Awesome! A few things I noticed:
- The aircraft are difficult to taxi; the nosewheel feels extremely wobbly, reacts very slowly, and seems to have a tendency to easily lose traction at steep steering angles, even on a dry taxiway. I couldn't manage to make any sharp turns without the aid of differential braking, and even then I overshot a lot. Keeping the aircraft aligned on the runway during takeoff is also quite difficult because of this, and when I tried a crosswind landing, I couldn't manage at all.
- In the Q100, the speed gauge has a red-and-white bar, but it's at, what, 40 kt? I was under the impression that these are supposed to indicate Vne, not stall speed. The speed gauge also doesn't have any arcs, not sure if the real aircraft has any, but I would assume that it would have at least indicators for stall speed with and without flaps.
- Q100 liveries seem to be missing.
- Pressing "APP" on the Q100 autopilot does arm APP mode, but I couldn't see any visual feedback - no lights, no change on the PFD.
- The HSI seems a bit spartan; shouldn't there be at least CDI needles there? Navigating by VORs is kind of tricky like this.
