However, this DLC is much cheaper than most other DLC for this game and missions have good quality in general so I find 7.99 EUR price tag (initial sale price) somewhat justified.I like the mission ideas and design in general, it shows some work was put into them. One of the missions require you to tailscrape a Boeing 747-400, and default cockpit view has a smaller window where your plane is shown from outside so that you could better see what you are doing. Some people might argue it is not realistic but that is still only way to really know what you are doing without feeling G forces yourself.The narration is OK, but could be better. The narrator explains what you need to do, the explanations could use a bit more detail, but I liked narration of original missions more since it was designed as your copilot would tell this information to you. I like copilot style of narration more since it does not brake immersion in game and makes you feel you are not alone in the cockpit. Missions are quite challenging, but that is what I wanted since I already beat all missions I am interested in original game, so I wanted more challange.I would recommend it for people who want more of \u201cTest pilot\u201d missions from original game, because it is basically that. If you did not like these missions there is not much to gain here.. nice add on but i am missing 1 mission. Ski Jump Experiment \u2013 Maule Orion (Ski Configuration) at Bold Airfield, Anchorage, AlaskaNot there. Anyone know a fix?. nicely made missions but almos all of them are broken or buggy. Mission are hard for basic pilots and bad compatibility, but for my money I was happy, I made all the missions ;). Terrible and dull voice over, poor voice directions, location registration form mission waypoint to waypoint and pass conditions inaccurate or simply not well programed.
