The latest issue of PC Pilot magazine (#153 - Sept/Oct 2024) is hot off the presses and, as always, chock full of excellent articles and reviews. Head over to the PC Pilot website to get yourself a copy if you're not a subscriber!

Needless to say, we went straight to the reviews of our recently released PA-38 Tomahawk for MSFS and Black Square's Piston Duke and Turbine Duke , both for Microsoft Flight Simulator also, and were chuffed to see that the reviewers were impressed with these new machines.

The PA-38 Tomahawk was awarded a score of 95/100, with the reviewer concluding, "If you want to try one of the most realistic GA training aircraft currently on sale, this is the one!... In my opinion the Just Flight team have done a superb job. It looks, sounds and feels very authentic."

Black Square's Piston Duke and Turbine Duke scored a lofty 96/100 and the magazine's Platinum Award, with the review stating, "Black Square have done another extraordinary job with this pair... Another stunning pair of aircraft that combine education, challenges and sheer pleasure."

A big thank you to the PC Pilot crew for taking a look at these aircraft!
