There's just no comparison. The TBM flies like a dream. This PC-12 for me (after the update) feels like the problem has been improved by around 10% tops. As someone else said, in my opinion, "it still flies like a pig", and with the exceptionally heavy feeling flight controls and slow, delayed responses on all flight controls, it feels more like flying a 747-8. I'm out and I will never buy another SWS product again, due to the comment from them in the screenie above. It's one thing to have problems. But to deny those problems... all is lost. Over and above small piston singles, SWS just cannot configure a reasonable flight model. Period. Dismissing the issues as being down to the complexities of flying the real PC-12 straight, level and in turns is just Grade A 'BS' or a head deeply buried in the sand. SWS guy 1: "Darn it, we just cannot get this right, any idea what else to tweak in the CFGs?" SWS guy 2: "Not a clue" SWS guy 1: "Ok, we'll just swear blind it's meant to fly this way. We'll blind them with pseudo-science"

I'm so with you on the new G3X appearing in more planes that use the old version soon! Apart from the RV-10 and -14, also the Orbx Blackwing and Airfoillabs Bristell and others. Cannot fly them with the old G3X in anymore, having tasted how much better the new version is.

Apologies, my bad.

Oops! 😄 ...but you didn't fancy adding the correct thread? 😉 Now corrected.

Already a thread:-

Yes.

This is what I'm most looking forward to. Not interested in the added PG for the area but a nice, custom Friedrichshafen.. yes please.

Hahah, I had completely forgotten about that.. what a blast from the past 😆

That thing looks like a narwhal wearing floatation aids.... in an entirely GOOD way 😁

He's making something out of nothing whatsoever - for clicks - as always. Talk about a tenuous link, for Jorg's comments constituting a release date. Just IMO. Not a credible source of info.

When I'm looking for UK airfileds, I'll look for Pilot Plus, Orbx and others. Burning Blue will be at the end of the preference list. And yes, when they're not on sale, the BB airfields are really expensive for what they are. Bought some recently at their maxxed out £14.81 price... and there really isn't a lot there. A couple of unimpressively modelled/textured buildings and some clutter. That's about it. I've given up with them now. IIRC, BBD were originally the UK-based (Hampshire) arm of Orbx in the late 2000s/2010s, that then went independent as "Sim 720" and are now BBD. I was never impressed with the Orbx products that were made by the UK group. Always compared weakly against the main Orbx devs.

They're leaving that bombshell til last! 😄

Ah, makes more sense. So an advanced review copy rather than early access.

AFAIK, it's only some of the default models where the doors can be 'modded' to open (The C152, C172 and TBM). I believe this is because Asobo did model the doors as separate parts, but just didn't do the animation code (for some odd reason). I don't think the models for any of the default airliners can be modded so that the doors can be opened. Could be wrong.

I absolutely love UK2000's new EGNC ..... I'd wanted a payware version of that airport in the sim for years, for lovely, short, local test flights to/from Newcastle. I hear what you're saying about the aviation museum though. It's not fab but I don't look at it too often. And yes the Eddit Stobart trucks 🙂 Still the main buildings and ground area is great I think, for the price. (I don't have high standards for airports - in fact I'd prefer more bundles of 'lite' airports, at a reduced price). I find the terrain is a mess on quite a few of the included handcrafted airports, undulating all over the place, as someone said like a rollercoaster. In my (usually unpopular) opinion, I find the Burning Blue Designs airfields greatly overrated, with dull, low res textures and signage on the buildings. They have tons of detail, but most look like they're from FS9.
