Greece, Turkey, and South Korea are the top three places I would love to have too. I also look forward to when they add PG for the Rhine River from Mainz (also Wiesbaden) to Koblenz, Bath in England, new PG for Paris, and the Loire Valley in France along with Avignon, Orange and Arles in an expanded Provence; in the US definitely Utah and finishing Hawaii which was their original intent. I would think they could get the required data for those areas so I didn’t include other countries that might be out of reach such as Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt and Morocco or additional countries in South America such as Peru, Columbia and Chile. The issue with Greece and Turkey, as stated by Jorge, is that the data can’t physically leave the country and must reside on a server within each respective country. He said that is something they’ve considered doing so there is hope. Edit: Also Lyon and Manchester definitely should have PG.

I haven’t seen anything, but I would love an update for Utah to cover the Big 5 National Parks there. Some of the most distinctive landscapes anywhere in the world and they don’t look great in the sim.

Thanks, yes I’m aware. My point was adding too much fuel then increasing torque can cause an ITT spike which can damage the engine. Therefore sequencing is important and something people new to turboprops may be unaware of.

No problems here. I always ensure with turbo props when adding power, to increase propeller RPM first then the throttle. Then at cruise, decrease the throttle first before lowering the propeller RPM. Also, make sure you properly use the Initial Separator on the ground if on an unimproved runway surface, during taxi and during icing. It should be pulled out.

Open the small side window and it gets really loud in the cockpit. 😂 I flew on one in real life in Belize and don’t recall it sounding loud in the cabin.

Has anyone actually gotten their discount code? It’s not in my account under order details/activation as described in the email notification so I submitted a ticket. Edit: Wow Just Flight has fantastic Customer Support! They responded to my ticket within ten minutes.

I understand that view, but I like both planes, bush flying, and having the option of analog or G1000. Plus already owning both in 2020, they are discounted so that helps a bit. Kodiak includes all variants and is cheaper than the Caravan so might be the better option if you only want one. The Kodiak has consistently been rated high by the community since its release over at MSFS Forums Monthly Top Ten Plane thread.

Me too! Day One upgrade for sure. So great to see this and the BS Caravan releasing only 10 days apart!

It has passenger seating, but no visible passengers. He may not have added them to the load out.

This isn’t a bundling of two separate planes like the Bonanza/Baron combo. It’s one plane. The bundle is just for an additional variant so no there is not a discount for the bundle already built in. Most people would not spend $48 twice for the same plane just to get another variant. Although many in the flight sim community have been conditioned to do this by PMDG. Before any discounts you’re paying $17 for a different load out. After discounts, you’re paying $20 for the additional variant. So the policy is flawed. At a minimum it should have just been a flat dollar discount. The price of the other variant should not have increased. I’ll just fly the amphibian version when I want to haul passengers. Easy math $38 versus spending $58. But for those who feel compelled to get the bundle, go for it. I own every Black Square product and have lots of Just Flight products as well so I am a huge supporter of both companies. My comments are solely focused on the discount, nothing more.

Anytime a discount policy motivates your customers to spend less, it’s flawed.

This discounting makes zero sense. You save $6.50 if you buy the bundle and $9.60 if you buy a single variant. It should have been the other way around! I was planning to buy the bundle but I think I will skip it and just grab the Cargo/Amphibian variant.

This one really hasn’t been on my list since I have the Starship and love it, but for $25 I’m buying it. Sounds like an excellent plane with phenomenal value!

Sounds like an excellent plan! JF Caravan, MD-11, MD-80, then the ToLiss A340 is the exact order I had written down for my next purchases along with the Flying Iron Spitfire, Taog Dauphin and new Blackbird Corsair when they are released. Also plan to upgrade my SimWork Studios Kodiak when the native 2024 version lands, which is supposed to be soon.

I picked up the Starship several months ago, but just really got into flying it about a month ago. It has become my favorite plane. Fly it down low like a GA plane or fly it high like a biz jet. It’s such a unique experience with great versatility. In his year end best MSFS add ons video, Into the Blue Simulations called it a once in a generation or even lifetime plane. That says it all!
