Hi All,

 

Was thinking about adding this aircraft to my hangar. Anyone out there using it that can give some quick comments on it?

Yes.

 

Graphics sub par, systems are up to par with anything.

I still immensely enjoy it and the sound is just astonishing.

 

I have modified the Main Panel bitmap to make some more viewing room

and it is still my preferred turboprop.

 

Having said that, if form is more important then function, don't get it.

If you really enjoy systems, do get it.

It is a rewarding plane once mastered.

 

cheers

 

Tom.

I like a nice balance of form and function, but do lean more towards the function...

 

How well does the FMC work?

The FMC is reasonably well simulated although it is not as good as the real thing.

It does holds though, and the Navdata can be updated through Navigraph.

For normal airline flying it is really all you need.

Comparable to most other FMC's out there for sure.
