Why is the Fokker 28 one the best addon in 2024?

Dear simmers,
I wanted to share my love for the Fokker 28 and the JF addon;
I am flying on flight simulator since FS9 and FSX. My first mind blow was of course the PMDG, followed by the FSlabs 320 on P3D.
When I was flying FSX, a beautiful 2D cockpit addon was available for the Fokker 70/100 from Digital Aviation. It was a very pro-level simulation, despite the 2D cockpit, every systems where working, very nice sounds, and a shared cockpit feature too. Since this day, I fell in love with Fokker cockpits, and I always wished for a good addon over the years.
After all those hours of flying (more than 6000), I was a bit tired and bored of flight simulations, I left for 2 years.
When I came back to MSFS, the Fokker 28 series from Just Flight was very close to perfection, I gave it a try. I used real life manuals with it, it was nicely responding to it. Still a few minor bugs to clean, but overall it is a very nice and alive addon, JF staff is very pro-active over the forum. Such a beautiful and clean jobs from them, bravo! <3
You can feel the aircraft. Systems are reacting to each others, they are making noises, the addon is full of nice little details. It is a very nice and complete regional vintage jet airliner. You can feel and experiment the beautiful design from Fokker.
In addition of all this, JF is already working on the Fokker 70/100, but I am happy that the release isn't too soon, I still feel the need for some F28 flights. I cannot wait the the UNS-1 system and maybe some adjustment to bugs the community spotted.
If you are looking for realism, accuracy, feel and fun... go with the Fokker 28, learn the bird, and prepare yourself for the transition to the F70/100!
I think my only big hope is that one day we can get a shared cockpit feature to fly those dutch bird in a proper way UwU
Thank you JustFlight for your beautiful addon,
I never flew that much on the sim since I was 18 :D (I am now 27)Cheers,

@AlexEtz Thank you for the kind words. The F28 Professional was an enjoyable one for us to develop with it being so different to anything else, so we're glad to see our passion for it is reflected in the product. We'll pass on your words to the rest of the development team.
We'll be turning our attention to the F28 again soon to give it a similar treatment to that of the recent 146 Professional Version 2 update. There are some new features coming to the F28 that we haven't announced yet, so there's lots to look forward too!
