First look at the Blackbox Shorts 330 in Microsoft Flight Simulator

Today we take a first look at the Shorts 330 in Microsoft Flight Simulator - starting it up and taking it for a flight from Wycombe Air Park to Elstree. While not photorealistic, it's modelled well, the systems are wonderful, and it's going to provide endless learning opportunities for weeks and months to come.
