I only use it's performance table pdf from C90B I got back in FS9 days, it seems just ripped off from realworld manual.

AFL350's FD is also way off, if you set torque according to the cruise table came with AFL (which also came from realworld manual I assume), you'll overspeed.

I think it doesn't make much sense to use the performance tables of an FS aircraft on a newly built aircraft for X-Plane 12. Today I was flying the AFL 350 and it may be a little off but it doesn't seem that bad to me. In my opinion it is a very good airplane and very well made. It is very complete. Yes, I agree that it needs an update but AFL said it is working on it.

Mind that the C90B EVO is equipped with PT6-135A instead of -21s, so you'll get more performance up high. This in turn makes C90B cruise tables not applicable. So if you can, find info or a manual for the C90GT, which has the same engines.

Yeah, right now I got 20lb less FF per engine and about 5KIAS faster while cursing, compare to the C90/A table, not terribly bad, and I can't find another tables laying around on the internet for free, so that's it I guess.

I actually like Carenado  and AFL's package came with table itself, however it doesn't match within like... over 50% of error....

AFL is one of the best turboprops and the C90B EVO is for X-Plane 12. AFL has very good comments and is very faithful to the real thing and that is what they talk about the most in different places. Greetings!!

They also have the worst CS and it can take them years to update a broken Add-ON.

I believe that errors can be found in all airplanes. Firstly because they make airplanes for use in a simulator at home. Also, not everyone has a great development team and it all depends on how the developer behaves with their products. What I see lately in all flight simulators is that there are many airplanes and few updates and support after the launch of the addon.

There hasnt being to many updates lately because most developers are waiting for xp12 to settle. Dont want to chase there tails, Be nice if users actually knew how to submit reports instead of flying off the deep end only to discover it was there set up.

First time I am hearing of this too. May check that out!

A lot is not being communicated here, which is understanble, due to the quality of discussions in recent years around here...

Honestly, LR's discord is really the way to go these days for the most frequent updates & news, as well as some more info from LR developers themselves regarding future plans etc...
