Another New Turboprop (an Embraer)

This just popped up on Simmarket, an Embraer E121A1-XINGU II (EMB 121) from BRSIMDESIGNS. A very interesting model, the real bird is a bit obscure.

Two big selling points for me are a dynamic external registration (not baked into the textures like the Twotter and most of the C310R variants) and a copilot that's visible from inside the cockpit. Are there any indications of either?

No co-pilot visible nor captain. Can't say for sure on the dynamic registration.
 
Nice lines for sure, watched a review earlier today and it appears to have a power issue at idle ... take your feet off the brakes and hang on !! . Hard to imagine that's the way it is in real life.
 
yes dynamic aircraft registry default in the config is PT-OZS but it can be overwritten with by entering other one that show up in cockpit and fuse :) like we have with the default msfs aircraft

it Starts up cold & dark even when placed on rwy which make it not the ideal aircraft for short evenining flights wish that there are states to choose from EFB (like ready for takeoff)
 
so here my final review of it

Positive Aspects:
+ Model
+ Aircraft Type is bit of unique (at least I have not seen a Xingu for Flightsim before)
+ Visual Registry can be changed from Menu
+ Price seems fair

Negative Aspects:
- MSFS Checklist (Auto Complete Task do not work)
- EFB let not select you other loading state than "Cold & Dark" there is no "Ready to Taxi" Option

hope that this will be addressed in Update

A lot of turboprops will actually start to roll when the condition levers and props are full forward even with the power levers at idle. The normal procedure to control the taxi speed is the move the levers between idle and beta range without using the brakes. This aircraft is fairly small with those PT6 engines which at high idle or even ground idle will easily make it roll. The condition levers on this model will help tame the ground roll when moved to the ground/low detent.
 
Good evening


I remember a version under FS 2002, so I am happy to discover this MSFS 2020 version. I do not see a French navy livery.


If she were to arrive I would buy this plane.
