August 5, 20232 yr Any thoughts on the Carenado PC12? The review rating is 3.5 stars on the Marketplace. Is it possible to read the reviews, when I click on it, it gives me a chart of the ratings, but no way to access the reviews? Thanks!

No there's no written reviews unfortunately. With the SWS on the horizon I'd skip it.... but personally I like it.... it's not advanced systems wise but looks excellent and supports both TDS and PMS GTNs. Some people have issues with low fps after a while but not me. | 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 |
August 5, 20232 yr I enjoy it as well and fly it at least a couple of times a week. It's certainly not "study level" or whatever the buzzword for that is now, but for some reason I absolutely love this plane. The SWS PC12 should be impressive. I think end of September is the latest release date.

August 5, 20232 yr Honestly? I'd avoid it. Having that plane and all its issues for several months without a fix left a bad taste for me....All things Carenado. It works but the systems/performance/realism is simply not there. I would just fly the working title tbm, kodiak or black square planes.

August 6, 20232 yr I bought it. Flew it once. Flew it again after the "patch". Never touched it again.
August 6, 20232 yr Not worth the money if you ask me. There are issues with the engine panel backlit not working, flies on rails, overall quality its mediocre at best.

August 6, 20232 yr @Skyseek I made several videos on this aircraft. To be fair, the performance in several categories is reasonable/good. I used the PC12 POH when producing the videos.

I really like it and I'll most likely get the SWS version as well. Jase Jaseman. Lovin it up here........ Catch us over at MassieSim32 -> https://discord.gg/B4buuHGhcr

The Carenado PC-12 is visually stunning, but it does have a bland fly on rails feel to it, meanwhile short runway approaches will still get your adrenaline pumping and pose a real challenge! The Black Square TMB 850 on the other hand has the visuals and realistic aerodynamics to make you "pucker your keister" on short runway approaches. While they are two different planes, they both serve similar purposes, Brute powered STOL capability. The 850 just feels more of a realistic visceral beast when that engine get's to breathing! As for the SimWorks PC-12... no idea the Carenado visuals are just superb and make it hard to consider another later PC-12 purchase, even though I could assume SimWork's version handles much more realistically. While being a visual flight sim enthusiast more than study level avionics/aerodynamics...The Carenado version through all of it's updates scratches the PC-12 itch for me!
