For those interested in the Commander AC series Click HERE!!!
 
Whoow, just re-installed the 520 en 560.... I really missed out on them in FSX-SE ☺

Thanks a lot!
 
I have a few more minor tweaks to complete and it should be ready for upload later today (GMT -7 here).
 
Kudos to you, Milton.

Another in a long line of splendid models. Was a treat to "re-engage" into FSX after a long absence by flying this lovely gem.

Here's to lots of downloads and repaints.

Many "old" memories came back to life last night when I installed and took up for a flight. Thanks Milton! Spend hundreds of hours in the 500 in FS9. I even had modified the panel with a bunch of RXP gauges. It was my "go to".

Looking forward to the 680 soon.
