    It looks great and the cockpit has great detail but it’s flight characteristics take all the realism out of it. It accelerates to 250mph in less than 5 seconds and is far too manoeuvrable. If these things were changed it would be almost perfect. Nonetheless, you still did a good job and it does look very good.
