Why did they decide to update this one when there is the Milvitz/Blackbird version? How are they different?

I was hoping there would be an AAU for 208B, G36, A5 and DA62!

Yes the Grand Caravan would have been preferred.

Completely different vendors. They can only update 1st party products, not other peoples.

Yes I’m aware. My point is there was already an decent PC Porter in the sim, so they could have chosen another aircraft that needed better representation to update such as the Grand Caravan or King Air.

AFAIK all those are being improved for the 2024, not sure if they will port back the improvements for the 2020.

Also, I think the Pilatus is from a 3rd party (I think Hans made it) like the A320 and the A310. So I’m not sure those improvements were made in-house.

Well hope the changes are what’s in 2024 and not having to astart over with cookie cutter look a likes

I haven’t flown it yet. But I am loaded into it. Here’s what I see so far.
1 they finally after 3 years fixed the mapping of the condition lever.
2 breakers are now clickable
3 the garmin looks updated, I guess that’s the main feature in an AAU
4 The Doors DO Not Open!

In the content manager was no Pilatus PC-6 for an update. Only the two Airbus. :thinking:

So should the default airplanes, which are a persons first experience, be neglected? come on…

There is a reason for the inibuilds a320neo, these avionics updates, etc

The two Airbus updates were for the Enhancement addons that were available when they were first released.

You may not have it installed, so it wouldn’t download an update for it.

I have the PC-6 installed… :slightly_smiling_face: But I think it was an update for this aircraft.

Several glaring bugs were not fixed.

The transponder is inoperable in the GNS versions of started C&D.

The warning indicators for starter, ignition, fuel booster pump, generator, etc. are still non-op.

The ADF breaker is miswired to the Transponder breaker.

I gave up after that.

One of those bugs had been written up by me approaching two years ago and the others quite a while ago.

I don’t understand. How could these be missed both via a bug report and/or when testing your work after doing bug fixes?

I had all three.

I tried updatedmspc-6 and run to BBpc-6 instantly… That’s why I’m going standard 2024, Im afraid it is going to be like this in the future. Not worth to invest in PD planes, they cut corners everywhere. :thinking:
