Does anyone have this plane yet? I was wondering if it is any good.

Hi Matt,

It is outstanding but you've got to have a pretty powerful computer to really enjoy it. It took about two weeks to figure out how to get usable frame rates with my Athlon 2000XP and Ti4200 card. If you're running less than these system specs I wouldn't recommend it. If you're at that level or higher you are in for a real treat. Ultra realistic panel modeling just about every system and an FMS good enough to train on, I've seen the Honeywell flowchart for the Primus 1000 FMS and this simulation is as close as you're gonna find. Exterior visuals are exceptional, crisp, clear, looks good from a distance and looks even better up close. If it sounds like I'm happy with it I am :). Make sure you go to their forum and read about setting it up cause the instructions could be more detailed.

Great plane - one of the best to come out in the last year IMO...

Say, sounds good but i read that there are some issues with WinXP SP2 and the like. Does anyone have SP2 and if so can it be loaed and flown with no problems?

thanks

I run SP2 and have the CD version of the ERJ and everything runs fine... Nice piece of software!

No you don't, you just need to know how to go into the plane's configuration manager and adjust the refresh rate for the various gauges... :)

Hi Les,

I wouldn't recommend this program for less than a 2gig processor.

Awesome guys!! Thanks for the info. I've got a P4 3GHz with 1GB RAM so I should be fine. I was originally thinking of going with the CRJ 2004 but this plane looks like it's much better.
