A short trek from O85 (outside of Redding, CA) to Eureka, CA KEKA. I planned a higher cruise but clouds enroute kept me at 12,500. It became gloomy approaching EKA with raindrops falling on my wings on final.

Hello fellow PC12 flyers, can anyone of you set the 10s on the ADF frequency? I can only set the first two and the last digit, not the second to last. Regards, Dimitrios

Thanks to Bert and his tireless efforts to make our Carenado birds more realistic to fly! I'll be installing his mods today and taking my shiny new PC-12 out for a real flight (these pics just showing the paintjob I'll be flying...yes...its 851BT....not to be confused with 851TB) 😁 Lifting off from Tampa's 01R on a circuit to dry the paint.

One can never have too many toys! Another stunning paint by Josh with metallic flake.

This is a stunning livery. So I'm showing it off here now that I've fixed my screenshots.

Finally I can share my thoughts... The initial release of this addon was not pretty. I had low fps after a short while, an electrical system that completely died, a semi frozen CDI needle paired with the GTN (and no lpv glidepath), and low power on initial departure (and or low ASI reading). It was a hangar queen for the last two months. I'm happy to report that Carenado has recently released a patch, version 1.1, that has fixed these issues for me. It did take a while (we know the marketplace is fairly slow so it's not completely Carenado this time). I am finally able to enjoy this aircraft. And I do recommend it! It's fast, all weather capable including Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI), pressurized, has onboard radar, and supports the TDS GTN 750Xi and the PMS GTN 750. It will run the early access WT GNS530/430 combo but I would not call the two compatible at the moment. I was experiencing partially inop AP functions such as vertical guidance during an RNAV approach to lpv mins and non functional altitude selector. This is to be expected as the PC12 patch just came out and so did the WT GNS. Flying the PC12 by hand is enjoyable, it's a smooth and stable, yet nimble airframe. Takeoff or landing with short runways is a simple task. It does appear to hit performance numbers (google a manual for the PC12/47) in cruise with a top speed of around 270 ktas. Down low you can easily do 200 KIAS with a psi around 36.0 (typical cruise setting). Stall speed in the flaps down config (dirty) is a measly 67 kias with max gross weight. (Just fast enough to hurt yourself). Sounds are pleasing to the ear - I don't think they modeled accurate beta range but you will hear the sound once bringing the throttle to reverse detent. Now is the time to take your PC12 out of the hangar and enjoy flying with it (don't forget your update via the Content Manager). Here's some various screenshots that I hope you enjoy!

Saturday is a pleasant and easy walk in the sky and in the mountains. Kathmandu-Lukla and back to Kathmandu. New Lukla is a new interest in this wonderful region. Many small STOL airfields are still waiting for our flight. 🙂
