Watched the streams from IniBuilds and AvAngel on YouTube and grabbed it, along with MK Studios' KSEA.

It's not the unmitigated disaster you'd think most planes discussed on the official forums are, but there are definitely some valid-sounding issues with the instrumentation. I only had time for a couple of quick VFR jaunts. Only thing I noticed is that that the roll did feel a bit sluggish, but it's got a big, thick wing, so not sure how realistic that is or isn't. If you read the original 1939 pilot report, it indicates that the plane was heavy on the controls, and ini did consult a real owner on the flight model, so not sure I'd let one guy on a flight sim forum's response damn the flight model.

The audio is fantastic. Nobody mentioned that. It looks and sounds great, hopefully ini will get the system quirks worked out.

Thanks for the review Denny. I'm on the fence at the moment. I feel like the textures aren't as good as their airliners which seem extremely good. What we need is John to make some gorgeous new 1:1 liveries!

I've always loved the sleek, 1930s-futuristic design. I may pick this up after a patch or two.
