This aircraft is a great new addition to FS2004. Although a little pricey, it comes with 81 liveries.

The 2d panel is excellent, as is the VC.

The exterior model is not up to PMDG quality, but who spends more than 10 minutes looking at the exterior during any flight? Having said that, it's not bad at all. But could be improved.

The Level-D 767 has an excellent model and excellent sounds. It also has very good effects. The only drawbacks are the 2D panel and the first officer who does things when you don't want him to. The 2D panel is also based on the PIC 767 panel which was developed in the year 2000. You can clearly see that the 2D panel textures looks rather dated compared to the likes of the PMDG 737/747 and PSS 757.

After using this product for almost 2 years, I have decided that it isn't as good as what I first thought.

Some may see the fact that it's wireless as a good thing, sure, it eliminates desk clutter and doesn't leave you with the problem of not having enough cable. However, the batteries do not seem to last long. (Even Duracell ones) and it often turns itself off after a period of inactivity. (Roughly 10 mins) It doesn't always want to switch back on either. As a result, I have crashed many times whilst flying helicopters on Battlefield 2 (thus killing other players on my team) and have had problems on FS2004 after autopilot has been disengaged. One time, I got told off by a VATSIM controller because I was not co-operating with his instructions, due to me having to try and get my joystick working again!

I therefore no longer recommend this product. I'd suggest getting a Saitek X-45 or X-52.

Great model. I personally think the model is better than the payware PSS A32X models. Only downside is the lack of a panel.

Not comparable to PMDG. However, I don't have any complaints apart from no VC.

Very nice. Only problem is that the ground is not stable in some parts, the aircraft can fall through it. However, those areas are areas where planes should not be. But still...

It is good, however I prefer their Citation X. In my opinion the Citation X is better looking and performs better than the Citation II

This is very good. I just bought it and so far I have not had any problems. It is very detailed and is fun to fly. Runs fine using an ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb

It is VERY good, very detailed and is of very high quality. You need a good computer in order to enjoy it at its potential.

My:
Intel P4 3.2Ghz
1.5GB DDRAM
ATI Radeon 9600XT
Maxtor 160GB SATA drive
Struggles to run it with settings set to ultra high.

When using this Aircraft, FS9 was utilizing 600mb of RAM.
So basically, you NEED a good computer to get the best out of it. However I must say, PMDG is as good as it gets!

I have not tried this, mainly because it doesn't look like an A320.
If you look, the nose does not look anything like an A320. In my opinion the free iFDG A320 is MUCH better for looks.

Here is a real A320:

And as you can see, the nose isn't so stretched compared to this FS model.
