January 7, 20224 yr SWS is working directly with Pilatus to bring a PC12 and PC12NG to the sim. (the latter probably well into 2023 due to nature of avionics) Info from their Discord: Pilatus PC-12: We recently signed a licensing agreement with Pilatus Aircraft to bring their PC-12 to Microsoft Flight Simulator! Our current plan is to make two PC-12 releases: one will be the PC-12/47 which will come with a mixed glass/steam cockpit. Our goal is to have the aircraft out towards the middle of the year, built to the same standard as the Kodiak. The second would be the Pilatus PC-12NG with a fully-fledged custom glass cockpit, but due to the code work required, this is going to come in 2023. All our aircraft will benefit from gradual updates and improvements we will be doing to the Kodiaks, as we learn more about MSFS' SDK and work around its limitations. There are another two airframes that we are looking to bring into MSFS under our banner before and after the PC-12, but we will withhold their names until we are better prepared to reveal them. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

January 7, 20224 yr Looking forward to them being released. SWS are one to watch in the coming months. I really like the standards they are setting for a fair price.

January 7, 20224 yr We’re going need a good 430/530 with WAAS, holds, turn anticipation etc for this. Hopefully WT is currently working on it. Ron Hamilton "95% is half the truth, but most of it is lies, but if you read half of what is written, you'll be okay." __ Honey Boo Boo's Mom

January 7, 20224 yr Ohhhhhh that is exciting! The PC-12 is such a cool aircraft and having one done to the same standard as the Kodiak will be amazing!

January 7, 20224 yr Good to see SWS establishing a niche for themselves in MSFS. Quite a departure from the type of aircraft they made in P3D (I loved their T-37 Tweet BTW) but this new direction is working quite well for them.
