So I have to ask, how does the virtual Gripper compare
Well, I've never been fortunate enough to even see a Trident in the flesh, but I have used Flight Simulator for many years and I have to say that David Maltby's Trident is the best aircraft I have ever used in Flight Sim, including payware aircraft costing in excess of £40.00. The level of detail and functionality is simply breathtaking, and as Mr McCleland mentioned (I believe he assisted in its development, hope I'm not wrong about that) the autoland with kick off drift is amazing, even with 20 kt crosswinds and dense fog.

As an aside, his BAC 1-11 and VC10 aircraft are equally as amazing. The man deserves the PC equivalent of an Oscar!!!
