Carenado PC12 Who bit and what's it like?

Featured Replies

Title says it all.

 

I'm surprised at the lack of feedback on it, Maybe it's been out for awhile and just recently released on Simmarket?

One of my favourite aircraft todate. I keep flying it.

 

There are a few bugs still but some have been fixed in the forum.

How About FPS?

 

Oh yeah forgot about their unofficial forum down below...off to see what's being said.

I have it and it still doesn't zing for me.  I've taken it for a few flights.  The landing, for me, is odd (they say it's the way the real airplane is but can't say I'm convinced yet).  I like the fact that it's a single-pilot airplane.  Still has some bugs that may not get fixed.

Thanks Gregg, it's nice to hear what P3D users have to say.  I really don't need anything new but I love shopping around just the same. Been eyeing that Lionhart Learjet for awhile now too while I wait for the Aerosoft CRJ that's due out in 2036.

I haven't flown it in P3D...honestly wouldn't without a good GNS available.  2036...hmmm.

Over on the SimForums I was reading about lots of technical problems.

2036...hmmm.

  just a joke for those who have been waiting on this project that started in the hands of Digital Aviation and has since been taken over and managed by Aerosoft.  I read where one customer who was looking forward to the release actually started flight school and is now a rated CRJ 1st Officer or Captain in the CRJ and the project still has not released :lol:

  I've purchased a number of Carenado GA aircraft in the past, I am much more selective of their offerings. Need some positive reviews and or time to mature before I'll pull the trigger anymore.

For Air Hauler it kind of cannot carry that much, I end up preferring a C208, especially with shorter grass strips that AH seems give you alot.

There's tons of commentary on the Carenado sub forum.

 

(Any Carenado related posts will get moved to their sub forum... A but annoying because I look to the FSX forum for initial release impressions)

 

I like it a lot - especially with two GTN750's modded in the VC

 

Bernt did a nice job with the FDE - flies by the numbers.

I'm enjoying it. I don't fly it a lot, but it's a nice aircraft and she is getting some use from me over in the mountains of Switzerland in FS Economy. Lots of fun.

Well suited to P3D, I'm using v2.4 and am getting smooth flights with plenty of detail, just love the way the sun casts it's shadows over the panel when in the right position. As previosuly mentioned nothing has changed from the Carenado B200 as far as Nav instrumentation but it fills a nice void missing in P3D aircraft availability. Off topic slightly, RealAir are updating their Turbine Duke to P3D v2 standard as we speak which should also service the turboprop aircraft for P3D
