Opinions Please: Wilco vs. Eaglesoft Citation X

I have the F1 mustang - its great despite a slight hit on the Framerate if I have the VC set to max textures - but it is well worth the money.

Eaglesoft I just cant get on with.

The last wilco product I bought was the Tiltrotor which is quite good but we are all still waiting for the update that has been promised for weeks, and weeks, and weeks and weeks and.....

Lets hope FDS hurry up with the long promised Jetstar that looks very promising.

Yes, Bill I have seen them.

Here's the Mustang -

I know what the Mustang looks like, I bought it the day it was released (actually just a bit before it was "officially released")... It is a very nice package. :ernae:
 
I'm another that has flown the Eaglesoft model in FS9. (It was recommended to me over the Wilco at that time). You won't regret it - an awesome a/c!

I agree. Eaglesoft looked dated even in FS9! Nice from the outside but really terrible hand drawn VC's that always let them down. V2 doesn't look any better in that regard.

Go for the Mustang.

This looks hand drawn??

I can't rate the Eaglesoft.. I've never "flown" it.. But I have purchased many payware over the years.. they ALL have short-comings.. The Wilco Citation X is one of my favorite payware aircraft..
 
I just purchased the wilco version last month and I can report that the aircraft meets or exceeds all my expectations.:ernae:
 
I did by a Wilco/Feelthere product once that was excellent, BUT, when I needed support it was non existent. My emails bounced back and I couldn't register on their forums, even though I tried 4 different emails. I tried and failed to make contact, I won't go back.
 
I have Eaglesofts Piper Comanche and it is flawless with low impact on FPS on my rig...very smoothly textured inside and out, and their support forum is well tended to by their staff.

I am unfamiliar with the Wilco or Feelthere products so I cant compare them - only wanted to post about my satisfaction with the other developer.

Is it possible to relate an experience or preference without some of the rancor - some of the most negative posts actually have the effect of encouraging me to try the products for myself - just to see if there is an agenda.

LOL
I had the same thoughts myself:wavey:
It seems obvious to me that one mans meat is anothers poison.
I cringe when i see titles like x vs. y
but this thread is somewhat calmish
please keep it that way!

I have the wilco C750. The VC gauges are pretty nice, but the interior textures are gaudy and low-res. The exterior model is basic, but it looks good even up close. I bought it at the sale price, I think it was like 13 bucks or something. I wouldn't pay full price for it.
 
I simply wanted to post my thoughts on them. It's very, very rare for me to post a negative thought about a developer/publisher and perhaps I should explain what happened.

I bought the Feelthere product through Wilco, I had a problem and emailed Wilco. Wilco told me to contact Feelthere. I emailed Feelthere and the email was bounced back. I tried to log onto the Feelthere forums but non of my ISP's emails would be accepted. I posted on a thread the developer seemed to be active in on Avsim but my "very polite" post was ignored. That's it.

The product itself was excellent.

So that's it, a couple of years back now but it was enough of a problem that I made a decision.

I hope you all come to your own decision and enjoy whatever product you purchase.

Peace :engel016:
 
Only bought one Feelthere product, but the SF260 is one of the best add ons ever made.

Why the negative posts towards them?
 
For me I got the Flight Mustang and Eaglesoft Citation X. I'm very impressed with both aircraft in there quality.

??

The SF260 was made by RealAir Simulations.... Not a Wilco/Feelthere product....unless I misunderstood your post
 
Most people are objective about their thoughts regarding a developer and/or their product. Each person bases their opinion on their own personal likes/dislikes, and/or their flight sim needs/expectations.

I don't think people, for the most part, attempt to actually attack a developer. However, there are those who clearly have an agenda. Fortunately, they're the rare bird. ;)

I only responded in this thread because someone stated the Eaglesoft Citation X 2.0's VC looks "hand drawn".
:jawdrop:

FYI, there's a good image of the VC in my blog... reachable via the link in my signature below.
 
I'm biased. I know exactly how much Eaglesofts modeler puts into his work. its beyond top knotch.. I'd buy the eaglesoft citation in a heartbeat and i already have owned wilco's for years. Go with eaglesoft..
 
If I'm thinking right, and I presume I am, I think the model will be a very good rendition in what's to be expected based on the RW amenities. If I had the opportunity to beta, it would be a pleasure ;)

Cheers
