This plane is really much better than some might suggest. First of all it has the usual outstanding Carenado texturing inside and out. You really see something that looks real and luxurious. Right down to the seat belts, random external scratches or marks from routine use and onward. The lighting is also high quality. Where the flight models is concerned it delivers an amazing flight capability that impresses a sense of realism. Those engines sound great!
The PL21 systems are mostly capable. So far I’ve been able to make detailed flight plans but did have to correct the altitudes on each. It doesn’t follow every point on the route for some reason but it does manage to stay on course in the end.
For a Carenado product it is well simulated regarding the systems. Though little documentation provided for the ProLine 21 it isn’t hard to figure out if you’ve used other systems. If you don’t know what to do, just do what I did and google the plane and you’ll find all sorts of helpful tutorials to walk you through it all from start up to shut down. Nearly every single switch, button and dial works. Whatever the case it’s not by any means a 2 star add on. That’s just crazy unfair. I love flying this plane and highly recommend it. It has it all, looks, details, realism and fun!
Die Funktionen dieses Fliegers sind mir leider ein Rätsel - dies liegt im wesentlichen daran, dass außer einer äußerst knappen Beschreibung des FMS (Primus 1000) keinerlei Handbuch mitgeliefert wird, das wenigstens die wichtigsten Schalter, Knöpfe, Instrumente oder Flugsysteme erklärt. Die mitgelieferten Procedures sind in diesem Zusammenhang leider völlig wertlos. Im Internet habe ich ebenfalls keine Dokumenatatiion gefunden.
So bleibt für mich das Zusammenspiel des Autopiloten, des FMS, des PFD und ND ein ziemliches Rätsel.
Die integrierten Navigraph-Charts von 2016 sind inzwischen völlig veraltet, meistens finden sich darin die aktuellen SIDs und STARs nicht. Das Einbinden der Aerosoft NavData-Charts ist nicht möglich.
Rundherum ist diese XL 560 eine komplette Enttäuschung - ich hatte mir wesentlich mehr versprochen. So macht Flugsimulation keinen großen Spaß - wir sind Besseres gewöhnt, und der üppige Preis steht in keinem Verhältnis zum Stand des Produktes.
Insgesamt deshalb höchstens 2 Sterne ... leider.
