It seems lately that I have found some really nice add-on aircraft for FSX. Tim Conrad's designs some great FSX airplanes and the PC-6 is no exception.
One of the things I LOVE about this airplane is its performance. While it isn't a fast airplane by any means, bush flight is where this airplane shines. I have landed this airplane in places from the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in Iceland, to thin cornices in the Grand Canyon. With full flaps, this airplane will touch down at about 50 KTS and most of the time roll out is so short you don't have time to apply reverse thrust.
The one thing I find tricky with turbo-props is the slight lag from when you change throttle settings because the turbine has to either spool up or down. While not a bad thing, it takes some getting used to because of the reaction isn't as instantaneous as with a piston engine.
I love to fly this airplane, most often in multiplayer if we aren't landing on aircraft carriers I am usually flying this airplane although the PC-6 would have NO issue making it onto the carrier deck.
