May 3, 20224 yr Hey guys, i like to do short hops around NZ....fly the A320 to main centres but was wondering if anyone knows of a Dash 8 or an ATR that works with our sim (payware is fine) to fly the short hops?

May 3, 20224 yr Not yet. There’s a few freeware attempts that tie old fsx models to the default king air cockpit and the like, but nothing I’m interested in. Milviz is working on the ATR as is Asobo themselves. And some day probably not any time soon, Majestic will have their Q400. Aerosoft Twin Otter is about as close as you are gonna get. Or do short hops in the new Bae146 or the Aerosoft CRJ jets.

May 3, 20224 yr Also the Milviz PC-6 is available, if you're into really slow, short hops. It can do a hot start on you if you aren't careful. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

May 4, 20224 yr Kodiak and Twotter are great! The Bandeirante is in dire need of a soundpack. Asus Maximus X Hero Z370/ Windows 10 MSI Gaming X 1080Ti (2100 mhz OC Watercooled) 8700k (4.7ghz OC Watercooled) 32GB DDR4 3000 Ram 500GB SAMSUNG 860 EVO SERIES SSD M.2

I invested 4.50 EUR (one month of patreon) and got the FTSim+ Soundpack for it. I find the aircraft usable now. It's better than the default sounds to me.

May 4, 20224 yr The Kodiak is probably the best so far.... maybe a close tie with Milviz PC6 -the KODI is a lot faster though hehe | 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 |
May 4, 20224 yr Kodiak does a pretty good job of emulating true PT6A turbo prop engine behaviour. In my opinion the best PT6 engine in the game. Not perfect though, you can even forget and leave the conditioner on high idle and hit start - and it just starts without any excess ITT temps or "hot start" engine damage. Only has room for a co-pilot and 8 passengers though. Edited May 4, 20224 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick

May 4, 20224 yr There's a DHC Dash 7 in early development. Probably a bit of a wait, though. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
May 4, 20224 yr I'll also recommend the Kodiak if you're into that type of plane. It's not a large passenger liner, but it's very well done. As far as I'm concerned it's currently the top of the heap for 3rd party MSFS planes atm. At least in terms of the ones I've bought. The Twotter seems to be making a lot of turboprop junkies happy as well. Not really my jam personally (I prefer smaller planes), but those that have it seem to really like it.
