If I ever won a billion dollars, PC-12 would be my plane
Will that mean youâll go back and update the Kodiak and things with your break throughs aswell
In your original 2022 road map it was mentioned, I think, that you were loosely aiming for a mid year launch.
Obviously, road maps are only a rough guide but I was wondering if a release is still on the cards for this year or whether we should realistically be looking at 2023 for this?
I am quite happy, by the way, to wait as long as it takes for you to get it to the stage you are happy with. Quality is more important to me than an earlier launch date
If it werenât for a bunch of RL issues we would have it out already. A lot of things went sideways.
Regarding the Kodiak and porting things over: some of it is already in the Kodiak, as it is v1.0 of the tech. Putting it all in the Kodiak is a question mark. We donât know is the honest answer.
Thank you for the reply.
No pressure. Please just concentrate on producing a good product which is I believe your main objective.
Anyway, Iâm very much looking forward to your Kodiak float which I believe will soon be with us and at a great price too
So awesome that you guys respond in these forums. Canât wait for the PC-12!
Hello, has there been any progress since then?
I think the latest guidelines are that it will now be released next year sometime, not sure when though.
Aiming for Q1. Something has happened and its worth the delay. You will know soon.
No problem
Thank you for the update
Canât wait to have a non-Garmin Avionics. I reallye love Garmin, but it is boring to have it in all planes.
The modern Honeywell Epic in your Pilatus will be a day one purchase for me.
Use the search or read through this thread. You will find that the Primus Is not coming until much later. What we are getting early next year is an earlier model variant.
I know, I can wait.
From their Facebook Page:
I honestly canât wait. The Carenado PC-12 is just a big bag of âmehâ.
Great news if weâre receiving an air ambulance version, itâs something a lot of people have been looking forward to.
Any news from SWS for this beauty?
They posted something on Facebook that works were going quite slow, probably wonât come out until the last part of the year really, as my personal guess.
This weeks discord update. I personally think the first one is getting close now. Hopefully itâs in Q2.
On the PC-12 front, we wanted to be able to preview the PC-12 right now but, again, we are adding some new details and corrections that we found. In addition to a power outage that threw our texture artist out for the past 24h, we are stuck. We apologize for the delay and building up the hype, but we donât want it to be just a âgood previewâ but something mind-blowing! The PC-12/47 cockpit will be previewed when it is fully textured and ready, in the simulator, and it wonât be long!
Many have been asking us about the cockpit layout of the PC-12. We are planning for two setups. Both planes will share the KMD540 weather RADAR, GTN330 transponder and GMA340 Audio panel. For navigation, two options will be available. The first option is the beloved GNS530/430 combo. The second layout will feature an either a GTN750 & 650 or dual GTN750 cockpit setup -we are still undecided, but that is easy to implement once we get the other items finalized.
On the systems front, we now have an initial, working version of the aileron-rudder interconnect system and are fine-tuning quirks of the flight model with the help of our testers. An annoying limitation is that we were unable to simulate the aggressive nose-down attitude of the aircraft with full flaps extended. MSFSâ flight model does not support this, even though it was possible in FSX! We have reported this to Asobo and hope it will be addressed in one of the next sim updates, as that is a very interesting feature of the real aircraft. Until this is addressed by Asobo, we will release the aircraft with correct flap lift & drag, but the approach AoA will not be the same as in the real aircraft.
End of year would be a major failure given that we are 3 months late already. We canât put out a plane until it is just right and the PC-12 is another Kodiak: it takes morr time than anticipated to get right. Add random problems like health, equipment failures and other nuissances and late days can stack up.
Non-fun example: my (new) GPU sometimes resets for reasons unknown, multiple times. Three resets this past Friday cost me half the day troubleshooting and refocusing. Developing a plane isnât only the plane itself, but a lot of other small things to that can sometimes slow things down a lot.
And make no mistake that we are all very annoyed by this too, more than you. Also, the PC-12 will pleasantly surprise you.
Edit: 100th post!
What a great way to enter a 100th post
Me on 101â:rofl:
Absolutely looking forward to it mate, Iâve only got basic understanding with trying to do very basic airport updates in the sdk with freezes and the like and could not begin to imagine developing a whole planeâŠ
Came so close to buying the âotherâ pc12 but with these last two postsâŠ
I am going to just sit and wait⊠like they say in the trade industry⊠measure once cut twi⊠I mean measure twice, cut onceâ:rofl:
Hope you slip in a sounds air livery
