TG Sims Bristol 188

[Lawman]

TG Sims has released the Bristol 188 if anyone is interested. Available on Simmarket. There's a 2020-version (with 2024 compatibility) and a native 2024-version. Never heard of this developer before. From the screenshots it reminds me a bit of the "old" Virtavia, meaning the cockpit looks a bit FSX-like IMHO.

Edit: since someone will be nagging about links, here's the Simmarket-link for the 2020-version: https://secure.simmarket.com/tg-sims-bristol-188-for-msfs.phtml

With an asking price of less than $10, I wouldn't expect it to be anything more, but being a niche plane, I'll stick it anyway.

It definitely deserves to be stuck. The price is wonderful and is enough to get me to buy it despite having the original freeware version, to get the improvements. I don't think people would have complained at $15-18, so at $9.99 it's a no-brainer if you love this crazy experimental era of aviation.

It's not Blackbird SR-71 level detailed or anything, but even the original freeware release was challenging to fly and felt like it was hitting the performance and handling described in articles about the Bristol.

Here's the original thread for the freeware version:
