Fouga is out
- Thread starter dvj
- Start date
I just closed MSFS, but here is a review that shows the pit. It's very good, but at times a bit dark. Many, many functional click spots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUhGIBZWufIHow is the cockpit? Care to share a screenshot?

Have you guys tried the freeware Fouga by Restauravia? It's really nice, and wondering if the Azurepoly version is different enough to justify a purchase if you're not a hardcore Fouga fan?

The Azurepoly version is nicer in a number of ways. The only thing I am wondering about is if this new version is a bit overpowered? It is certainly faster & accelerates quicker than the freeware version. Otherwise, it's super nice.
If you are on a strict budget for this stuff, I'd certantly recommend the freeware from restrauravia. I do really like what Azurepoly has done with this one.

Kent, I just got done looking, I did not find a paint kit in the files that were automatically downloaded from MSMP, I also checked the Dev's site, didn't see anything there either. I guess it is possible they will be releasing it later. It's a sharp model, glad to have it. Yeah, they should be adding it to Simmarket pretty soon.

can anyone elaborate on the advantages of this one over the Restauravia freeware, which I happen to like a lot?
And indeed, the marketplace is also not my favourite shop..

I have both but have only had one brief spin in this aircraft. Modelling is very good, in line with what you'd expect from MSFS-native payware and several notches above Restauravia, however I think the Restauravia flight model seems to be more convincing. This one seems very overpowered for a Magister, take-off and landing speeds seem very high, as does roll rate. Lovely model though!

How would you compare the quality of the sound between the two? This aircraft had a very distinctive engine note particulalry when taxiing.
Purely qualitative on my part, the sound of the AP model is superior overall to the freeware. It has some very nice tones on start up and throttle up. Lots of wind noise with air brake deployment. Landing and using the tail dragger to bleed air actually works. Having never ridden in one, or heard one in person, my opinion does not matter much. I do not know how accurate the flight model is. Noted the trim sims really sensitive. For the price, the payware has wonderful detail throughout and appears to be very bug free at launch. This is like a decison between the freeware Optica and the payware Orbx Optica. Both are nice.

I saw the searched texture with the free model.

This thread is about the payware model which is visually superior, however Restauravia's is good too.
