I believe it was Carenado.

So itâs the same aircraft thatâs available from Carenado on the Marketplace for MSFS 2020?
No, thats the legacy PC-12 with more basic avionics, the NGX has honeywell package (newer planes, better tech, faster engine)

Sometime before takeoff or early in cruise, change the approach to change the transition from VECTORS to a published IAF (for IFR approaches). For VFR, select STRAIGHT instead of vectors. You will then get a XTOD (for top of descent) shown on your flight plan and on your moving map. If you have vectors selected, you will not get a TOD and cannot use VNAV.
Just prior to arriving at the TOD, set your altitude preselector to the FAF (IFR) or STRAIGHT (VFR) altitude and press the VNAV button and the plane will descend automatically.

Forgive my ignorance, but where would I look to find the VFR altitude? Runway charts?
The VFR altitude will show up in your flight plan for the STRAIGHT waypoint. The runway altitude will be shown, as well, in the flight plan. Iâll screenshot it when I am back in the sim later.
Just before reaching the STRAIGHT waypoint, you can change the altitude preselector to the runway elevation and leave VNAV on and the plane will descend towards the runway. Obviously, youâd want to turn off AP prior to landing.
No, the black screen has nothing to do with memory.
The Pilatus has a cabin pressure bug, you canât fly higher than 18000 feet, so if youâre higher than that, you eventually âblack outâ
No word from Asobo on when this stupid bug will be fixed, sadly.
The 1967â value shown to the right of RX14 is the altitude for the STRAIGHT waypoint on this VFR approach. 424â is the elevation for runway 14.

Does the PC-24 have the same issue or is that OK (in respect of pressurisation/O2 that is)?
Hi,
IIRC generally a VFR pattern is 1000AGL for piston and 1500AGL for jets. All my flying is IFR now though.
Can you change the baro units on this? I keep getting MPa over ATC and its in IN on the pfd. Makes landing interesting

Sounds are a bit underwhelming but my biggest gripe is all of the external lights are basically non existent and face in all the wrong directions. Also, they are not proper LEDâs like the real NGXâs have.
Lights donât work, or donât work properly on most aircraft. This is something theyâll have to fix in the simulator in the coming years.

Yup, itâs driving me insane. I wish I was able to mod the default aircraft and make more lighting mods but cant because everything is streamed.
Done a flight yesterday, and the screens were fine at FL400, i have noticed since the plane has been usable the cab pressure is always blank and flashing red, also the cabin pressure switch for climb/descent seems to switch automatically, lacking manual control?!

Oh. Iâve been flying under 20,000 - I thought the PC-12 still had hypoxia issues at higher flight levels.
EDIT: I found out the hard way that you still get hypoxia above 20,000. I was at 22,000.
@Skylord5190 Were you in a PC-24, by chance? Must have been since the service ceiling on the PC-12 is 30,000â.
Yeh, i was replying to a comment, asking if the issues in the PC-12, are also in the PC-24

I just few the PC-24 earlier today or last night and was at FL440 for over an hour without any issues. You do need to turn on the cabin oxygen near the co-pilots left knee. You canât set any of the pressurization details in the MFD and it will flash red for, I think, Cabin Alt just below the field elevation, but it doesnât affect the flight.
I have not tried the PC-12 above FL180. You can always go into the ATC menu and request a cruising altitude decrease by up to 10,000 feet per request and can request it multiple times if needed as a workaround.

Sorry if Iâve caused any confusion.
I should maybe have posted my question in the PC-24 thread. 
Thanks for your answer though, Iâd been flying at sub 12,000ft levels, but can now âspread my wingsâ a bit.

PC-24 pressurization works (although the MFD readouts are blank).
PC-12 pressurization doesnât work. safety limit is FL200. FL210 will kill you unless you descend once the hypoxia warning procs.
