Here's my observations of the Carenado PC-12 in regards to third party GPS units and overall performance. For me the plane is much smoother frame-rate wise, whether that has anything to do with SU11, DLSS or Carenado, who knows, it's just a lot smoother for me now. I run in 4K, 60Hz with DLSS set to Quality with everything maxed out (my new computer cost me an arm and a leg). After it was released on the MS marketplace I decided to install the Working Title 530/430 and they work fantastic in the default MSFS aircraft, they also seem to work quite well in the Carenado PC-12 up until you want to use the TDS-GTN 750 XI, then the new Working Title 530/430 starts to cause issues (I'm fairly certain because it doesn't cause issues with the default MSFS GPS units). After selecting the TDS GTN 750XI on the Carenado tablet the unit boots up and I can click only on the first screen that pops up, after that the unit becomes either unresponsive or un-clickable. Another problem exists with the WT 530/430 units when I use the TDS GTN 750XI in pop up mode (using the unit outside of the sim in none gauge mode) When in GPS mode the needle on the EFIS will jump randomly back and fourth almost like it's confused as to what GPS unit is driving it. It doesn't do this in ADF, VLOC or VOR, only in GPS mode. Well that's my two cents.

@Bad_T **THANK YOU** so much for creating that file. I fly in and out of PAJN all the time and those spikes were a complete immersion killer. Many, many thanks, I am truly grateful! 🙂 I have found that REX Weather Force completely removes all the snow from the affected areas in Alaska and elsewhere when the weather forecast doesn't call for it, it's the main reason why I purchased it. Obviously Asobo could care less.

I know this is an older post, however I thought I would let anyone know who is hoping for the return of the proper approach lighting at Juneau's runway 08 that I made a request over on the Flightsim.to project request section. You can add your user name with other folks who would love to see this accomplished by the community of amazing and talented mod makers.

I recently installed the updated version of OrbX's Alaska Mesh after it was updated for SU9, I primarily purchased it because it had one of my favorite airports included, (PAJN) Juneau International. However the airport is completely lacking the 13 degree offset VASI lights and it's "notorious" but *AWESOME* MALSF 13 degree visual lighting path that begins quite some distance from the apex of runway 08. Is there anyone currently working on updating the lighting system at Juneau? Are there any talented mod makers that could create the lighting system similar to what we had in the FSX and P3D version of OrbX's PAJN? I have absolutely no idea what's involved in creating such lighting in FS 2020 and that's why I'm appealing to any talented mod makers out there. Cheers Jocko Flocko

This why I love Avsim and it's community, I can always come here and find out how poorly a product performs or lacks in quality. I've seen on other forums that this aircraft has worse FPS than the PMDG 777. That's absolutely unacceptable for a product that's all shine and no substance.

As always, fantastic work Bill. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this modification, it greatly increases the simulation experience with the Cheyenne IIIA, I especially love the sound modifications, they are fantastic. Cheers, Andrew.

Outstanding Bill, your work is greatly appreciated! Great to hear you're doing something with the Carenado Cheyenne III. Cheers Bill Andrew

Yeah, it also requires an internet connection *EVERY TIME* you load the aircraft and try and start the engine. That's beyond ridiculous "copy protection". 😕 Why a developer would utilize such a method is beyond me, only the real customers get hurt in the long run.

I did a search for peoples opinions regarding this release and I couldn't find much of anything here on Avsim. The aircraft was released back in mid January of this year. ATSimulations Broussard Website I'm looking for some opinions regarding this aircraft, Specifically how it performs frame-rate wise in P3D 4.4, what the flight model is like and any other input folks might have regarding this excellent looking aircraft. This type of plane is the kind I love to fly in P3D, however I hate purchasing anything these days without the valued opinion from the Avsim Community. You guys/gals have always been bang on the mark in terms of what to expect when purchasing payware products over the years. Any input by current owners would really be appreciated! Cheers Andrew

Awesome, excellent work as always Bill. Thank you so much for fixing what should have been fixed by Carenado as well as bringing more realism to this aircraft, your work is greatly appreciated! Cheers! 🙂

@Clutch Cargo All of Carenado's float planes work fine in P3D 4.4. Very few of the older models like the C185 Bush have working switch sounds but that can be fixed easily by downloading switch sound packs in the Avsim library that use Doug Dawson's excellent 64bit XML sound gauge.

Does the old Lionheart Kodiak still work ok in P3D 4.4? I love that plane and never knew it had been updated...

@ShezA Question? I don't believe I asked a question bro, I just gave thanks to folks in this thread for their input regarding this aircraft. 😉

@simbol No over-clocking of the GPU was ever in use, I simply used Precision X OC for fan control, temperature monitoring and customizing the RGB lights on the card. Temperatures on the card have never gone any higher than 63C in full boost mode. I never saw a need to over-clock the GTX 1080Ti FTW as it boosts out of the box between 1860 to 2000 and running in 1080p native resolution with 4X SSAA the card never boosts at all in P3D 4.4 as I use a locked frame-rate of 30. May I ask what type of multiple monitor setup you're using and the operating system?

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread in one way or the other. It's helped me to make up my mind in terms of purchasing this awesome aircraft. Can't wait until I get home from work and jump into the VC. Cheers fellas! 🙂
