A quick test flight in the delightful little PC-6 from Milviz.

It's a stunning looking aircraft (inside and out), fully featured and very professional. A worthy addition to anyone's virtual hangar! Available with just a couple of clicks from your ORBX Central Control Panel!

Wow Adam, that first one looks so real I thought it was an actual photo!

 

Let me ask you a question, how "study level" is it?  I mean do all the switches work?  How's the avionics?  Can you use the GTN 750 in it?  If it's all hat and no cattle like some planes I know then I'd have to pass but if it's A2A like then I'd be tempted.

I may be the wrong person to ask on this one, as I've no idea what the real VC looks like, whether all the systems are included or whether the flight model is realistic or not. You may want to see if you can dig out some videos (or reviews). Just about everything I've seen so far in the VC is clickable - including fuses - and there don't appear to be any "dummy" panels. It does support the Flight1 GTN750 though:

Comparing it to A2A isn't really fair, as most A2A aircraft have Accusim - with all the associated engine wear and complex functionality. The MV PC-6 has an engine wear slider (but that's about it, I think), so constant thrashing of the engine will get you in the end!

 

The overall impression I have (not very scientific) is that this PC-6 is certainly a *quality* product - and whatever it does model, it does well IMHO.

 

Thanks for the nice comments, folks!

 

Adam.

Thanks Adam, that’s perfect!  Appreciate it.

 

The manual(s) may give you more of an idea:

... here's one showing off the avionics (part of a set taken over Nowra, Aus):
