[MSFS2024] Beechcraft C90 GTX King Air

For me the L and R green down lock lights are only visible from a certain angle:

Little further back:

Same for TCAS, PROP SYNCH green lights.

Engines don’t start without BOOST PUMPS ON, this is incorrect behavior. You can dispatch and fly around for 100 hrs without working boost pump before engine driven pump needs to be overhauled.

AUTOFEATHER lights shouldn’t be ON at idle power:

PITOT HEAT lights should be ON when PITOT HEAT in OFF position (so now working in reverse):

The real aircraft has no chime for master caution or warning. Also, on the real aircraft the MASTER CAUTION or WARNING won’t reset until pressed. So even if the fault triggering it is solved, the MASTER CAUTIION / WARNING will keep flashing until pressed on the real aircraft.

The imaginary chock thing is an issue.

Starts taxiing upon releasing the parking brake, this is accurate.

Full throttle should cause Torque (and ITT if hot / high) to go over redline. The Kingair has no torque / temperature limiter.

The aircraft should have quite strong torque effect during the initial part of the take-off run, requiring a lot of rudder to stay on centerline. I don’t see this modeled.

Autopilot isn’t doing a great job following the FD pitch bar after take-off, also during approach, not following the glideslope…

Quite slow, only 180 kts at 6000 ft? The real one goes much faster.

I see 1485 ft/lbs of torque (not too far off) but fuel flow 520 lbs / engine which is far more than should be. Speed 183 kts is about 40 kts slow. Burning far too much fuel and way too slow, so a lot less range than should be the case.

This is about 50% more fuel flow / hr / eng and about 20% slower.

Should lose speed much more quickly during the flare with props discing.

Otherwise, the Proline is quite well done as far as I remember.

Overall quite ok, the visual model (interior and exterior) is amazing! Hope they can fix the cruise speed / fuel burn, I see that as the biggest flaw.

I wish the 350i was done to the same level.
