Couple of questions

Absolutely agree, I'm also having troubles building speed past 130-140kts. I also find the "drop like a rock" tendency when the power is cut below 500lb torque a little extreme, the airplane noses over and loses airspeed like crazy. I realize that the Caravan is a bit nose heavy, but that much drop seems a bit unrealistic, though correct me if I'm wrong, I've certainly never flown a 208.

Is there a solution to this? Personally I find it annoying even if it is realistic.Thanks in advance guys.

I also noticed this little extreme drop..!Maybe we can ask FEDE to take a look why it drops like that below 500LB

It is realistic, it happens because the large surface area of the prop which turns into an air brake when rotating so slowly.
