"An Aladdin"s alcove of new aircraft, missions, scenery areas, and experiences, Acceleration immediately stands-out in the crowded world of FS add-ons thanks to its size and eclecticism. Most of the packs produced by publishers such as Just Flight, Aerosoft, and Flight 1 contain one plane type only. This one boasts three high quality machines that couldn"t be more different. For flying incredibly fast you"ve got a remarkably detailed F/A-18 Hornet strike-fighter. For flying incredibly slowly you"ve got a versatile EH101 whirlybird, and for flying incredibly stylishly there"s a gorgeous P-51 Mustang (de-gunned, sadly). Had ACES been generous enough to include an A380 or a 787 then just about every element of their customer base would have been catered for."
"It"s taken them twenty-odd years, but MS have finally realised that not everyone buys realistic non-combat flight simulations to Sunday-drive Cessnas, and autopilot Airbuses. FSX have added a welcome dollop of drama to a staid series, and this official expansion pack continues the good work."
