The C402C Utiliner/Businessliner is a 6 to 10 passenger, light twin, turbocharged piston engine aircraft.
The C402C was a development from the C402B and certified September 25th 1978. One modification for the 402C increases the maximum landing weight to 7,200 pounds which allows commercial operators to fly with an increased payload on shorter routes. The 402C uses two Continental TSIO-520-VB turbocharged, 325 horsepower fuel-injected piston engines. Another modification of the 402C has increased takeoff weight, longer wing span without tip tanks and new scissor landing gear. Has a propeller synchrophaser to reduce cabin noise and vibration. All seats are removable so that the aircraft can be used in an all-cargo configuration.

This C402C is a nice twin to fly around in. It’s especially good for those charter type flights in and out of small airports and island hops say like the Seychelles. I like the way it’s been designed to fly as close to real world as possible. However I believe it could be a little more realistic, but that’s a little nick picky maybe. It’s a smooth easy forgiving ride that is quite enjoyable.
The textures are a little lacking but not bad. I really like that all of the doors open and close. The sounds are pretty close to the real thing so far as I can tell in comparison to real world videos.
Everything works as expected and I can’t find any problems.
Very easy on frames.
Based on use with FSX SE Win10 i7 3.3ghz 16GB Ram Intel UHD630 integrated GPU.
An excellent aircraft that is very fun to fly. Modeling and flight dynamics are the best you’ll find for a Cessna 402C. Texturing is good, but not the best on the market. Sounds are high quality with detailed cockpit sounds. A great feature is the fact that Flysimware has continually updated this plane since it's release in 2014. Very frame rate friendly.
Definitely a solid product. While the quality and graphics level isn't exactly what you're used to from the biggest names out there, it's not far behind and it's well above the default aircraft. Great product and even better support. Easily my favorite light aircraft for when I want to fly low and slow.
This plane is absolutely fun to fly.
The systems are ok even if the autopilot is very "basic" (old model), but it make the job and is really easy to master. The graphics are not the best of the market but are good enough to give you the feel you are in the cockpit. Nearly no "fps" impact on my 3 years old system.
For sure, i will fly a lot of miles in this one : thank you "Flysimware".
Maybe the next buy will be the 441 conquest from the same publisher...

Fazit:
Nach dem Test dieses Add-Ons fühle ich mich ein wenig hin- und hergerissen. Optisch ist das Add-On definitiv nicht State-of-the-art und im Vergleich mit anderen und unter Berücksichtigung des doch recht hohen Preises nicht akzeptabel. Andererseits bekommt man ein Flugzeug, welches durchaus liebevoll umgesetzt wurde, insbesondere wenn es um die Programmierung der Systeme angeht. Definitiv also alles Andere als ein High-Class-Produkt, wenn man jedoch jetzt nicht all zu viel Wert auf makellose Optik legt und/oder nur ein etwas schwächeres PC-System hat, kann der Kauf auf keinen Fall schaden.
