Fokker 50 is a medium large size aircraft found in many counties of the world! The aircraft structure is based on 40 years of experience with Fokker 27 Friendship. It's success surpassed belief and this has resulted in an economic repair life of 90,000 landings.
PAOB wanted to create an aircraft that it will make your sim flight experience even more challenging and realistic.
PAOB Fokker 50 provides a high level of detail, plus detailed Operation Manuals and realistic procedures like Check Lists.
Detailed does not mean complex - The Flight deck Fokker 50 features a 'dark cockpit' philosophy - It is easy to fly and all contribute to reduced pilot workload. The panel is quite user friendly, so you do not need to spend a month on reading huge manuals.
Our manual is a 80 page pdf file and the an additional 20 page "Speed & Performance" Excel table. You can concentrate on the realistic "Check Lists" procedures which are built in panels by integrated file system with voice.
PAOB's products feature - "Art of Machine" philosophy - so we are not only especially great on precise Modeling, but also strong in Flight Dynamics. We try our best to input the real data on flight dynamic files, then being the intensive flight dynamic test.
The Panel Project Development is in cooperation with a talented gauge programmer and panel designer. Our virtual cockpit panel simulation was upgraded to a new level!

As a Dutchman I wanted to have the complete KLM & KLM cityhopper fleet 2009 complete. This was almost no problem, cause for every plane there was a good Addon on the market. However, not for the Fokker 50. I found one, but some movies on the Internet did not impress me. A few weeks ago someone pointed me to the new Fokker 50 on the market from PAOB. He was pleased and knew that I was searching for my last piece of the puzzle.
I did some research and found some information on the internet, which impressed me. PAOB did produce another product, which was very nice to handle. This convinced me to go ahead and buy the Fokker. I am glad to say that this was the right decision.
The PAOB Fokker 50 is a nice aircraft which does fits in my fleet. http://forum.flightsimulatorx.nl/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=799&start=15 It handles very nicely and most systems are simulated. Combined with the Integrated Simavionics package for the FMC (which has to be bought separately, http://www.isgsim.com) it is quite simple a plane which is must for the real flightsimmer. The classic Fokker family has to be one of the outsiders in everyone's fleet.
The Fokker is (also without the FMC) a plane which has to be learned. It is not a simple plane such as the standard default planes, but a plane which requires a knowledge from the professional flightsimmer. Landing on a difficult airport as London City or Innsbruck becomes the standard for those pilots who failed with their other and slightly bigger planes.
The Fokker 50 handles like a real turboprop. Having flown the real Fokker 50 as a passenger for many times, I can say it feels, hears en looks like the real thing. The sound of the engine is as it should be. The reverse of the props make the sound which I (as a neighbor of EHAM) hear frequently. The after sales is wonderful. You will get in direct contact with the developer. He also made the panel for me, to combine the plane with the ISG FMC. I heard there was some criticism about the crosswind landing of the plane. There was not enough Yaw ability. I totally disagree. I tested this for PAOB and found that the plane with moderate and heavy crosswind handles exactly like the real Fokker should do. Landing crosswind will always be work. Don't be a lazy pilot ;-). The test was done under manual and ILS conditions. Even in manual mode I managed to hit the centerline of RWY 27 on EHAM as I should do.
It's clear I am very happy with this plane. It's worth it. With or without the ISG package.
However, after reading on the internet, after reading the manual, and testflying, I learned the ac very fast. I only have some trouble to learn how to decent, the ac starts to climb again, but I will also find the trick. De ILS and other systems where logical thinking.
The AC flies beautifuly. It handles wonderfull and is good flyable by hand. I am deeply in love.
The after sales service is great. I send a mail abt something and got an answer within a few hours!
The Paob Fokker 50 is a welcome addition to my fleet. (My fleet:http://www.fsp-studios.nl/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=111)
