00 CAD).

Oh boy! Perhaps a little to quick to market? Oh well. The default aircraft set the bar pretty high in the visuals. Now anxious to see the Long EZ. Dino sets his bar pretty high.

There's already been one patch released today, to fix the switch issues. Looks like the author's going to do a nice job supporting the plane.

I got it and I'm pretty happy with it. Lots of cool warbird paints. I think the interior looks pretty good, other than the non-working mirror:

Patch?

@DennyA - I have version 1.0.0 installed, with all of its flaws. I looked on the BBS website, couldn't find any mention of an update.

Where can I find that patch?

Found it. BBS Simulations sent out emails to all its MSFS Bird Dog customers with a link to the 1.1.0 update. But for many customers, me included, the email got sent to the spam folder.

I would not have found out about this by searching on the BBS Forum or website. but by checking the very active discussion on their Facebook page:

Many of the problems are indeed fixed. But I'd REALLY like to be able to open the doors and windows of my Bird Dog!

1.3.5

Version 1.3.5 appeared in customers' inboxes yesterday 6 October.

AVAngel's Alaska video shows most of the improvements, and I can add that the VHF Nav radio and the VOR gauge are working.

Top of my wish list would be functional windows and doors!

Im affraid it is request for Microsoft Team (Asobo). I didnt notice this in any airplane. Perhaps no this feature yet in MSFS like it was for FSX or P3D.
 
Regarding this sim, in all of the videos the prop disc looks very dark and quite distracting. Is that really the case?
