Anyway, I am using OnTop



Hi Cecil,

What planes does OnTop have, and if you don't mind where
did you buy it and ~cost?

Any comments on the realism of the flight model and what
you feel it does for you vs. "game" sims such as MSFS?

Thanks!

I bought it on Ebay and paid $70 bucks for it. It isn't the 'latest'
version it is 7.0 NOT 8.0.

Can't really comment of MSFS comparison, because I don't think that I've
used it enough to give it a fair analysis. Rumour is that MSFS 2004 pro
version will have IFR training features... don't know if this is true,,,,,
just what I've heard.

The choice of the planes is limited, but certainly useful:

My version has; Cessna 172P Skyhawk, C-182R Skylane, C-182R Skylane RG,
Piper PA-28-16/Warrior II, Piper PA-28R-201 Arrow IV, Lancair Columbia 300,
Mooney MSE, Beech Bonanza V35B, Beech Baron 58, Beech 1900.

Hope this helps!
