July 25Jul 25 I had almost forgotten that Commander Premier Aircraft Corporation was based at my home airport from 2005-2011. That was a company formed by the owners to provide parts and service for the Commanders. Pretty cool that we're getting a hi-fi version for a modern sim now.

July 25Jul 25 I wasn’t interested in this addon until Nick demoed its aerobatics capability!!!And then I realized that I’ve NEVER flown aerobatics in a GA aircraft…?😮😮😮So I said, well, that’s easy stuff - hold my beer! 😎And THEN I realized that “roll rate” is a very hazy concept for most GA addons 😂22 hours ago, sd_flyer said:So, yeah - I might need to add this one just for the giggles…And trailing link gear 😁
Sunday at 11:38 AM5 days So what are people going to fly first, the purist normally aspirated, or the punchy turbo? 😎If I follow my usual approach taken with the Bonanza and Baron packs, it'll be N/A first for a few flights, so that I then get a buzz from the contrasting increase in punch that the turbo delivers!

While I fly all over the place these days, my preference is still for the US/Canadian mountain west, just as it was IRL when I was flying. Turbocharging is the way to go if you fly into a lot of high and hot places.As for that punch - keep in mind that like the BS Bonanza (but unlike the BS turbocharged Baron) this is a turbo-normalized installation. Sea level performance will be the same as the non-modified, normally aspirated plane. High and hot is where the fun begins. 😃The real question for me is which avionics package will I fly first. Will I load up my usual 750/650 combo or go old school with that funky RNAV system? With this plane, I'm definitely leaning old school.Scott

It just keeps sea-level power (around 29.9 inches) all the way up to its critical altitude, instead of gradually losing it as you climb.

So much less stress on the engine by not exceeding 31 inches MP. For me, turbo-charged aircrafts have always been about superb climb performance, all the way up. 😎 Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode', enjoying : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square Commander 114, Bonanzas, Barons, C208B, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000 and Sting S4 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-10, RV-14 Currently flying IRL: Pipersport SportCruiser, Aeroprakt A32 Vixxen, Bristell Classic, Evektor SportStar, Rans S6TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000Former PPL IR, grounded by diabetes.
