Sounds like a lot of folks will vanish from the forums a couple of days checking out their PC-12's..... -John

I just got it, and to be honest, It hasnt met my expectations. I cant say what it is but it dosent feel like a flight1 release. Dont get me wrong its still great, but as I said it just feels rough round the edges.Jason

Pretty good so far. Would have liked more photorealistic panels. Panels are a bit pixelated for my taste. I also find the included gps hard to read even when popped up.ricardo

Just did a quick flight from PVD to Block Island. I'm a bit dissapointed as well, great exterior model, top notch. Only the exec version has a VC at all, plus a cabin, which isn't to detailed. This bums me out as I fly VC only and was looking forward to some cargo flights, guess I am SOL. I found the VC really heavy on the frames and some graphical/design issues, like no backs to the seats in the cockpit, look right thru, although with the heaviness on it, I can see why they didn't add the extra 2 polygons! LOL (although you could lose the coke can and the map on the seat for the seat backs)The 2D is really nice IMO (even though I won't use it), much better looking than the screenshots I have seen. I couldn't find any way to bring up the secondary panels other than the menu in FS, but like I said, only did a quick flight.She handled nice and smooth and felt good, probably to good! LOLGuess I am spolied by all the goodies you got with the A36, but if you like 2D flight and a nice exterior, she's a beaut. Worth checking out if you are interested in this design since they have the refund policy, which I actually thought about, but she'll probably grow on me.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International

I just picked it up, and I like it a lot!

Isn't there another PC-12 on the market?Dave FisherCYYZP4 2.8 GB 478P 533 MHZ CPUP4P800S Asus Motherboard1.0 gig DDR RAMGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 40 Gig ATA 133 HD x2WDC WD800 80 Gig HDhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I'm also looking forward to some more posts about this product as I'm now not too sure anymore whether I should buy it. First of all the screenshots of VC didn't look like the latest class in development and there were some other small points in the screenshots I didn't very much like.

Actually, yes there are 2, or will be. One is from Abacus and has been available for some time.The other is a PC-12 Executive and is to be released later today or tomorrow from a new sim site opening up.don

I was hoping the 2D cockpit would look more like the one in FLY2.I'm not comparing the two sims, just the textures.

I was surprised by the screenshots of the VC. They don't seem to quite come up to the excellent standards that I've come to expect from Flight 1 products. Haven't bought the package so can't comment on the rest.

Ok, after reading all the info here I was a little worried to make a purchase, but I did, and heres my view.Good2D is very nice in my eyesThe primary instrumentation is awesome, extremely smooth and clear, top part of the package for meExternal model is very niceBadOnly one of the models has a VC, pretty dissapointed about this, also the one with the VC doesnt have a no VC optionVC refresh is very low, almost impossible to fly from itGetting all sorts of crashes and CTD's, which I havent had any for months and months, when selecting and trying to start with itUndecidedFlight model, not very easy to trim out, and once you have managed to trim it out looses the trim very quickly so you are forever fighting with the trimOverall its a bit of a mixed bag, certainly not up to the very high standards that have been set before, 50% dissapointed with the purchase.This one is gonna be hard to recommend, best bet is to try it, and if you dont like it use F1's 30 day policyDan.

I was going to buy this when I saw it was released, now I am also not so sure. I have been flying the freeware version from AFG for a while now and thats not bad at all. Maybe I'll stick with that one for a while.This is the URL if anyone else wants to try it.http://www.alliedfsgroup.com/CheersTimhttp://members.chello.nl/t.westnutt/realair1.gif

Exactly the same feeling here. Just not sure whether I want to buy it. But nobody has said anything about the systems. How are they? Is everything simulated?
