  1. I'm just happy that they keep making planes of ground-breaking quality. The only thing that tempts my wallet these days is a step jump in fidelity: like the A2A Spit, or the PMDG 737NG. But even these, awesome achievements they may be, don't match the DCS A-10c, either in graphics or system modelling, I guess because of the limitations in FSX. Transcending the limitations of FSX is where the gold is; like the recently released Shade for example. Cheers, Noel.
    +1 The DCS A-10C Is the most incredible immersive flight sim I've ever experienced,And they're not done.

  2. The phase inspections and general maintenance tend to be more time consuming and therefore cost more to do. You quickly approach $1,000/hr when you move up to the King Air 90 and if it's a 200 it will be over $1,000/hr. You can operate the Royal Turbine for very close the same costs as a TBM700/850. While they are a fair comparison of seating, speed, fuel burn, type of trip (mission profile), the person thinking of spending 3 mil on a TBM usually won't be in the market for a modified piston to turboprop twin and vice versa a person considering buying the 25-35 year old Duke and modifying it with the Turbine upgrade is in an entire different market.
    As I'm flying my Turbine Duke in The Great Pacific NorthWest Tonight in my Virtual World,I'm going to remind my wife all the money I'm saving her!!!! lolBig%20Grin.gif
