Review new FS9 Lockheed L-188 Electra II

Link: flightsim.com

As promised here is a review of the just plain awsome package with an aircraft by J.R. Lucariny, sound package by W.C. Schultz and Victor Merculief and an amazing panel by Fraser McKay.

The main attraction of the package is the sound set and panel though. The sound set you just have to try out yourself but the panel I will give you a couple of examples of.

The one nice thing I like about the panel is the sub-panel-selection which is text on the glareshield that you press to open the sub-panels with. There are a bunch of panels, the deicing panel, engine start panel, electrical panel, pressurising controls, power levers, fuel panel, radio panel, autopilot panel, checklist, gps, atc, map and feather panel.
One suggestion though is to read the documentation because this panel is way more than your standard flightsim panel and if you want the aircraft to work you had better follow the checklist.

I have modified it a bit and added my favorite, the ISG gauges as it gives me a FMC, in the original package there was a nice radar gauge in the same spot.

I especially like a couple of things with the package, the interactive checklist, the vital data card, the complexity, the fact that you have to set up the panel correct in order for the aircraft to be able to work. It just feels pretty real.
