June 11, 20214 yr The PC-12 is one of the best turboprop planes in GA. I’m curious as to why no one has attempted a flight sim version of the NG. Flight1 had the older, non-glass cockpit version of the PC-12 which was my favorite one to fly. Is it the Honeywell avionics? I know that we have the TBM, but the PC-12 is better for STOL and grass/dirt strip flying. I would love to see someone develop one. Edited June 11, 20214 yr by AUjeffk
June 11, 20214 yr Not sure about best, but one of the best for sure! I would like to see it as well.

June 11, 20214 yr Frankly the Epic is the 'Best' and now certified its apples to apples. It beats anything out there hands down on every metric. The Evolution is a blast to fly and with the 850hp Pratt does over 300Kts as well, but is experimental. The PC-12 flies like a truck... Edited June 11, 20214 yr by Flyfaster_MTN002 SAR Pilot.

I think the pc12 ngx has the epic 1000 beat on range, and seats if configured right. They trade blows swapping takeoff and landing distances. Not to mention that massive cargo door. My company operates a ton of king air’s and I’m a bit jelly of the cargo doors on the pilatus. We will never switch as we prefer the “safety” of a twin but that’s a different discussion.

Even though they sometimes release broken stuff, they do listen to the community. really? i got the waco yesterday, horrible groundhandling , evryone sees that, no fix. this will prob be my first and last carenado aircraft(unless they fix soon), this in contrast to the stearman and the ryan st..these are great ones for a small price.
