The FSX version is pretty playable, but the X-plane version is a bit harder to find nice planes for, and then in a location where you can make some money by renting them!
I’d love to be able to not spend a lot of time and money to fly my 737 and 727 for fun.
I’m doing battle with my weather plug ins this morning (XP11). Something is crashing my flywithlua plug-in, so I’m removing everything and going back to square one. Trying to resist the X-Enviro thing for now…but the layer cake of SkyMaxx + Real Weather Connector + Ventura Sky + Python + FlyWithLua is pretty annoying. I might just stick with default XP weather until X-Enviro goes on sale.
The Aerosoft Beaver is one of my favorite oldies in FSX/P3D but the textures are really showing their age, nice to see this nice one for XP11, added to my buy list.
Man I guess I was living under a rock all this time and missed Chris’ nice review of it here:
Now I have this and the Kodiak on my list for the next time I splurge on XP11 planes (wallet still recovering from the Alabeo/Carenado sale a few months back)
Dabbling with that new freeware Milford Sound scenery…I think the Carenado Caravan still has a bit too much thrust at idle. I’m just using the one from XP10 inserted into XP11…so I don’t know if they have tweaked the PT6 model yet or not…but it seems a bit too slippery at idle…
That seems to be a problem with most turboprops not certified for XP11. Especially the Kodiak. Hence the low idle/low beta discussion. I can fake it a bit, but wish that it would get sorted soon.
