Legacy Review at Aerosoft Sim News

Monday 27 August 2012

Our Lancair Legacy has received another overwhelmingly positive review at Aerosoft Sim News. Reviewer Steven Bannwolf concluded his article with the following:

"In conclusion, the RealAir Lancair Legacy is an absolute gem of an aircraft. You’d be hard pressed to find even the tiniest detail to complain about. From the sound to the cockpit to the flight dynamics, everything is made magnificently. RealAir obviously put a lot of time into this product, and it shows. In my book, this plane is well worth the price, even if you’re not a GA enthusiast. After a few hours with the RealAir Lancair Legacy, you will be.

Legacy Receives Ten Out of Ten at Mutley's Hangar

Friday 24 August 2012

Our Lancair Legacy is the subject of a wonderfully written review by Andrew Godden published by Mutley's Hangar. The review includes detailed information on the Legacy graphics, flight modelling, sounds and performance, and includes dozens of fine quality screenshots. Andrew concluded his review by scoring the Legacy ten out of ten in every tested category, and awarding the Legacy the coveted "Mutley's Hangar Award For Excellence". To quote the conclusion to Andrew's review:

"If not 'the most' complete and comprehensive package in the general aviation aircraft category for FSX available today, it is definitely one of the most.

• External Model – 10 / 10
• Internal Model – 10 / 10
• Sounds – 10 / 10
• Flight Characteristics (does it fly by the numbers) – 10 / 10
• Flight Dynamics (does it feel like what it looks like) – 10 / 10
• Documentation – 10 / 10
• Value for Money – 10 / 10"

Lancair Receives Avsim Gold Star Award

Thursday 05 July 2012

Our Lancair Legacy for FSX has received the top honour available at avsim.com - the Avsim Gold Star Award.

The Avsim Gold Star was awarded as part of a very comprehensive review by Avsim staff reviewer Ray Marshall, with additional input from Avsim staff reviewer Bert Pieke.

Ray concluded his review by saying: "The RealAir Lancair Legacy for FSX is no doubt the most advanced, most realistic, and most fun to fly of any general aviation add-on available today. The awesome combination of many totally new visual effects and animations with their accompanying sounds are absolutely astonishing. I therefore recommend the coveted Avsim Gold Star be awarded to RealAir Simulations. I really wish there was a recognition that was even a little higher than our Gold Star, maybe a Platinum Star or a Sierra Hotel Gold Star. I would surely recommend that one also. The Legacy is that good."

Turbine Duke Gets Gold Star Award From Avsim

Tuesday 05 July 2011

Our Turbine Duke for FSX has been reviewed at Avsim.com and has received their top honour - an Avsim Gold Star Award.

Senior Avsim staff reviewers Bert Pieke (a sim aviator) and Zane Gard (a real world pilot and simmer) put our simulated Turbine Duke (and a real one) through its paces.

Bert writes - "If you would like to fly the most exciting GA Twin released for FSX, and you admire a meticulously crafted aircraft, this RealAir package is for you. And if you already own the earlier (piston) version of the Duke, the upgrade is worth the money."

"Since you’ll be spending a lot of time here, the 'feel' of the cockpit is essential to the suspension of disbelief that makes for a fabulous FSX aircraft. As you’ll see throughout the review, RealAir has done a great job with the outside model and most certainly with the flying characteristics of this airplane. But where this airplane is a clear step above its competitors, is in the cockpit."

Zane, who has been lucky enough to fly the real Turbine Duke (N157JT, included in our FSX package) states: "The 3D modeling of both the interior and exterior are so smooth and nicely done, the panel is a work of art and offers many variations from default GPS to dual RealityXP Garmin installations. Engine modeling is an area that RealAir did go far and above most developers."

"I give the RealAir Turbine Duke my highest recommendations as one of the most enjoyable simming aircraft ever released for FSX. Nice job, RealAir."
