Looking for a glass twin aircraft...

Featured Replies

I'm in the need of a twin aircraft that has the G1000 or G3000, working title.
Either payware or freeware.
total seat of 6 - 12 etc.
Anything out there?

Ciao!

Baron in the deluxe pack assuming you have that.  It's pretty basic systems wise but will at least accept the excellent G1000 NXi

No need to look hard. The Simworks Studios Kodiak is your new plane. G1000 Nxi works well with her.

The only way you'd have a twin-engine Kodiak is if there's one crated up in the cargo compartment...

Lol… missed the twin part. I have pop ups (Cox) on this forum every other tap on anything in Avsim right now on my iPad. Ticking me off and obviously distracted. Apologies.

No problem…I was hoping I could get away from the stock aircraft, but….

I did forget about the Kingair 350i

i love the TBM930 with mod. So …

Ciao!

 

 

I assume you are talking props or otherwise all the biz jets and regional jets would fit 😄

Generally in the real world there is a trend away from light piston twins and towards turboprop singles as from a performance, as well as from a safety and reliability point of view, a turboprop single beats most piston twins hands down.   Turbo props rarely break whereas a lot of piston twins could barely hold altitude on a single engine so the idea of a having a backup engine for safety was more in peoples heads than anything else.

Which means a lot of the piston twins in games model older designs with steam gauges from the heyday of fast light piston twins.

Interesting point, do you have an article/reference about this topic?

A2A is supposed to have a Piper Aerostar 600/601 in development. Maybe that's not enough glass for you. 6 seater only if you count the pilot. Holds speed records for twin prop GA planes. Was accident prone, lots of crashes.

Aspen avionics dash for the Aerostar:

I think the A2A Aerostar is on hold after the real world plane they were using as the base was scrapped after a gear up landing.

Yeah, however they are working on their Comanche instead so it's not all bad news.

Forget about the b350i - it's one of the worst planes in the sim.

Kind of interesting that Charles Lindbergh made that very point to his financial backers (and then the world) 95 years ago next month.
