  1. I agree! It does look nice. ;) Wish we had that kind of cockpit equipment when I was still current!!

    Glad I have had the opportunity to see our equipment come up to the glass versions. No more round gauges in our C208s....except for backups. Now we are getting the Cessna 408 Skycourier online with the latest gen of G1000 panels. Sweet!

  2. Love the Pitts! I flew the S2B in aerobatic competitions in the early 90's. A friend of mine owned one painted in red, white and blue. Awesome airplane to fly but takes ALL of your attention on takeoff and landing. Took me a few hours to land the airplane correctly after the side slip approaches. Landing from the rear seat of the S2B isn't really that difficult...it's after the landing with very little forward visibility that matters.
  3. Good enough for sim flying and overall good job for the C208 EX. The EX is slicker on slowing down than the C208B. It was eye opening for me when I flew the EX....especially on final. I had to do an embarrassing go-around. But, it was my first flight in the EX and I was still considering the older C208B with the prop that acts likes a speed brake. I was resistant to pulling the power back to idle. At any rate, 120 approach speed with full flaps worked great...just as the C208B. Depending on wind conditions, the nose of the aircraft during flair can change, but not much. The eye point in the sim is higher than the actual pilot eye point in real life.
  4. Really good depiction of MVY during the off peak summer season. Having been to MVY for a number of years during the off peak season, I can attest to the lack of aircraft there, but the scenery didn't quite capture the southeast side of the ramp and beyond. At least from my perspective of viewing it. I have flown in a C208 for years to MVY from PVD and I am quite impressed with the MSFS scenery depiction...no matter what is missing in the sim. Good job of showing MVY, sir!
