Flew this plane for 5 years and have over 3000 hours on it. There is a lot to like about it, however the behavior on the take off roll and landing need some serious work. The airplane does not try to run off the runway on take off or landing in real life. The aileron rudder interconnect is something that is barely, if even, noticeable when flying, Im not sure if that has been over modelled and its causing the ground problems potentially. That said overall it flies nicely and looks good, hopefully the ground stuff and transition to and from flight gets ironed out.

1. EADI Heading scale is incorrect, should remain on horizon line not pitch up and down following airplane symbol. 2. EIS digital fuel display not showing accurate fuel amount loaded 3. Torque too low at sea level with inertial separator open 4. EFIS control panel has limited functionality 5. Autopilot IAS hold does not function properly 6. Excessive pitch down at flaps 30 and 40 7. AOA indicator does not indicate properly

In my opinion if you are wanting to hand fly for IFR practice the Flight1 Pilatus is better using the 2d cockpit. Neither autopilot or flight director works properly in certain modes. The EIS on the Flight1 model is more accurate in terms of digital fuel readout as the carenado version doesnt seem to reflect the fuel load correctly. Carenado did a nice job on the exterior model and cockpit visuals for the most part.

Over 1000 hours in the real airplane, It looks nice but has some flaws. The EADI is not accurate in that the heading tape is not pinned to the airplane symbol as it is in the sim. In real life it remains on the horizon line, the AOA indication in real life is far more dynamic than in the sim although it is nice that the effort was made to include it. When doing a take off with the separator open the torque should be higher than 36.9, closer to a min of 42.1 at sea level, separator closed take off torque is pretty accurate. Most other systems are quite basic, not truly representing the actual functions of the plane (ex: EFIS control panel, composite mode switch, etc.). It is a very nice model though and fun to play around with. Maybe the EADI will be fixed some day. Overall for those wanting an introduction to Pilatus, its a nice product.

looks great been looking forward to a us airways paint

Could anyone do US Airways?

great job, would you consider the widget livery?

Eastern Airlines All Metal + White + Delta Widget

2nd vote for delta widdget

Great Paints, any chance of the 600 / 900 in the current white and blue colors?Thanks for the great work!

Thanks, I was hoping the whole package could be found including panel and sounds.

Will the Project Fokker F100 be returned to the library? I would like to download it as it was lost recently off the hard drive.Thanks
