October 27, 20223 yr It depends what you mean by best. 😛 If best means most realistic, the Kodiak is probably the best choice, although it’s not without a couple of issues/bugs currently that can detract from its realism. If you mean easy to get started and fly, then the default Caravan is probably the best. If you want old school analog gauges, then the Black Square Caravan is best. If fast is best, then the TBM or anything with twin engines is for you. Edited October 27, 20223 yr by Virtual-Chris
October 27, 20223 yr My favourite is the MilViz PC-6, its engine management is pretty simple perhaps not that realistic but I think thats the same for all MSFS Turboprops. It flys well. I would like it more if they actually brought out the steam gauge version though
October 27, 20223 yr Author Thanks for the suggestions. Would go with the TBM, but do not like the glass cockpit. Btw, I already know how to fly in general, (both real world and sim). I want to learn engine management specific to turboprops. I think I will go with the steam gauge King Air.

October 27, 20223 yr Following this thread as a good initial question... I prefer steam gauges though..

I'm having so much fun with this one, and really appreciate the system depth. Bit of a learning curve compared to the Caravan and the Kodiak, but once that is overcome this one is a joy to fly. I might add that in collaboration with the freeware developer JD there's some significant changes to the flight model as well as all the other enhancements vs default. The only thing that remains is pretty much the exterior and sounds. But - there's an excellent sound package available for a small fee which really bring those turboprop engines to life.

Majestic - they've been around for years, they just don't produce different planes. They stick with just the Dash I guess. A bit odd, but they are masters at that one plane.

Apparently they announced their plans for working on a MSFS version in August 2020. Edited October 27, 20223 yr by Cpt_Piett 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

The Kodiak is study level. and so may not as accessible (I don't have it so I'm not sure about that). These are turbo charged pistons, not turbo props. Totally different.

I almost bought it but it frightened me off. Looks terrific though. They should change their name from Black Square to Back Arts.😁 The World is divided into two groups.

It seems like they're getting closer or at least sound more committed but it's not really clear at all as to when. An update is overdue it would appear when Kroswynd said an there would be an information update but that was back in August: http://majesticsoftware.com/forums/discussion/890/majestic-softwares-plans-for-microsofts-upcoming-flight-simulator-2020 Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.

October 28, 20223 yr You might want to check out the NextGen EMB-110. It's a simple twin turboprop. Edited October 28, 20223 yr by Phantoms James
