Carenado King Air C90B is released!

[Phantom88 3,282]

I've been waiting for this plane for a long time and its finally arrived ... and I've been flying this plane all evening.

There are more great planes in X-Plane now than I'm able to devote time to ... that said I am a turboprop addict and this C90 by Dan via Carenado is easily a classic for X-Plane just as the Moo, the SAAB, the AN-2, the JS-32 and the 757 are (my biases except for the 757 which I'll wait until its settled before I buy .. possibly in the new year!).

 

In terms of how it feels, well that's very subjective but in my estimation it is superlative; head and shoulders a better feel / more fluid than the FSX equivalent by Carenado. In FM feel it's vaguely similar to the B200 by Flight1 ... but better (I own all three of these KingAir's).

 

Systems are very well modelled IMO, and as Mario mentioned already the GPS limitation is an X-Plane limitation at the moment, but I've been told by a person who knows that the situation will one day be remedied for X-Plane.

 

Overdone torque effect? JComm and LA will be happy with this one I'm sure. I can fly hands off without the fear of becoming a lawndart.

 

Dan Klaue is a genius. If you even slightly like turboprops ... this plane is a must get, beg, borrow or steal .. well DON't steal OK? These guys work hard for little return and because of that everyone should buy two copies ... if you can afford to of course! :wub:

 

Now ... if only Aerosoft would port their Twotter Extended to X-Plane my simming wants would be fully catered for.

Fantastic review Mate!! :smile: Thank You.

Hmmm, think I have to change my acquisition plans too :-)

 

It really looks great!

I have more payware than I can fly for the next two years. Did not touch the new MU-2 version yet so I stay away from another turboprop. However, a B200 release would change that, I think.

Oh my god, oh my god, it has windscreen rain effects?! Do they look good as good in motion?

How is the system depth and flight dynamics?
