Adam Air Boeing 777

nice aircraft should be made and not recognized? Right? Well I
haven't seen a review on this particular aircraft done yet so I thought I
should do one. The aircraft as you already know is a Boeing 777-200 of
Adam Air VA. Before I start this review I would like to mention one
thing: I think Jack Evans did a wonderful job on the paint. I would also
like to give credit to whoever made this aircraft but I couldn't find a
name. And this review will be divided into several parts: performance,
visual appearance and conclusion and one of the smaller parts will be
panel.
Performance
I've downloaded several aircraft and tried all the default FS98
aircraft (yes I have FS98) and none but maybe the Learjet can surpass the
performance of this aircraft. This aircraft is practically a dream to fly.
It's a very responsive craft either with a joystick or keyboard. I think
whoever downloads this aircraft will be pleased. Like I said I have
downloaded several aircraft and this is one if not the nicest aircraft of
them all.
Visual Appearance
When it comes to visual appearance this aircraft does not come close to
any of my other aircraft, it passes them. Round tires, 32 sided fuselage,
and round turbines. The overall aircraft is beautiful. Green and white,
black windscreen--beautiful, just plain beautiful. When I first saw this
aircraft my lower jaw practically fell to the ground. One of the nicest
I've seen in FS98. It's rather small compressed but when unzipped it's
3-4 mb. When you look back from the cockpit at the wing left or right you
can see the initials "AA" (Adam Air). The tail piece is also nicely done. I
haven't checked to see if it lights up at night yet though. OK, now for the
gear: it's very nicely done, it doesn't pop in and out like some do and it
slowly retracts in and out very realistic.
Panel
There is a panel that comes with the plane but I don't recommend it. I
chose a
panel by Raul Luis Terraz. It's a very nice panel. It was made for any
two engine aircraft. You can shut down and start up the engines with it
and it has the no smoking and seat belts switch sign as well. They are up
on the center top overhead console; sorry if that's confusing.
Conclusion
Overall I would rate this aircraft a 98 out of 100. This aircraft would
easily make 100 points if she had a clear windscreen and a better panel. But
before I end this review I would like to thank Todd Barker for helping me
chose the right sim for my system and helping me learn to navigate, and
teaching me how to get off the ground.
Happy Flying!
