They all seem to be simulated, which ones in particular would you like to know?.I am sure that if thry could cure the crashes I am having, the fact that most of the mosts have no VC, and somehow increase the VC refresh rate it would be tops.Dan.

I have not spent enough time with this bird to be able to comment on the flight characteristics, but I can tell you that the 2d cockpit is first rate with a spectacular EADI / EHSI combination and that the VC looks great, no matter where you look. You can choose from either 2048 or 1024 pixel resolution in the VC so you can make your own bed so to speak on quality vs performance.Here some screenshot snippets 2d and VC at full 1280x1024 resolutionhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/113889.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/113890.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/113891.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/113892.jpg

Before lighting a fire, it would be appreciated if you could look into some common problem areas associated with CTD'sCTD's on higher end aircraft have also been attributed to other factors such as:1. Loading the new aircraft after another 3rd party aircraft or in a Flight Simulator session where a 3rd party aircraft was previously loaded.2. Mis-matched memory, memory not set to the proper voltage in bios, bad memory, or memory not perfectly seated in the Motherboard.3. Of course video drivers. Use FS in a mode like 1024 x 768 also to see what happens.4. Other utilities or scenery. Move to another airport not affected in any way by add-on scenery, and disable any 3rd party modules you may have installed. You may locate a conflict!5. Do a fresh system reboot. Stuff remains in memory sometimes from previous FS Sessions.6. Locate the FS9.CFG file in C:Documents and SettingsYOURNAMEApplication DataMicrosoftFS9. Rename it to something else, and then start FS. It will build a fresh copy. You can restore your original back if you need to.Jim

Well im sorry to say, but after completing six flights with this plane im not really liking it. I really feel its a rush job, and I dont like it to much. I also cant understand how it can be priced as such without any reality-xp stuff included, if you consider the last release.Nahh its going to sit in my hanger untill I upgrade the avionics to the reality-xp.Also I think that the fde is a little weird especially the trim.I do hope a patch is made for it. I would of rather paied $35-40 for a much better product.Oh well, you cant win 'em' all.Jason

No TCAS? DOH! I am the biggest fan of realism. Just cause this one doesn't have a tcas, i guess my credit card it going back in my wallet. Darn, such a s simple thing to implement too into a panel

>Well im sorry to say, but after completing six flights with>this plane im not really liking it.

The PC12 has a different mission than many other aircraft and to appreciate it, you need to spend time with it, study the manual and the tutorials to fully experience this package. But the great thing about Flight1 products are you have a choice to keep it or not and we respect any decision you take. However, this product was not rushed, it is very well done and offers a lot of realism with respect to the real PC12, the systems it offers and a true pilots perspective. Its anything but a rush job.Jim Rhoads

Hello there :-)as a swissman ;-) and a real fan of Pilatus, i am really interested in this product, but to be honest as i took a look at the screenshots i got unshure about buying it.The 2D panels is quiet good, but the VC looks soso...Also the fact that the VC is not modeled for all types makes me not happy!And i think the price should be somewhere like PMDG Express, ca. 15 USD! Dont take me wrong, but this product does not match the level of other flight1 products! Fact!If you do a "big" patch we could speak about it, but at this point i am disapointed! sorry but that reflects just my personal opinion!regardsMcdaniel

Wow! Pretty strong opinions here and some from people who have not even used the product!As one who has flown a PC-12 I think the Flight-1 version is excellent. 2d panel and custom avionics and GPS are excellent (sorry folks but every aircraft out there does not have a 430 or a 530). So far I think the VC is as good as everything else out there, but I guess I don

Jim,Don't take this the wrong way, but I am not an FS virgin, I know all the above, and don't you think I would have tried all that?.After the vitriolic PM I got from Mr Halpern, I will not be blackening Flight 1's door again, and have uninstalled the PC-12.FS just isnt worth all this agravation, and its getting WORSEDan.

Sorry, but this is a sophisticated plane and the statement of "does not match the level of other Flight1 products" leaves me scratching my head.I've only flown this plane since yesterday afternoon and I am still working my way through the (excellent) tutorials.. but I can tell you this much: This plane feels like a real quality job!! "Big patch" not needed!

Anyone that knows Steve would have a hard time believing that. Sorry you feel the way you do. We are more than happy to refund your purchase.Best Regards,Jim Rhoads

You know what, I couldn't care less, keep the money, I am fed up with it.FS used to be fun, but with the ever increasing ego's we have to deal with, its getting less and less fun.
