I need something in this size, I just can't decide..any preferences? I'm leaning toward the PC-12sell me or unsell me on either one.thanksbs

Between these, I'd have to say the PC-12. The flight model is far superior to the Kodiak's. However if it were between the PC-12 and Lionheart's Epic LT, then I'd probably go with the LT.

I own both. To be quite frank - I hardly touch either of them anymore.I'd go for the RealAir Duke or Lotus L39http://realairsimulations.com/duke09/intro...ge=duke09_introhttp://lotussim.com/

Agreed!jja

PC-12, one of the most under-rated addons ever. Just wish all systems were modeled

How about the Cessna Citation Mustang......it is a very nice plane designed for the smaller airstrips.Bill Clark

I use both.Lionheart's products look and feeling are consistent and well done. The flyability is really different than the PC12. You get the pseudo G1000 and default Caravan sounds. They are many liveries and configurations.PC12. Fly higher, faster and still can land very short. Sounds are great. I've made nice looking screenshots with both they suits for that.a little plus for lionheart, you get both FSX and FS9 for the price.RV

mm.. well I'm leaning toward the pc12. I like the higher and faster partI have heard that the pc12 for fsx has been greatly improved since the fs9 version. Is this really true? I had the fs9 version when it came out and boy, I returned it, it was a frame rate hog on my machine. for those who run fsx, is it really much improved?thanksand oh, the reason I brought up these two a/c is because I need a nine seater.

HelloI run the PC-12 in FSX and FS9The gauges are very smooth in the FSX version and I find it gives good frame rates.I also have the Kodiak and while it is very nice I prefer the PC-12

I have both (or all three is counting the Epic LT).It really depends on what type of flying you prefer. I love the Kodiak for bush flying in and out of remote sites, plus a good single engine GA cruise speed.For single engine cross-country into limited size runways, the PC-12 is great. So is the LT.As far as the quality of the models, they are all good.GW

Check out the RealAir Duke.

Seriously, how many people here have ever even seen a Kodiak or PC-12, let alone flown one in order to make that statement? From my understanding Lionhart had the support of the Quest Aircraft Company in making it and were able to fly the real thing.

HelloFlight1's PC-12 gets this endorsement from Pilatus (This is taken from the Flight1 website)Officially Endorsed By Pilatus Business Aircraft, Ltd. - Broomfield, CO Pilatus Business Aircraft, Ltd. says:"We'd been looking for a high-quality Pilatus PC-12 plug-in for Microsoft Flight Simulator for several years, and as soon as we heard Flight One had one available we browsed their website to look at what they'd created. We were simply blown away by what we saw. After downloading the model, we were even more impressed with its extremely accurate rendition of the PC-12's details -- right down to the British-accented voice callouts of the CAWS! The flight model is a lot of fun and it's a great way for Pilatus enthusiasts to get an introduction to a fantastic pilot's aircraft."Says it all really

Haha I've seen them both operate in and out of Duluth. When the kodiak plane was first certified we had two of them up here. PC12's come in all the time, normally air ambulance from Canada, I've seen them do super short landings.

LolI have watched F-16s fly over my house and land at the airport up the street for years and years and years. That doesn't make me qualified to comment on F-16 flight dynamics.To answer the OP's original question, I very much enjoy the PC-12 (it is one of my favorite aircraft in FSX). Nothing wrong with the Lionheart Kodiak though, it has a very strong following at Sim-Outhouse.
