I just got a very interesting email from Ini! They have a Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II inbound! Here's the announcement on their forum:

Announcing iniBuilds F406 Caravan II for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!

Hello! Today we're excited to bring you the next aircraft in the iniBuilds lineup, the iniBuilds F406 Caravan II! An aircraft that showcases rugged versatility and a purposeful design, the F406 Caravan II has served in roles ranging from surveillance and maritime patrol to regional passenger tran...

The page says 2024, but my email states both versions. I really hope they're doing a 2020 release, since this one really checks all my favorite boxes - Cargo, Twin, and T-prop!
 
Looks great for when FS2024 is worth installing -- maybe after SU3. That's the kind of plane that offers a good variety of virtual tasks.

Speaking of nice turboprop twins, though, isn't it shocking that we've never had an Aero Commander (like the 690C Jetprop)?
 
After the T-33 and the Spartan, I'll take a look at this after the first patch drops. :) I like their planes, but they tend to need at least one patch to get past the "that's so obvious how did they ship this?" glitches.
 
Under the youtube video:

We're excited to bring you the next aircraft in the iniBuilds lineup, the iniBuilds F406 Caravan II! Made in collaboration with the RVL Group, we visited their operations at East Midlands airport to get an in-depth look of the F406. Stay tuned for a full tutorial video of the F406 👀With features including multiple aircraft variants that suite different missions, integrated GTN 650, mission support for MSFS 2024 career mode and much more. This iconic multi-role machine will be available soon for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 & 2020!
 
Spotted in the circuit !
Jonathan Beckett & Inibuilds have put out their respective review's, look's great !

Regards

PS - MSFS 2020 friendly
 
Its available for FS20 & FS24
Flew the FS24 version yesterday & had a bit of a wrestle with the AP, couldn't get it to lock on to the Magenta Line in NAV, but HDG worked ok. Also, the GNS 430, or 530, can't recall which unit - when I hit the CDI button the displayed pink GPS did not turn to the usual green VLOC, but other dials to the left of the GPS unit 'twitched' so maybe it is changing, just not reflecting that in the GPS/VLOC notification area?
Anyone else found this?

I managed an ILS landing using the PMS 650, although it wanted to land next to the runway.
I get the feeling this one needs some polish.
You do get 2 aircraft, 1 for FS20 & 1 for FS24, & hopefully INI & RVL will iron out the idiosyncrasies within the AP & GPS systems.
