M110A2 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I needed a major upgrade in this hobby. I wanted a Socata TBM850, but I instead did some research on Private Single Engine Turboprops. I came up with the Cessna Denali, well there isn't a 3D flight Model of one YET. So I had heard of the Piper PA46 and Cessna C206B Grand Caravan Turboprops, did some digging online and found them with Expansion Packs: Synthetic Vision System and Navigraph. Piper Aircraft had started right here in my city in 1927 by William T. Piper with the first Piper Cub. So I had to have the Piper Meridian over a foreign manufacture. The Cessna Grand Caravan C206B with the Navigraph was all i needed to make up my mind not to mention 40% off and 30% off the Expansion Pack on Steam for the exact same thing where it came from. ORBX Global Trees HD, ORBX NA Northern Rockies and ORBX Southern Rockies added to the FTX scenery library. The PA46 is out of the normal for me, very different in every way a virtual pilot could imagine. I'll get used to it quick as many hours I sit in FSX. Okay, enough its screenshot time. More of the Rockies at a later time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Some wonderful planes and scenery here. It is very addictive once you get started isn't it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks VH-KDK, It is and flying freeware aircraft doesn't cut it honestly. All the Switches and Buttons work except for those on the yoke and one other in the PA46 and they all work except for the yoke in the C206B. Which I hear is unusual from this publisher.

I don't mind the freeware planes especially the modern jet airliners as I can actually have a reasonable flight as they are simple to operate. I am a Ctrl+E so I just want to get in the air and look at the scenery and also the plane. I am glad to see so many long gone planes from the past back in the virtual skies again! This is what I like about the pastime that it caters for all of our preferences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Excellent shots and a great plane, it's a real workhorse. I used to use one of these in FS Economy all the time. I'm looking forward to Virtual Sky soon now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I like about the pastime that it caters for all of our preferences! I'm looking to learn the new technology and learn the Cold and Dark Startup Process. I have the time to pass so why not invest in a couple complete aircraft and some different scenery and actually learn. If it's not FSX, it's an espionage novel.

I'm just really starting and have had FSX SE for about a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was beautiful down to the cracks in the leather seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
