Reviews (by ALVARO)

Fellow Captains, This aircraft is an average Carenado product; nothing out of this world; but once you combine it with Reality Expansion Pack for Carenado PC12 XP11, Garmin GTN750 (payware) and terrain radar (free add-on), it becomes one of the best GA aircraft for XPLANE. The flight Dynamics seem to be very good (Although I am real Pilot I never flown the PC12 in real life), almost all the systems work properly, and the reality that the GTN750 adds into the operation, it makes this aircraft almost a "study level". To be honest, I also own the TBM900 from X- Aviation, which everybody regards as the best GA for Xplane but I enjoyed and preferred the PC12. So, fellow Captains, now this is on sale, give an chance, but remember you need to get the REP expansion also, and if you can the Garmin 750, it might get a little expensive, but you will love it, for sure!!. Greetings Commanders.

Highly recommended for those who still fly in FSX just waiting for MSF2020. The airport and scenery around, are excellent. It really does challenge your skills as pilot, it is probably one of the most difficult approaches and landings in the world.

Fellow Pilots, I had the Leonardo Maddog 2008 but the graphics were old so I went and bought this version, and Boy I got to tell you: What a Beauty!!!..this aircraft is excellent, not just because the high level of system details and good graphics but for the price, just 53 euros. When you compare it with PMDG and FSLA320 that deliver the same but for twice as much, you value the maddog even more. A lot of people moved to P3D v.4 but this plane still performs very well in FSX, so go ahead buy it and support the developer, in either platform that you won’t be disappointed; at the contrary you will fall in love again with this ancient beauty. Good flights, Alvaro A.

I Have to say: I STAND CORRECTED!!!!! I did a review on this aircraft (down on this page) and I said that the autopilot wasn't working properly ..... but the true be told it was my fault.....this aircraft NOW works like champ....... Let me explain what happened, most of the add-ons on FSX have the feature that you can star your flight from any point that you want, i.e. APU on, engines on or even in flight....but this particular aircraft requires that you begin your flight from Cold and Dark state (ctrl+shift+1 and then shift+m) in order to properly initiate the IRU (inertial references units), process that normally takes around 10 minutes, in that period you CAN NOT MOVE the aircraft and YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW "real life" procedures for the initiation the Flight Management System thru the CDU on the pedestal....I would recommended to follow the flight manual or get some kind of book about real procedures for the aircraft, I am currently using "757-767 Pilot handbook, suggested procedures and possible techniques Manual" By Capt. Mike Ray...is a little expensive but if your are serious about flight simulation or want to be a pilot I'd suggested to get this book... Anyway I apologize if I mislead somebody about not to get this aircraft but now I'd said get this aircraft, is a very good representation of the "real aircraft", is a delightful to "fly" by hand and has decent graphics, the only down side is that is a little heavy in FPS........by the way I got QW 757 also, an even although is good, CS 757 is way more realistic.....so is your choice......or just get both and compare them...GOOD FLIGHTS.....

Resect Fellow Virtual Pilots: I bought this aircraft a couple weeks ago and I haven't been able to finish not single flight, this plane has serious issues with the autopilot, is very difficult to control on auto and it does whatever it wants. When I check the support forum they said that is just because the AP is very real and must of the simmers don't know how to operate it properly, I disagree with this because I have LVd767, PMDG 777, 737 an other complex add-on and no problems with the AP. In the other hand the aircraft is beautiful, the cockpit is very well simulate and if you hand flight it is very response, but the true is in this airlines you flight 98% with AP on, so having a good (function one!!) is a Must!!!!!!
