Guest Northwest Pilot Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 A few screens of my cargo flight from CYYJ (Victoria Intl. ) to KOTH ( N. Bend Municipal ). The Pilatus PC-12 is one of my favorites so I had to do a repaint for it. Departing CYYJ, climbing to 11000 [img width=1160 height=661]http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1271465520.jpg [img width=1160 height=676]http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1271416308.jpg [img width=1160 height=640]http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1271382669.jpg [img width=1160 height=614]http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1271423434.jpg [img width=1160 height=667]http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1271461152.jpg On finals Rwy 04 [img width=1160 height=665]http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1271461910.jpg [img width=1160 height=496]http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1271388060.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dags60 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Great shots mate. Looks very much a similar bird to Lionheart's Epic LT. I want another bird like this so now i'm tossing up between the 2. You might sway me in the direction of this bird, but would like to know how she handles etc etc. Cheers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might sway me in the direction of this bird, but would like to know how she handles etc etc. Cheers!!! I've got both those planes. And there are some differences you might well be interested in. The Epic LT is a Very fast plane, and slowing it down can be a bit of a handful. That said, I've tested the LT with a friend against the F1 Citation Mustang for speed, climb rate, and altitude power. The LT beats the twin engined jet on all counts. So if you wanna fly fast and high, go for the LT. The pilatus is a different feel altogether. It feels more stable both on the ground (taxiing), and in the air. It's not as fast as the LT, but it has some features the LT doesn't regarding the avionics. Personally I prefer the Pilatus, it just "feels" better. Both are pretty easy to get to grips with though. I think the Pilatus is better for short field landings, and there's lots and lots of those in the ORBX scenery products. The choice my friend is yours, or you could get both and decide for yourself which you prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, you wont be disappointed if you purchase the PC-12. Like the others said, it handles really well. For the size of this bird it can get into some really short strips which is a bonus for flying in the PNW environment. The avionics are excellent giving you access to ( 2 ) GNS 430's and a Garmin MX 400. From start up to shut down, this plane is a blast to fly. It also includes a sweet repaint kit.

Dags60 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Geez you guys don't make the decision easy do you The credit card's shaking as we speak thinking i'm going to splurge on both lol. Either way it sounds like i'd be happy with either of these birds ... or both, hope my credit card didnt see me type that. Anyhow cheers guys for those insights both sound great.

Thank you kind sir I've been in the same position, where I can't decide what to get, and whether I'd be wasting my money. Believe me, I've wasted quite a bit of money on this FSX stuff. If I can give my true and honest opinion about any product I've bought, or company I've dealt with, then I will do my best so the person doesn't waste their cash. In this case, neither product would be a waste of money, it's just a matter of what type of flying one likes to do. I forgot to say last post, what a great repaint this is, sorry. Very nice indeed. Talking of which, both the LT and PC-12 have many great repaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
