One of the best manual - I learned many things about this bird like: If it sounds (engine sound) weird, you are doing wrong Great summary of flight phases and of the turbo prop engine.
Great visuals, not best, but very good
Really accurate and satisfying flight model and flight experience.
Very good sounds 90% of the time - just some little transition issues. Not a big deal.
Downsides:
Landing light not bright enough
A little bit too loud in the cockpit ( yeah it is like in reality, but it is a problem because MSFS still doesnāt allow to change this volume)
No zoom at GN530 (pop-out window)
Summary:
In the end, I got many different models of this great DHC-6 aircraft, even with skies and floats! Something that is still missing on some other planes (milviz pc-6 or sws kodiak).
95% of the systems are reliable and seem to function like described.
It has more functionality, more different models, and a way bigger manual than other payware GA in this āclassā for only 30ā¬. Great deal!
Another downside (big) is the sound. We now have a few planes with excellent sound in the sim. Developers should know better by now to release planes with substandard sound.
And what makes it worse is half the things it describes to you arenāt modeled, but they donāt tell you they arenāt modeled, and when called out the answer is simply that theyāll fix the manual.
I picked it up, I think itās great. Itās not perfect but knowing Aerosoft, theyāll fix some of the minor issues in no time. I agree with the OP, very good aircraft out of the gate and a welcome addition.
Looking forward to it. Spent almost 24 hours attempting to install so far ā¦ keeps āencountering a problemā. I suspect that the problem is actually with my pathetic ISP, but there doesnāt seem to be any way to resume the installation if interrupted. I guess Iāll try starting over again in a day or two.
Thereās also a Headphones option in the sound section which should in theory reduce engine sounds but preserve ATC. I havenāt tried it but others said it improved the experience.
Only when viewed from the outside. It has no effect inside the cockpit. I forgot this myself, then claimed it was the only plane I had that was quieter outside.
So very, very trueā¦ You could create a sim using a fully-equipped 747 cockpit with 4k monitors in each window for visuals and all instrumentation workingā¦ and Iād guarantee someone would complain that itās not realistic because the 747 THEY flew in smelled like jasmine, and this one doesnātā¦
some folks want their aircraft - tubeliners mostly - to be so technically accurate and systems intensive to the prototype that it can take up enough computing cycles to reduce FPS to a slideshow - unless they unload some of the simulator graphics settings to offset that impactā¦
