Yup ,the Turbocharger model appears to work for me. I have no real life experience of flying a turbocharged airplane but armed with the real POH I started a cruise climb at 500 fpm to a Pressure Altitude of 24000ft / Density Altitude 26000 at the book figure 2500 RPM Manifold 27.5. Power started to drop off at about 18/19000ft but under these conditions could be increased to the required setting all the way up and into the cruise. Some leaning of the mixture is possible at higher levels. 100 miles to do the climb and 167kts cruise at the end.....half fuel and no load I look at Carenado in a new light.

It flies beautifully, with fuel and oxygen consumption at appropriate rates, and realistic icing behaviour. The sound effects are among the finest I have heard, rivalling the premium audio packages available for the TBM850. I was unsure about the type of turbocharger installed on the C206, as adjusting the mixture had little to no effect while crossing the North Atlantic. Yes it will probably go the same way as others (into the hanger ) but I look on that like an Airplane Museum The enjoyment is in pulling out an airplane when you fancy. Currently reading a real POH from the internet for more insights into the Turbo operation.

That's where they go. Unless on approach or deliberately slow flying you just leave the throttle maxed out like that and control power with the prop. The electronics do the rest. Don't forget the preflight automatic check that takes its time but when the lights go out , you're fit to fly. (The check is done when all the oils are in the green , throttle open and 1700-1800 rpm)

I've not seen weeping fluid over the edges but the TKS system is modelled with appropriate warnings being flagged for mis use while detailed fluid levels etc show on the Engine Screen. To be honest I'm enjoying this as much as the earlier version even though it's a very gentle flyer. I believe that IRL they have started using one from the Beach at Barra.

I enjoyed this in 2020, so the small update fee was a no-brainer. Navigraph works well for me. If you want to use Career Mode, wait for it to appear in the Marketplace, but be prepared to pay the full price.

Oh yes it will ground loop if you're not careful and smack into a Glider Transporter where the propeller comes apart and the engine explodes. Just another Easter Egg from Got Friends.

Not my experience based on his own website. I ended up getting a PayPal Refund following a period of pay your money and get nothing.

Everything is fine now and running as it should ( originally a JF Purchase ) Thanks for the info though.

If you purchase this software, be sure to review the installation program to ensure it installs to the correct location. In my experience, it took a couple of attempts, and even now, some textures for the free paint jobs are missing. Perhaps I expected too much from a sound pack, but Boris's efforts have never disappointed.

As a 21 year old I went flying in a BOAC 707 sitting in the jump seat while various Captains went through stalling exercises. Although we lost altitude the whole thing was quite benign less exciting than my Cessna 150. This seems to be modelled as I remember it. These were Captains of Pratt and Whitney 707s converting to the Rolls Royce version and boy what a hash they made of the landings on Prestwick's runway 13. Clearly a change of engine made a big difference to handling.

I couldn't instal using an earlier version of the FSW app and the latest version of the App shows "processing" but freezes.

There must be a secret to cold starting this thing that I haven't found yet. Not seeing fuel flow when engaging the fuel pump but the EFB shows fuel in the cylinders and the fuel selector is not in the cut off position. Right now spawning on a runway seems my only option.... frustrating but I love it. Later: After several restarts I managed to see some fuel flow and got the engine started after a prolonged push on the starter but my throttle control inverted. No more time left to play with this today but it seems buggier than most BS releases.

One quick circuit in the standard 114 and hand flying feels so right. This must be in my top 10 aircraft even though I'm no fan of old electronics. Now to sort out my hardware ; getting the autopilot to work should be fun.

I had planned to buy this on release but the price point for an untested developer seems ambitious. ( For me about £10 too ambitious ) So for me , it's wait and see what others think in the MSFS Forums. Meanwhile , have we not got Blacksquare to look forward to?

I think you are correct. Just tried a short EGCC-GP flight and the needle didn't move however much I deviated from track. The alternative gauge works OK
