Jeeese that was fast.  I already fell on the sword for the PC12 and RV8...who's next lol?

Mainly I would like to know how in depth the Sandel is?  (The electronic HSI gauge)...  And how the turboprop simulation is....

Sorry Ryan. Too tired to go deep. Quick review. Autopilot works (gotta turn on autopilot master first), circuit breakers works, flies believable. Will do more test tomorrow.

I like it. The iPads a bit intrusive. It could do with more functionality such as a map and charts. Can't see how to stow it away?  And no PMS GTN750 option.

Sounds like a big improvement on the Local Legend Fokker then.

Unless the Steam Gague KA 350 finally comes out today I guess I'll be trying this over the w/e.

One quick question though - does the plane really take 7.3Gb of space once installed ?

I'm hoping this is good. As an aircraft it is right up my street. It looks like Kodiak V2 and the Amphib version are about to drop so this one will have to wait for video reviews.

It would be great if they modelled some skydivers jumping from the plane, similar to the animations HPG did with their emergency addon. That would be such fun considering a skydive variant is already included. Hopefully more developers start to go the extra mile like HPG did.

Yup. It's 7.3GB.

OUCH ! I'm down to 83Gb of space on my Flight Sim SSD so something might have to give way for this one !

Do the variants show up separately? I'd probably lose one or two of them plus most of the liveries. That would cut it down quite a bit.

Yes. They are all separate.

Seems like a winner to me. The one visual annoyance I  notice is a flat spot in the windshield surround. And of course now I've spotted it I can't stop looking at it!

Sounds are nothing to write home about though. They are probably the weakest feature.

Good point, can archive them off to a storage HDD when I don't need them

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

 

Just did some short testing. Mostly like already said above. Most things doing its job as expected. Some minor stuff. No sounds on doors and windows. Broken animation on the gas springs for the windows. A severe lack of documentaion, only basic checklists provided. The tablet needs some serious improvement and an option to hide, please. No cargo or pax appearing on load. Sandel seems to have some options working properly and nice custom engine gauges but without any documentation about features hard to tell. Overall seems ok and flying nicely but needs some more love. Afaik as I read some stuff like custom soundset, failures and stuff will be coming later. Hopefully 😉 And why always two GTNs? An option for just one GTN would be nice too. Less glass 😉

Cheers
