Sweet! This is pretty much the only airplane I have been flying in XP11 since I got it in February. Hot Start set a massively high bar with this one that I don’t think is quite fully appreciated. And you’ll get the free upgrade for XP12 so why not?! In the meantime, the dev is very active in updates/fixes. If you feel compelled, report any issues and suggestions at their X-pilot forums. The moderators and testers are very receptive. Your 604 experience will definitely be welcome.
I’m confident this bird will be a great primer for your 650 training. Check out those real time Study Panels… electrical, fuel, engines, ECS, GPS, FMS, Datalink signals… the list goes. Oh did you notice the LONG load up?! Probably the only “downside” only because it is loading up an insane amount of telemetry.
Those study panels are a work of art…as good as anything I have seen in the classroom.
I’ll poke my head through the door at the forums, although I am sure I will be the one doing the learning as it has been awhile since I flew the 604. After flying the Honeywell Primus 2000 suite for the past 7 years on the Global, I am fumbling around with the Proline 21 but I’m getting there.
in the quest for low level detailed areas to fly around in flight sims I have discovered that custom hand-crafted big airports are really fun places for some flying down low in small helos.
by default I have ignored these places. but seems like these are the most detailed areas to be found in sims.
