June 10, 20196 yr I had originally placed this in the Milviz Section of the Avsim forum, however I need to update some of my points made and therefore it seemed a good opportunity to move the post to hanger chat. I'm not sure if there are updates pushed through Milviz Addon Manager as a few points below are no longer valid; I purchased the PC6 from Milviz yesterday and have been enjoying some flights around Tapini. Overall Milviz have done a great job with the PC6. Whilst it's not an aircraft I know much about, it's a blast to fly especially when using it's STOL capability. What I like The turbine engine start up is the best I have experienced within a flight sim (Microsoft/Lockheed). Milviz have done a great job. With the doors off, in VR, I suffered vertigo a few times, the view down is exceptional Performance is very good Sounds are great Nice to have steam driven dials rather than a glass layout What I currently have issues with The radio config tool is OK but I would like better options. I find the options too limiting. I preference the A2A or RealAir system. I would like to select the 750 unit only. When selecting certain GPS radio configs the flight one 650 is not properly displayed. When selecting the default, the radios look terrible (default). It seems they can be upgraded to NAVSTAX for $29 Unable to select the 'home' or 'direct to' buttons opn the F1 GTN, clicking on the bezel removes results in a black GTN screen Is the weather radar unit too small? It also seems to cause regular stutters when I select. Rain drop effect not very realistic, the best I have experienced so far is the A2A effect. The current effect looks like grey smudges and does not appear to move or react to airflow in a realistic way. Currently I now have no rain effects on the windshield Lighting effects not the best; The beacon is a red dot. It does seem to be 'rotating' however it can be seen all the time. I would preference a strobe type. Landing light appears as a white dot forward of the lamp unit when viewed from the cockpi I've uploaded a video showing the brilliant modeling and start up of the PT6 engine https://youtu.be/pt-CAOE1FR8 Also a quick bit of STOL fun https://youtu.be/gSO3OSA3hpI Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and I'm looking forward to many hours of bush flying. Well done Milviz. Update - This is fast becoming my favorite light aircraft in P3D. Paul Edwards
