November 7, 20241 yr I was just posting in the Majestic Dash 8 thread when I realised that I haven't a single engine turbo prop. Who can give me a recommendation for this type of AC? Thank you

November 7, 20241 yr FS Reborn 500 is a real beauty and well backed up by its developer - and is OK for 2024,
November 8, 20241 yr My vote is for the C208, because I don't have the other one. There's also the Kodiak from Lionheart, but it's the same version used in FS9, so disregard it (although their support is good). 10 hours ago, jaytee73 said: FS Reborn 500 is a real beauty This is the P3D forum.

November 8, 20241 yr Author Thank you all for the recommendations. I will compare them and make my choice next week. One more question. Do they all work well in v5.4? That's the main version I use. But I also have v4 and v6.
November 8, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Rein2 said: Do they all work well in v5.4? Yes, I have the PC-6, DHC3T, PC-12, C208 and they all run well in P3D5.4 and P3D5.3. P.S. The DHC3T is pretty difficult to fly because of the engine failures, they programmed. So if you want to fly without hassle, take the others. So for free, you can go straight forward to the PC-6.

November 13, 20241 yr Iris Sims has their ESP versions of T-6 II and PC-21 available for free. My favorite fast GA addon for P3D is the A2A Civilian Mustang. 😎
