I am now in the absolutely horrible position of having to recommend yet another bloody Four Seasons. This is digital, and you can actually just listen to it as though it were a real record. It sounds, in fact, not entirely unlike an analog master tape! There is real texture here. When you boost the volume, or listen critically to the sound of specific instruments, it doesn't just fall apart like CD sound so often does. It's so good that you won't want to do any of those silly audiophile-type things. You'll just want to enjoy the music.

DHC6 Twin Otter De Havilland Canada production still remains one of the most successful commercial aircraft short takeoff and landing. This is a very qualitative model (Aerosoft keeps the brand) with lots of texture in several variations (with float, with skis). Fully animated and drawn 3d cockpit and cabin. In my opinion, this is one of the best commercial aircraft in its class for the simulator. It do not have anything extra, and every detail and every instrument as detailed. This is the perfect device for planting in difficult airfields or in their absence.
