Not OT but I have rode right seat on a Caravan Cargomaster for 6 legs a couple of decades ago. I do not own the Carenado model but looking at it's screens and videos on Youtube, the VC is pretty spot on. So far as the PT6 sound, inside my old David Clark H10 13.4 headset I could not hear the PT6 so much as I could feel it's vibration and the prop pitch changes (especially in beta range). I did get a little hands on the yoke en-route and made a few turns and a descent. The handling (IMO) felt not unlike a C172, only that you knew there was a lot more metal/weight & power under you.

A2A general aviation aircraft have an option where you click the mic jack and it puts on virtual headphones.

Thus far I have not paid a lot of attention to their GA line but knowing their quality and features, that sure is a nice bonus feature. I've only flown in GA cockpits a few times without a headset and mostly with a headset w/VOX Intercom. Obviously the difference is quite stark (w/w/o a headset) but even more so when wearing ANR type headsets. I once rode in the #1 seat in a Jetstream J31 directly behind the crew (as the J31 doesn't have a jumpseat). I took my headset off for a few seconds and the sound of the TPE331's were quite loud. Not sure how the passengers could stand it!

Anyhow, related to this model, depending on what the sound levels are, I usually adjust my PC volume via the keyboard to render the best sound level in my two Bluetooth headsets (S305 and a SB220) which I try to simulate cockpit headset levels for a turboprop.

One question though, it's hard to tell from your screenshots, but does the model have the nice "eye candy" bump maps and stuff?

Yes, bump maps and other eye candy things are inside. Don´t worry. :untroubled:

@all
I went into troubles with the 3- and 5-blade Propellers in one model. Today I solved it. Now you can control the visibility of Propeller-vars with control panel without loading a new flight/model.

Now changing avionics are the last step...

We are in beta. I fixed a lot of stuff with success. New are wheel pants and GPU. You can control them via config gauge.

TiAr, I apologize if this has been asked and answered already, but I was curious if any additional liveries will be included with the release? Great model and word by the way!!

I am sure within hours of it's release there will be dozens of repaints available. This is the SOH you know.:biggrin-new:
 
I collected some older pics, these repaints should give you an overview, they are done, but not finished (new repaint kit, no bump textures etc). But these and others are inside release.

Well, I know this is going to be a really great plane to fly into all of those Orbx PNG Bush fields. :)
 
I did the last big step. Now you can display via config-gauge three different avionic suites "on the fly": Garmin 530/430, F1 GTN 750/650 or KLN90B. All is in one model. It works without loading a new aircraft.
