There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Single-engine touring plane?

Oh man, I forgot the Columbia...but the Cirrus SR22G2 turbo is just as fast, and for whatever reason, I like the Cirrus a bit better for overall viability from the cockpit. But you are right, the Columbia is also a real 'animal' for fast cross country touring as well.
Both will cruise at easily right around 205 kts TAS at 15,000-20,000 ft. and above. (both ceilings are approx. 24,000)
I have FSD's Commander 115tc. I considered returning it after purchasing it in December... but it grows on you. There are few little things wrong with it, but there is a lot right with it too including pretty good speed, good looks, glass gauges, nice gps.
I get really good frame rates on it, better than the sf260 which I have and and also like. Finally, it seems to me that the flight dynamics are probably very good. I say probably because I am not a real world pilot, but I have flown in a lot of GA aircraft and the commander seems right. Anyway, you may want to consider it.
oh yeah, good price.... $18.00

With an embarrassing low cabin height of 4.4ft? I doubt that

It was updated last year to full FsX native; the cruise speed is listed as 242 kts (KIAS) and the overspeed limit is 300 kts KIAS which it will break at low altitude! 300 hp is more than enough power for such a light and small airframe.
:d
EDIT: The only place to get the FsX update was the Aussim website (www.aussim.com.au) but it appears to be down!
The one you can buy from Simmarket is only FsX compatible, not native!
