Interior looks very clean/ not worn.

Is it like that across all variants??

I only had a chance to look at passenger variant so far. But based on store screenshot they all have the same look.

Only had one short flight, overhead Rudder trim wheel is reversed left/right. Beta range seems to actually be reverse? works well though.
No idea how realistic it is, Ive never flown a turbine Aeroplane

My biggest disappointment is not completely implemented SANDEL. Half baked PFD, why? They could have stick with analog.

Does it show lpv glide path at least with the TDS?

I have not tried instrument approaches yet. Frankly I'm kind of disappointed in PAC. Comparing with analog Caravan and Kodiak orbx kind of falls toward Carenado puppy mill. They could have made a bit more advanced. 

Wilga and King Air are my most anticipated GA now

Tried to take it for a flight but gave up. Elevator trim using the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke keys and the Honeycomb Bravo trim wheel did not work. Moved a very short distance and was reversed. Looks like it will be a nice aircraft after a bit of work.

If you can walk away it's a good landing

I love it when Avsim saves me money 😁

Not quite sure why there is such a downer on this plane?
 I can't find much to complain about. Sure, there are things that could be improved such as the sound and the EFB and no doubt there is the odd bug but that could be said about most of the planes when just released that I have bought. I am no RW pilot but to me it flies like a dream and has none of the weird behaviour that some have when taking off and landing. I would say it's a good product and well worth the money considering all the variants you get in the package. Crop spraying, Sky diving, Cargo and Passenger all modelled in detail.

It is just the usual spread of opinions and expectations of Avsim forum users.

The developers have already said they will be improving it as they go, including a custom sound set.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Its got a very tough undercarriage :blush:

Anyone got to grips with the fuel system yet ?

From my understanding of the PoH the engine is ultimately fed from the front tanks via a sump and the the Fuel Pump pumps fuel from teh rear tanks into the front to keep them topped up but it only seems to feed from the left rear tank - is there a control I'm overlooking ?

Oh and I just checked an RNAV approach into EGBB and it looks to show vertical information on both the Sandel and the NAV2 Analogue OBS (it sems to be showing it on NAV 2 even when RNAV approach isn't loaded on GPS 2, but that seems better than not showing it on anything)

Even in it's limited form the SANDEL shows A LOT more information than an analogue HSI so for me at least it's a better tool.

Have you tried setting the trims manually yourself? Pretty easy to do. I have PFC gear & none of my controls are pre set so I use a combination on MSFS & FSUIPC to do so. 

This aircraft if great for flying into small PNG bush strips as it's easy to fly, very maneuverable & visibility is great. My favorite bush plane now. You're missing out by not flying it because of the trim issue. I assume Honeycomb gear is self programmable.

Can you discuss the functionality a little more?  Can you display bearing needles from VOR1/2 or GPS/ADF?  Does it show lpv glide path using the GTN?

I can set the elevator via keyboard links but I'd prefer to use the Honeycomb controls.
