I've been playing this game since the closed beta back in 2013. There are two very consistent things: the awesome attention to detail/physics/etc, and the incredible drive from Gaijin to always make the grind longer and harder. It feels like for a decade now every few months there's some other new update that makes the game harder to play, or there's some absurd grinding event that can take 6-8 hours a day of gameplay to get an item from. I am honestly shocked it took this long for players to fight back. I hope Gaijin can finally make the game more enjoyable than it is frustrating like it once was, but till then my review will remain negative.

Edit: Gaijin is slowly making the game better. The grind is slightly more tolerable, but their plan to fix the game is over the course of several months. I'll change my review to a positive review if/when their plan finally makes a palpable difference but as of now it still feels like a massive waste of time to attempt to advance in this game.

What's not to like? Simply incredible.

I honestly wish that there was a neutral rating that I could give.

The new planes are pretty fun, but the missions leave much to be desired. I honestly bought this very quickly when I saw that it had positive reviews....before realizing that it only had ONE review.

The new planes are everything you could ask for in these older planes...seem like they perform realistically, though I get an overspeed warning pretty frequently.

The missions, though, are pretty subpar. I'm happy that we actually have real missions rather than flight plans, but if you play with realistic settings and collision on then you won't be able to complete at least two of the missions. The Wright Brothers mission is either very difficult or impossible, due to the trees around Wright Field (which probably weren't there when the brothers actually did fly their model B). That one could possibly be just me. However, the mission to fly over the English Channel (referred to just as 'The Channel' by this mod) is completely broken. If you have collision on, it's impossible to start the mission because as soon as the plane starts taxiing, it will collide with the building that it is parked next to. Turning collision off fixes the issue, but it is still an annoying issue.

Even if those collision issues are completely due to my skill/computer/whatever, this pack still leaves something to be desired for 17 dollars. Hopefully the next few packs will have more content and more in depth missions.
