Carenado PC-12

I’m having serious performance issues with the aircraft. PMDG 737-700 behaves much better - with PC-12 my system seriously struggles. Am I doing something wrong?

No, almost everyone has performance issues with it


Anyone else having trouble getting to cruise? ive had this thing pinned for over an hour, NG 100%, ITT in the yellow, at 29k, i actually have tail wind and cant even get past 260 (listed cruise is 285), and i highly doubt you would fly with the throttle at 100%!! Also, using IAS (200kt) it was climbing at 500ftpm.

also where is true airspeed? the speed on the HSI in GS

Cruise speed is going to depend on your altitude. What altitude are you at?

29000 feet

Is your inertial separator closed? (although that shouldn’t be the issue, I find this bird pretty quirky performance wise)

Doesnt it stop stuff going in the engine, i thought it should be open?

Only below 5000’ agl

The separator diverts air intake away from the engine, so it will reduce it’s power.

Thanks mate - let’s hope they fix it

ah ok, right, i do know to turn it on/off for landing etc, but logically just thought youd want it open to let the air into engine. i just turned it off, and got a little faster, cheers, although now came up with error light saying AV bus, and anotherr saying essential bus??

Hi,
Am I the only one with bad perf after 45/60 min flight?
thx

The performance is really poor. On takeoff the fps are fine and then after a while they constantly degrade until it is almost unflyable. At least on my system. I never had a similar issue before. And as soon as I turn off the batteries the fps are back to normal. So there is definitely something wrong.

I’ve been looking forward to this, but I think I’m gonna wait for a patch release. :wink:

Yeh mine did drop down to 20 fps for a bit but back to 35 now (although i do have a 3090, so should be higher in the cruise), up further someone suggested turning off the Avidyne screen

WTH! i just went back to 50 fps, by turning it off

Airpseedindicator is bugged. Shows around 10% less. So you always are around 10% faster than you think.

Just registered a GS of 295kts @ 20,000’ with a slight tailwind, flying from KLXV to KTEX, keeping ITT at 780. So at least she’s fast enough.

Well after turning off inertial sep. mine had 30 on the tail and still only made 275, all the avionics kept shutting down, and AP kept tryna pitch up while i was decending, then there was a constant beeping for the last 10nm… absolute ■■■■ show haha

So this is a Carenado standard? Stunning model, textures and VC but with average systems and flight model?
