A polygon optimized model has allowed for an amazingly detailed model that looks fantastic, with smooth edges and subtleties abound, without damaging your frame rates. Featuring external dynamic shadows and intelligent mapping, the exterior of the model comes to life in the simulated environment; lights react to the metals realistically and the shadows help the model achieve a true 3D feel. A total of five bright and clean liveries give you some esthetic options, all of which compliment the Commanders shape, and the work that's gone into the model. High quality digital stereo sounds have been recorded from the real aircraft to add authenticity and depth to your experience.
A vast array of moving parts and animations round out the aircrafts character and help it become a part of the world around it. Little touches that are gradually becoming the norm for Carenado, such as animated sun visors, help form a more entertaining cockpit environment, making it very easy to immerse yourself into the experience and have a ton of fun. Inside the interactive virtual cockpit, you'll find a Garmin 29 GPS and a Century III autopilot. As well as separate switches for instrument lights and cabin lights, so you don't have to be completely illuminated if you don't want to be. And a customizable panel allows you to control certain static elements, such as pilot covers and wheel chocks, as well as window transparency so that you can tailor your visual experience more to your liking.
With everything else so well executed, you can be sure that the same can be said of the flight dynamics; Carenado's Commander behaves like the real thing, and accurately represents its weight and balance. If you're looking for something that's really going to impress, then this fully loaded package is well worth consideration, as Carenado's Commander is visually stunning and great fun to fly.

This is one of the best small aircraft that I have purchased and flown. The detail is incredible and the sound is great. This plane is great to fly, very easy to handle and very smooth. Some of the small aircraft that I fly are jumpy and not so smooth, but this one is silk in the air.
