Gulf76

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.

Me too! Day One upgrade for sure. So great to see this and the BS Caravan releasing only 10 days apart!

It has passenger seating, but no visible passengers. He may not have added them to the load out.

This isn’t a bundling of two separate planes like the Bonanza/Baron combo. It’s one plane. The bundle is just for an additional variant so no there is not a discount for the bundle already built in. Most people would not spend $48 twice for the same plane just to get another variant. Although many in the flight sim community have been conditioned to do this by PMDG. Before any discounts you’re paying $17 for a different load out. After discounts, you’re paying $20 for the additional variant. So the policy is flawed. At a minimum it should have just been a flat dollar discount. The price of the other variant should not have increased. I’ll just fly the amphibian version when I want to haul passengers. Easy math $38 versus spending $58. But for those who feel compelled to get the bundle, go for it. I own every Black Square product and have lots of Just Flight products as well so I am a huge supporter of both companies. My comments are solely focused on the discount, nothing more.

Anytime a discount policy motivates your customers to spend less, it’s flawed.

This discounting makes zero sense. You save $6.50 if you buy the bundle and $9.60 if you buy a single variant. It should have been the other way around! I was planning to buy the bundle but I think I will skip it and just grab the Cargo/Amphibian variant.

This one really hasn’t been on my list since I have the Starship and love it, but for $25 I’m buying it. Sounds like an excellent plane with phenomenal value!
