The Aerosoft Beaver? FSX?

Er. Yeah. Have a link. :) http://www.screenshotartist.co.uk/Aerosoft_beaverx_review.htm

Unfortunately the background appears to have vanished (I'll set Nick on that) so sorry if it's a little hard to read against the white.

As for the FSX versus Beaver X? This review summed it up well...

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"So now, we come to a big obvious question: why pay money for an Aerosoft BeaverX when Microsoft has modeled a Beaver as one of their default planes? .... [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I consider the FSX Beaver to be one of the more appealing aircraft in the new simulator. The Kenmore Air Beaver represents the first time a real-world airline has been represented by Microsoft in their Flight Simulator product, and I even like the "San Juan Island Run" Mission in FSX, where I can play at being a pilot for Kenmore. The FSX Beaver is fun to fly, supports a detailed model, and seems to be reasonably accurate as far as flight dynamics are concerned, given the restrictions of the FSX algorithms. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The FSX development team spent over 100 hours at Kenmore Air working on getting the FSX Beaver as good as it could be. The attention to detail shows in the high quality of their aircraft.... [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Aerosoft BeaverX has a more detailed visual model than the FSX Beaver, which shows even at a glance. As accomplished as the FSX model is, the BeaverX takes the visual model a large step above and beyond that. There are quite a few more functional and visual details in the cockpit, as well as in the exterior models. As well, there are many more models of the DHC-2 Beaver to choose from in the Aerosoft package, so that you can find an aircraft to suit your flying style the best, including the adventuresome firefighter and cropduster variants.

Easy - it's not that expensive and it's worth every cent.

I've been happy "flying" the default Beaver until I read this thread. So I went to Aerosoft and checked out the DHC2. I am very happy with the Catalina and the Twotter so thought it was worth looking at it.
Yes, it is not very expensive, especially considering what is in the package. Worth every penny. Looks and flys great. If you like to use a 2D panel, the default 2D panel works great in this Beaver. I still use the default too.
