Although the much touted flying of the Texan T6 is very challenging and rewarding, the product is annoying as hell in several minor irritating respects. To put this in perspective, I have purchased several of the competition's products -- from Carenado -- and when this is stacked up alongside theirs, these guys should not have released this airplane because quite frankly, it isn't ready yet.
First -- there's no damn starter in the super-realistic cockpit. What the hell, people? You have all these other switches and controls, which all work fine, but you don't have a STARTER? How wonderful; I can set the mags to left, right or both, but I cannot start the damned engine unless I use the little pop-up menu and select "Auto Start Sequence".
Second -- The rear canopy doesn't open. You have a little hand icon for the right spot and you hear the sound of it supposedly sliding back, but nothing happens. But oh, listen to that engine roar.
Third -- when you do a replay of something, such as a landing -- very nice to see what you looked like on that bumpy wheel landing -- this product is unable to remember all the configuration of the aircraft. So if you were in straight and level flight when you clicked "Instant Replay", the replay still thinks your wheels are up. So you get this utterly stupid-looking replay of an aircraft with its wheels still up (since that what you were doing when you selected Instant Replay) doing a touch and go.
Fourth -- While switching radio frequencies manually (as you would do in real life), the product doesn't seem to know that you already switched from ground to tower. So it still offers to tune it for you from its menu. The Carenado products by contrast get this right away and if you switch from ground to tower manually, the menu sees this and changes accordingly to "Contact Tower" instead of "Tune Tower at 118.9" or whatever freq it is.
Look. These kinds of stupid, little details are UNACCEPTABLE in a product you're charging money for. The Carenado products all know how to do all these things correctly. But you guys at A2 Sim are so enamored with your flight dynamics and engine sounds, you don't seem to care about the details.
So although the flying is wonderfully challenging and does wonders for stick and rudder skills and taxiing, the minor details are SO damn irritating I considered asking for my money back. And don't tell me I need the latest upgrade -- the product only came out this very month, from what I understand. Why is your product out if it is not ready?

Installed yesterday. Today, after three flights I deleted all other aircraft on my sim... Superb aerodynamics, smooth handling, typical T-6 "Poff"-sound when going to fast into idle and even mist buildup on the windscreen when airvent is closed. Like the real thing !
