Orbx and Asobo Studio have come together to offer us a new local legend: the DHC-4 Caribou. I was really excited to try out this aircraft, I couldn’t resist its Canadian roots after all, but unfortunately it didn’t quite meet my expectations in some ways. Let’s get into it! A bit of history Following the…

DCS: Hornet in 2023 full review
In the years since Eagle Dynamics released the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, I’ve never actually written a full review of the aircraft and I thought it was long past due that I close that gap. Now that they have put most (though not quite all) of the finishing touches on the jet I figure early 2023…
Impressions of the latest Mirage F1 update and the EE!
Aerges and Eagle Dynamics have released the latest version of DCS World together with a new variant of the Mirage F1. Aerges set out an impressive and ambitious goal to bring us four versions of the infamous French fighter and we now have two. The “basic” Mirage F1CE and now we have the slightly more…
Carenado/Asobo Cessna 195 Local Legend VII review
Coming to us back in the fall as Local Legend VII, the Carenado/Asobo Cessna 195 Businessliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator came alongside the World Update XI: Canada update. The aircraft has no specific Canadian connection (though the free DHC-2 Beaver that came with the 40th Anniversary sure did) so its not quite the local legend…

IL-2’s C-47 Skytrain full aircraft review
Most aircraft added to the IL-2 Great Battles Series are fighters, attackers or bombers – combat aircraft. On occasion, however, we’ve had a few more unique entrants to the mix. Still military aircraft but not aircraft that participate directly in combat themselves. Military transports were essential parts of the war effort and many of them…
A look around Flying Circus’ Western Front 1918 map
Released in late November with Update 5.003 for the IL-2 Great Battles Series, the Western Front 1918 map is one more step towards recreating the original content of Rise of Flight in the upgraded Great Battles simulation engine. I thought it’d be fun to have a look at the map and see what it offers!…
Aerosoft’s DHC-6 Twin Otter for MSFS full review
Arriving on the scene earlier this year, Aerosoft’s Twin Otter was highly anticipated addition to the huge list of aircraft now available for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Issues with the airplane soon after its released kept me away but it has now gone through six significant version updates. Have all of these updates been enough to…

It’s been a while since I wrote about Tank Crew but here I am doing a review of the most recent Collector Vehicle release. The Churchill Mark IV is the first British tank to join the series, a couple of unique features, and it leaves me with a bit of a question. Read on to…
