Stumbled across this on marketplace tonight. Haven't had too much of a play with it yet but it's a real gem with lots of nice features. There's a kneeboard in the cockpit which allows you to choose between metric or imperial cockpits, open and close the cowlings and baggage door, or toggle wheel spats on/off. Performance is pretty believable, handling is fair, and the sounds are good, although aren't affected by having the canopy open or closed. They're quite similar to the sounds from the old FSX/P3D Zlins. It seems well modelled and there are 11 paint schemes to choose from.

Systems modelling is on the more basic scale, some of the systems switches don't work - the starter works whether the breaker is on or off and the blower isn't modelled. It's also very very twitchy in yaw, particularly on the ground but this isn't the end of the world. Overall I think this is a really nicely done example of an unusual subject. I'm really looking forward to spending some more hours in this, I think it'll probably be a favourite. Screenshot (13).png

The Zlin Z-142 was previously released as a 2020 plane. If you purchased before, the upgrade to native 2024 is free. Also, one of
the liveries now has dynamic registration, which I don't think was included in the original 2020 release. And yes, you can see your
2024 co-pilot, if selected, in the cockpit.
 
Ooooh, I'm glad to hear you like it! I was tempted when I saw it, and the price is definitely low. Will probably grab it once my MS Rewards $10 comes in on 7/1.
