Just released...for those of you looking to add to your regional collection.
I wouldn't call it top-of-the-line in quality, but the price seems reasonable for what you get.

If anybody decides to purchase it, let us know how it is!

I got a sweet spot for the little jetstream, so I had to get it. I will report back after testing it a bit.

I had a very enjoyable and memorable flight on an American Connection Jetstream 31 out of St Louis to Paducah a few years ago. Curtain open, with 4 Strike Eagles on taxi right in front of us. Then they all took off, single ship full AB departures as we sat at the hold short. Then the flight itself was fun with the open curtain. I was in the front row, offset aisle seat, so I was able to watch everything the pilots were doing from start to finish during the flight. Was able to see out the windscreen the entire time.

Still considering it here. Ha!

About the ground handling, there is a thread about it on Avsim where they predictably trash it for not being PMDG quality (it generally looks fine to me, not the highest-quality ever VC, but whatever) and there is a note about ground handling in the latest post:

"I asked in VirtualCol and they say that the fact of loosing (sic) control with ground handling is due not turning on hidraulic (sic) pumps properly to make brake works ok. They say that will send an updated manual this week with this information."
