here is a very detailed 3 part description, everything from cold and dark. I am sure there are similar introductory youtubes for the C414 as well.

I think there is more than enough "depth of study of all systems" now that all Garmins GNS 530 got updated by workingtitle's fantastic and highly complex Avionics update AAU1. works in the 3 Carenado's and the FlySimware Cessna 414:

Finally grabbed the PA44 update.  I'm not fond of the interior engine sounds.  Something seems a little off.  Also it flies like a paper airplane.  None of their other models act like this...it's extremely twitchy.  While the Seminole is a light twin it's a bit more firm in the air at least from my experience.

And the avionics are now worse, not better.. 😟

although disappointing, with the solid c414 in the hangar there's no real need for another twin.

objection your honor! an analog Beech Baron and updated BKSQ KingAir, preferably with workingtitle Garmins and doors to open, will outsell any other twin, incl. the C414. read my lips. can't wait for both of them.

And I still want a Turbine Duke like I used to have in the old days!

Love the old school twins, bunging the same garmin units into all the twins is making them a big samey, 

I’d also like a steam Seneca 2. 

I thought the Seminole update was pretty good, what’s the issue with the avionics?

could we agree on old school twins with old school, non-touch screen Garmins then, like the GNS 530/400 combo?

I expect lots of people want the twins they learned on, (same reason asobo put the analogue 172 in the upgraded packages in the original game). so that’s why the Seneca and Seminole etc are so popular.

I like the 414 but flying it is a very different experience to the small twins.

Yes indeed.

What is worse about the avionics?

not worse, a lot more powerful and therefore much more complex. If you don't understand them precisely, they can kill you. mind you, single pilot night IFR is a challenge in itself:

HSI GSI needle does not deflect correctly, STEC autopilot displays incorrectly and seems disconnected from the 3 way switch in the panel, and most annoying, the VS knob now operates backwards.. Not a lot of fun to fly..
