How much better is this over the recent competition's?  I have the competitions and am reluctant to spring $60.00 for another B200.  But MAN do I want it!

Just try it. I did, and decided not having a terrain page on the mfd just felt too naked to me being as 90% of my simulated flights are around mountainous terrain. So a simple email and I had my cash back in a couple days. Its different enough from the others that there is definitely no redundancy.

Just got it!  I have to say it's great but I prefer the old style steam gauges over the glass G1000.  I feel like I'm flying a computer with the G1000.  Too bad we couldn't have the Carenado graphics imported to this plane THEN we would really have something.  It looks like I may just continue to fly the Carenado as the B200 isn't a plane I fly all the time.  We'll see.    

Rubbish, the same servos that would work for VNAV would work for GS (glide slope).

The theory that a King Air owner would chose not to install some 'servos' to lighten his G1000 installation bill is equally preposterous as ridiculous, even a lowly Cirrus SR22-G1000 comes equipped standard with all the servos and this airplane costs a small fraction what an average used King Air would cost. And Cirrus SR22 has VNAV and all other G1000 bells and whistles.

 

Flight1 decided not to support VNAV (and other G1000 features) in this "light" version of G1000 and it can be deemed a fair business practice but unrelated to real world G1000 fleet.

 

Its not Theory, its FACT, from a King Air Pilot, flying Freight in Canada,

 

Who said anything about the King Air even  being fitted with a G1000 ,  or even a serviceable Auto_pilot.  ?

 

It's not a question of "not Installing"  -- more  disabling the servos  (and autopilot), to cut maintenance costs  on "unnecessary" equipment.   Welcome to the REAL WORLD  of cut-throat competition in the Canadian Air Haulage business.

 

If you think  that's rubbish, fine,  -- I assume you must believe you know more that the pilot who actually flies the plane  in the example I gave.

Well my last 2 flight in the B200 resulted in fatal errors so we will see what happens here.  Opened the FMS (shift 4 panel) while viewing the MFD pop up and I got a frozen screen that turned white and crashed FSX. On a positive note the FPS are much better than the Carenado's B200 so far.

"FPS are much better than the Carenado's B200 so far"

 

Crazy I see the exact opposite happening Carendo smokes f1 in fps dept. goes to show you how crazy FSX is.

 

 

Opened the FMS

Whatever the little panel on center console is called that operates the MFD...has FMS button, range button, keypad etc. what do they call this?

I call it the keypad but officially GCU477 MFD Controller

OK, I am glad you clarified ambiguity from your previous post - it was not only me who thought you meant there are separate "VNAV" servos (as opposed to some other say glide slope servos). On the other hand I hope these guys haul equipment, not people, as far as I recall you can't dispatch a turboprop aircraft with passengers for hire into IFR conditions without a working autopilot. On the other hand even if they can legally do it in Canada I still would be reluctant to send passengers to such an operator, a servo may cost thousands but any work on each of their turbine engines costs hundreds of thousands, if one is skimping on relatively small items I wonder what else might be going on...

On the subject of the Caranedo aircraft, I am experiencing the "skeleton" exterior view which I used to suffer with the PMDG 737NGX. No problem with the 737 but surprised to experience it with an aircraft that I assume to be much less complex.

 

Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

You've got the highmemfix=1 in your cfg right?

Yes, 100% Freight  and mostly short flights to difficult locations.

Yes I did that to help the issue with the NGX, now for the first time it has reappeared in the Caranedo B200.

 Are you using Ezdok?

 

I get that sometimes when I install a new airplane or update and forget to run the EZCA config to update the cameras.

Ah yes I am using EZdok. I will try that John and thank you so much for the help.
