HSI needles going haywire, bouncing all over the place.

 

 

I don’t have the aircraft yet but with the PC12 I think both the pilot and co pilot HSI have to be in the same mode for the bars to stay in place. Don’t quote me on it but that’s what I recall 

I'm jump on 5 blade version. I'm the second flight and everything is butter. I'm suing default GPS + Sky4sim tablet. There are few small bugs but other than that i really love it.

So far bugs I found:

1) Rudder trim using throttle click spot

2) Total fuel shows 100+ less LBS than in MSFS loading screen

3) No dedicated table view  

P.S. I did have directional controls issues during take off on4 bladed version

I don't think this is a thing. According to manual you select which HSI is primary for pilot or copilot.

Had my Credit card ready but I guess I will give it some more time....

I'm pretty sure SWS will polish bugs promptly. As for me is the best purchase after reborn FSR500. SWS PC-12 depth and potential is not even comparable with "Mickey Mouse Club Hose from Carenado" 🙂

I am going to buy it now also, there is just something about it what makes it really special.

The combination of old and modern instruments, a overhead panel but single prop.

Resistance is futile.................

Anyone else experiencing a noticeable “Wing Wag” when climbing or descending?  Stays almost still when flying level but during climbs it borders on ridiculous.

Anyone else?

Not me. Rock solid. Note I have only TDS NXI and default GPS install. I'm using default GPS at the moment. But back when I had PMS GPS I have all kind of conflicts and problems. So at the moment I uninstalled it

I'm sort of on the fence about getting another turboprop but was thinking this might be cool for some EMS flights.

Would someone who has already flown the beast be kind enough to post a few specs here? I can look at RW manuals but I'd like to know what it does in-sim.

Service ceiling: Actually 20,000 ft.? Max cruise (no warnings) at say, 15,000 ft.: Indicated and ground speed.

I've seen a lot of the initial comments with issues but if the flight model is as well-tuned as the Kodiak (or will be), I'm tempted.

Plenty of bugs BUT she hand flies beautifully!

Thx. TDS for me.  Will take another spin and see if t replicates or was a fluke. Thanks again,

Service ceiling is at 30000 ft. Not sure where your got 20k figure

I read problem with TDS so I don't use it at the moment. I would suggest default GPS until those bugs get fixed!

Thanks. The 20k was from a review (clearly not a good one).

In addition to the bugs noted so far, my experience was the elevator and elevator trim forces are lacking authority. I changed my sensitivities significantly which helped somewhat but the elevator trim seems very slow / underpowered to react. I'd be holding my thumb on trim for 5 seconds, sometimes more, just for a small trim effect. When more major trim changes needed (eg. flaps), it was so slow and minor that I doubted it was even trimming (it was). This should be easy to adjust but some of these fairly basic flight control characteristics not being tended to before release is pretty disappointing for all the hype generated. I'm still confident they will fix however.

D-GEIL would not fit as a registration for the PC-12

Its (or it was) a Piper Seneca IIRC.
