Looking good Sean , Im really looking forward to their S550 .

One I jumped on board in Wanaka , Pilatus brought it in from Australia, it was an impressive looking machine.

Here is the Flight 1 PC-12 with the RFDS paint

Nice one big D ...... good looking aircraft.

Ive been checking their site at least 3-4 times a day for the past week

enough already........

It always the story, found a glitch and there is a hold up .. example is the Milviz Phantom was to be updated this weekend, but no joy - just one off those things, be worth the wait.

Very nice.
Already have the old Flight1 PC12 so can't really justify the moolah for another rendition of it. Does look great tho.

Looks great...might consider this if there is a NZ scheme for it... then again the upcoming Citation and the Hawker do look good'

Crikey you do have a lot problems with banks and paypal , wonder if it maybe best to contact the paypal group and reset and organize a new setup and password?

My purchase decision with this purely depends on what repaints Jeansy and/or Jankees make....which strangely enough have guided most of my purchases lately...

Yeah .... Ive had stuff from them (lots) in the past , but this time the pay page looks new. Everything appears to work , i log in , give the info ....wait, wait , and then im told your bank has rejected the sale . To make sure it wasn't me , i went shopping at a book store in the UK .... no problem .
Maybe F1 will have it .... they like me

I am thinking, six months back a lot off security things changed and required confirm that you are or have a paypal account , they still required that confirm.

Their system isnt paypal , its called webpay . I'll give the bank a call , and see if they know . I know that BNZ have really beefed up security lately.

Got it sorted .... i was entering some wrong digits , i misunderstood the cvr thing . They made it sound like i needed to input the last 3 numbers of the access number .... anyway , Im going in

That's all cool , at times you start wondering , least look at it this way .. they are looking after you.

Well , ive got it .... and to be honest guys , i think you should read any reviews that maybe out there (as i should have too) . I know this hobby is different things to different people .... i tend to lean toward the visual side of things. But , in my humble opinion , this is average .
My system may play a part in my disappointment, but not a big one i think. Please prove me wrong all you systems gurus .

It seems to fly well , but as Ive never flown one i cant really comment , but when you can fly around with the door open ( i forgot to close it) shows me at least , a little lack of systems modeling , gear that can be lowered at any speed ..... even the freeware Rick Piper 748 wouldn't let you do that if your above the max allowed.

5 out of 10 from me , and money that could have been better spent , regardless of what paints may evolve for it. This is NOT a review , just a view , as i said prove me wrong please.

I bought it as well, and made a quick video around Christchurch:



Splitpin, not all aircraft have sophisticated automation on board. If I want, I can takeoff in the Jetstream 31/32 with the cargo pod open, main door open, cockpit windows open... It's not smart to do, but aside from some warning lights, there are no systems preventing me to do it. Same goes for the landing gear. There is a limit of 170 for the PC-12 to extend it, after that you may fly up to about 237 IAS if I saw the placard correctly. But there is probably not a system on board double checking the airspeed before dropping the gear.

To be honest, I think that's how it should be. Just yesterday, the PMDG JS4100 wouldn't give me full flaps while I was doing 142kts IAS because the max limit is 140kts IAS.... They will not break off with 2kts over the limit, give me my ****************** flaps .

To me it seems like a pretty solid Carenado addon. Nothing too fancy, but the flight model feels right and it's suitable for normal operations where people don't forget doors (just kidding).
