I know it's not an airliner but I'm excited for this release. This was one of my favorite planes to fly back in FSX. This release looks great. They released their NDA this morning. I see executive charter flights in my future.
Here is the first video preview.

I have the Carenado PC-12 but am looking forward to getting this one, too.

I really disliked the Pilatus for FSX as to me it was an ugly airplane. Rick Stevens would always kid around with me on the Saturday AM flights and threaten for us to use the Pilatus knowing my dislike for it.

That's really funny Wayne. I like its versatility. In fact, if I were a millionaire, it would be my first plane of purchase. lol. A man can dream.

That was a great video. Thanks Harold. I watched it all. Very cool B52 capture at about the 12:30 minute mark. Still would be my first airplane purchase post-lotto win.

Watch this video with a real PC-12 pilot. He talks through real life procedures AND workarounds for some of the issues still in the sim - primarily, the switch from ground handling model to flight model at 80 kts. This is both on takeoff and landing (flight model to ground handling model). Short of it is to start rolling with yoke backpressure and get the plane off the ground before 80 kts, and land with airspeed below 80 kts. This is being worked on by the devs. There are a couple other minor issues discussed in the video, too.

I'm definitely having the autopilot issues as well. Patiently awaiting the update the Devs mentioned this past weekend.

They posted not too long ago that the update should drop tonight or tomorrow. Sounds like this is likely all Sim update 14 related. I believe they were released the same day.

With the new update, most of the squirreliness seems to be gone/lessened.
