Welcome back JollyG!

Can I just check…. this one.

Is that the default Caravan with a mod? Or the new Black Square Pro one? In my research I could not find any that are actually the windowless cabin “freight” version of the aircraft in MSFS, so please can you let me know what this is exactly. Cheers!

426

It’s the Black Square Pro. The Cargo variant comes with the bundle version, or separate in the Amphibian & Cargo edition. I wasn’t sure if it’s being counted separately or not, since it’s a paid extra.

427

Yeah they are separate. And I did assume the BS one so all good :+1:

428

I never fly airliners, and this is my list of aircraft I’'ve flown the last two months:

Aeroplane Heaven DH-98 Mosquito

Blackbird Mitsubishi Zero

Flyndive/Paul Domingue Grumman Duck

PMDG Douglas DC-6

:airplane: My Top 10 Aircraft for July

Not purchased any new Aircraft for a while, getting my monies worth out of what I already own :rofl:

  1. Black Square Caravan Professional

  2. Black Square Bonanza Professional

  3. A2A Comanche 250

  4. A2A Aerostar 600

  5. Taog’s Hangar H500C / OH-6A

  6. Carenado Cessna CT210N

  7. AzurPoly Dassault SEPECAT Jaguar

  8. Asobo Cessna 152 — With the WB-Sim / JPL mod

  9. MilViz / Blackbird Cessna 310R

  10. PMDG DC-6 — Since the recent update, it’s been pulled out of the hangar and absolutely hammered!

Hopefully next month won’t be as hot and I can run the sim a bit more. :airplane:

I will shift a little this month. I skipped the Phenom 300 for the moment because of the discussions about the flight model and the price level. Instead I used the summer sales to get me the the Flight Fx Piaggio Avanti, the Blacksquare Bonanza and the Taog Bell UH1. All are great planes and all have beautiful sounds, which is of utmost importance to me. Since I fell in love with the Bell UH I decided to buy Taog’s AS365/HH65 as well and it is amazing. No time for airliners currently, so all have to pause, except the FBW A380 where the group managed to get out the MSFS2024 model. Hats off.
And then there is Aurel taking the old MSFS2020 Twin Otter from Aerosoft and bringing it to unknown heights with his mod. Wish someone would come up with improved sounds for this old workhorse.

So here is my list in no specific order:

  1. Taog Bell UH1
  2. Taog AS365/HH65
  3. Blacksquare Bonanza
  4. Blacksquare Caravan Professional
  5. Flight Fx Citation X
  6. Flight Fx Piaggio Avanti P180
  7. FBW A380
  8. The old Aerosoft Twin Otter with Aurel’s mod (hope this is possible to vote for; otherwise take the Cows DA 42 as my vote)
  9. FSW C414
  10. Grumman Albatross from Mike Johnson (hoping he will turn up the engine noise some day).
432

Yes it’s still in the database but marked as “removed from sale”. I’ll put you down for it.

There was a rather nice sound pack for it that I had and used back in the day, obtained by becoming a Patreon. Don’t know if still available / working now as it was ages ago. It was by FTSim+

Here is.a topic about it: FTSim+ Twin Otter Sounds addon

EDIT: this is the official page for it (and other sound packs): DHC-6 "Twin Otter" - FTSiM+

Can you put a link to the Aurel’s mod here please? May be worth a look for some of us by the sounds of it!

Updating my top 10.

  • A2A Simulations – Piper Comanche 250
  • Black Square – Beechcraft Starship 2000
  • COWS – Diamond DA42 Series
  • FlightFX – Piaggio P.180 Avanti II
  • FlyBoy Simulations – Rans S6S Coyote II
  • Flying Fries – Blackshape Gabriel BK160-TR
  • FSReborn – Sting S4
  • Got Friends – PZL-104 Wilga 35/80
  • Taog’s Hangar – OH6A Cayuse/Hughes 500C
  • Taog’s Hangar – Aérospatiale AS365 Dauphin / Eurocopter HH-65 Dolphin (MH-65)

Out from previous list:

  • A2A - Piper Aerostar
  • FSReborn – TL Ultralight Sirius TL3000

In instead:

  • FSReborn – Sting S4
    I’m really getting back into this. Love the shape of it (pretty much nothing else like it out there in terms of styling. Very modern and sleek) and the weighty feel of the roll axis — works nice with my FF stick.

  • Taog’s Hangar - Dolphin
    I still prefer the general manoeuvrability of the H500 but this is really well made and nice to fly for a bigger heli, a fair bit faster and retractable gear — has some other fun / cool features and lots of variants in the package. Wasn’t expecting that price point but I’m definitely gonna have had my moneys worth from it.

Of course, next month I’m gonna have to fit Taylorcraft in now, I have no doubt! Could be “bye bye” to the Coyote or even the Starship, I suppose.
