Are you running the Fokker in FSX here or in P3Dv4?

I have taken the issue up with them and so far, to no avail. I am of the belief they never properly tested it in FSX seeing the issues I am seeing. I am almost certain the large internal MDL file size (which I understand is for PBR usage) is behind the problem. With the full Cheyenne model, I can't get out of the traffic pattern without have a VAS/OOM. The lite model works better but even with that one I usually began using up VAS by the end of the flight. IMO, they should offer a regular sized model with various texture options to customize VAS & Memory usage. As it stands, I am out $40 until I go with P3Dv4. For now I won't be buying the Fokker 50 which is a pity.
Yes that is unfortunate, I spent weeks pulling my hair out thinking it was scenery issues not a airplane issue and unfortunately for me P3d doesnt work for me(just doesn't look right on my setup) but I am trying out X-Plane 11 to try a 64bit sim so far not bad though scenery is an issue.

That's still absolutely insane. What does ModelConverX's "Model Information" screen say (Drawcalls/Vertices/Texture Vertices)?

When I questioned about the interior model size (on both the full and lite version of their Cheyenne III), I was told it had to do with PBR being added to it. Whatever the case, in FSX it simply will not work unless you're using the lite model and/or turn your settings down to ridiculous levels. I assume in P3Dv4 the full model runs just fine. I wish they gave the option to have a smaller size models (similar to their earlier Hawker and Citation which run great on my system).

Repaint request for Miniliner F50 Freighter.
Miniliner was a small italian cargo company operating from 1982 to 2015. It worked mainly for FedEx/UPS/DHL. The base airport was Bergamo Orio al Serio (LIME) Italy.
The fleet was composed by 5 F27/500 and 3 F50 Freighter. LIME is the airport 20 Km far away from my house, is the airport where I fly at the local AeroClub, and there are all the old F27/500 abandoned in the ex-Miniliner apron :-(
I don't know if it is possible to cover the passenger windows to make the cargo version...
May be Carenado will add in the future the freighter model as they did with the Caravan...

You can try to run the model files throuch ModelConverter to export them in native FSX format. But that's not a recipe for success, as XToMDL tends to quit mid-compile for very large models.

FYI to everyone here considering newer Carenado models for FSX. I heard back from them today and they indicated that the newer models (like the Cheyenne III and Fokker 50) will have the larger MDL files (I am guessing due to them utilizing PBR). They said that unfortunately this could very well be the reason some users will have VAS issues in a 32 bit simulator when using their newer PBR based products. It would be fitting if they added a warning/disclaimer in their sales notes regarding this issue to prevent users from having issues such as I have others have had.
They have offered me an exchange with anything in their library which I think is a kind gesture from them. I am going to research their models to make sure that whatever replacement I decide on doesn't have overly large MDL files.

That is correct Menef. I would like this scheme on the 50. The Ansett that Jan did was never a f50 scheme it's was worn by the f27.This is an F27, not an F50...
