Gulf76

I agree. I avoided flying this plane due to the sounds, but this sound pack elevates the 850 back into my rotation, and near the top for a while. Sure it would have been great if Black Square and Boris would have already completed a sound overhaul, but thank you Echo 19 for filling the void. This pack is excellent and I will not regret my purchase if Black Square releases a sound update in six, twelve, forty-eight months, who knows when!

Black Square BLACK SQUARE DEVELOPER wrote 14 days agolast edited by Boris and I are still trying to find the time for this. Since it's not a new release, I'm trying not to break the bank with Boris' amazing work. However, I know that I want it to happen eventually, because then all my mainline aircraft will have the same treatment. That's the kind of consistency that I feel I must achieve across my fleet. https://community.justflight.com/topic/11161/echo19-tbm850-coming-soon/5

This is just Echo19’s own pack. See post below. Personally, I like Echo19’s sound work, find it on par with Boris, and will be buying this when it’s released. It doesn’t sound like a new set will be coming from BS any time soon.

Absolutely! This plane is outstanding as are all of Azurpoly’s aircraft.k

Same here! None in the EFB or in the PMS GTN 750!

Yes, flew it today! Yeah, he has a great relaxed style while being very informative.

Finally purchased this excellent plane; definitely worthy of all the high praise! But how do I get those cabin interiors posted above? I have tried several liveries now and they all have that dingy blue color.

I wish we had even more options to add accessories to our cockpits. No different than in American or European Truck Simulator, especially for us VR bush flyers.

That wasn’t Got Friends, //42 released the fishing app.

Picked it up the instant it became available! Money very well spent. And it was free in 2020, but Jonx had to put a ton of time in to get it to work in 2024. Got Friends gives a ton back to this hobby both in freebies and in low cost quality products.

I agree whole heartedly!

I own all of Taog’s helis, HPG 145 and 160, Flyinside Bell, etc. I feel like the price is too high. It may be a great release, but unless you have a personal affection for the Dauphin, I just don’t see the appeal of it for that price compared to let’s say the 500C or HPG’s.

Starship - if only could have one MD-11 - airliner DC-6 - vintage Caravan - bush Taog 500C - heli CAS J-3 Cub - light GA BS Bonanza TC - piston GA AS 33 Me - glider C-160 Transall - military cargo BB Zero - piston warbird Jaguar - fighter jet Albatross - sea plane

I own the MK Studios version and think it’s outstanding.

Home ownership is the American dream! Much better than living in a sub 30 sq meter nondescript state owned apartment! 😉

Definitely a hard pass for me! While I don’t mind entering a serial number to activate a product, I refuse to keep a program opened external to the sim just to use a single airport.

I own all of Black Squares’ planes and thoroughly enjoy all of them. The 850 is a great plane for the money and goes on sale frequently. It’s well worth owning, only let down by the sounds. But the Starship is his best plane to date IMHO! Go for it! 😂

He’s also a very kind and generous person. He donated his entire library of present and future products to a friend of mine battling health issues.

Greece, Turkey, and South Korea are the top three places I would love to have too. I also look forward to when they add PG for the Rhine River from Mainz (also Wiesbaden) to Koblenz, Bath in England, new PG for Paris, and the Loire Valley in France along with Avignon, Orange and Arles in an expanded Provence; in the US definitely Utah and finishing Hawaii which was their original intent. I would think they could get the required data for those areas so I didn’t include other countries that might be out of reach such as Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt and Morocco or additional countries in South America such as Peru, Columbia and Chile. The issue with Greece and Turkey, as stated by Jorge, is that the data can’t physically leave the country and must reside on a server within each respective country. He said that is something they’ve considered doing so there is hope. Edit: Also Lyon and Manchester definitely should have PG.

I haven’t seen anything, but I would love an update for Utah to cover the Big 5 National Parks there. Some of the most distinctive landscapes anywhere in the world and they don’t look great in the sim.

Thanks, yes I’m aware. My point was adding too much fuel then increasing torque can cause an ITT spike which can damage the engine. Therefore sequencing is important and something people new to turboprops may be unaware of.

No problems here. I always ensure with turbo props when adding power, to increase propeller RPM first then the throttle. Then at cruise, decrease the throttle first before lowering the propeller RPM. Also, make sure you properly use the Initial Separator on the ground if on an unimproved runway surface, during taxi and during icing. It should be pulled out.

Open the small side window and it gets really loud in the cockpit. 😂 I flew on one in real life in Belize and don’t recall it sounding loud in the cabin.

Has anyone actually gotten their discount code? It’s not in my account under order details/activation as described in the email notification so I submitted a ticket. Edit: Wow Just Flight has fantastic Customer Support! They responded to my ticket within ten minutes.

I understand that view, but I like both planes, bush flying, and having the option of analog or G1000. Plus already owning both in 2020, they are discounted so that helps a bit. Kodiak includes all variants and is cheaper than the Caravan so might be the better option if you only want one. The Kodiak has consistently been rated high by the community since its release over at MSFS Forums Monthly Top Ten Plane thread.
