You better believe MS got full permission for using these licensed aircraft.
It’s just such an important aircraft in the business world, far more important than 90% of the available default aircraft. It’s just been an absolute stinker through 2020 and even worse into 2024. There’s 100 Longitudes out there and over 4300 ‘super’ King Airs(~8000 for the entire series).
Licensing does not mean that something is somehow reviewed by the brand owner.
Licensing is per definition just a formal permission to do something with protected material. The aircraft design must not be part of that.
Take the FlightFX HJet as an example - as they did not license the brand and type because Honda is extremely restrictive when it comes down to use this. Still were able to make the aircraft basically exactly like the Honda Jet from reference material, POH and on site visits of real aircraft. However they are not allowed to use the associated brand/make and thus released it as the HJet instead.
Another example is the beloved Bredok3d Boeing 737 Max - obviously he has a license agreement with Boeing as otherwise he would not have been able to release the aircraft as is including the branding on the marketplace.
There is no doubt about that and as mentioned it seems that the King Air 350i is still work in progress, so nothing wrong with that in first place. It would be a different story if it was “just” a bad port without any work done. Let them cook.
By that logic it would be called an Asobo Air King Tree-Fifty Eye in the hangar with a swooshy A on the tail.
How to I turn on engine gauges? This is torturing me.
You can’t. We’ve discussed this a few comments above and there are no gauges. And without gauges there’s no realistic way to fly this aircraft unless you pretend you’re playing Ace Combat 7.
Already one of the worst official plane modules back in 2020, and now with zero improvement and a lot more bugs…
Thanks Bruh. I have gone over to the King Air C90 GTX. Everything works on that plane.
Nice, I didn’t know that C90 was part of 2024. I gave it a try and it seemed like a better version of the broken 350i.
Eventually I switched it off too after I heard how it sounds in both internal and external views, even after opening the window: something between a $10 drone and a goliath mosquito.
The C90 is quite a decent plane, only big flaw I found is that cruise speed is 20% too low and fuel burn 50% too high compared to the real aircraft, so you won’t get far with it. Otherwise the visual model is amazing.
RELEASE NOTES 1.2.7.0
but, OK! at least we have engine parameters now! hahahahahha
good flights, captains!
Yeah, EGT though? On a Kingair? And only 135 degrees with engines running? Makes absolutely no sense. Should be Interstage Turbine Temperature (ITT) on PT-6 engines and much higher idle temperature… 
Primary instrument is torque (on top), followed by ITT (below), then propeller RPM and a small readout for N1% as this is not a relevant instrument during normal operation. N1 is important for engine start and engine failure.
Of course the whole avionic suite is wrong, should be Rockwell Colins Proline 21 or Fusion…
Proline Fusion:
Proline 21:
EGT instead of ITT, running at 135C at idle, primary instrument (torque) at the bottom, read out for N1 but not for propeller RPM. This thing is still a lemon…
A separate IFR GPS would be needed.
The glass shader on most of the windows AND the avionics is utter trash, especially in VR, I can barely see anything 
Agree- milky white windows!
