Hello All,

Is there a turbo prop that seats 4-6? The Socata TBM seats 8. I was hoping for something smaller. If there is such cruiser, does one exist for FS9? Any thoughts? :isadizzy:
 
Super King Air B200. Executive seating for 6. The Aeroworx version is the best going for this beautiful plane, IMHO.
 
Pilatus PC-12 in executive configuration typically seats about 6. I've also seen real-world Cessna 441s with 6 seat interiors (although they're typically configured for 8+). Flight1 makes excellent examples of both.
 
Mike Stone's Piper Meridian. or if you have FS 2002, Flight 1's payware bird.

King Air C-90's, and F-90's seat six pax plus 2 crew. Sort of. When I worked for a charter outfit, the C-90's had 4 seats in a club arrangement and for 2 more people, one person was on the side mounted seat across from the door and the other was sitting in the luggage compartment on the Potty Seat.

There's a nice set of flyable C-90's (No VC as well as the F-90 and B-200) done by Dee Waldron on his site.

Wait a minute. The TBM 700 seats 6 (including pilot). There's an excellent freeware model out there. The Veneaviones Turbo Commander, mentioned in the Freeware Gems thread, has 6 seats (including pilot) plus a belted potty. There's a link for it on the thread. I have both the TBM and the Turbo Commander, and I would recommend them both as high quality aircraft. Happy flying!
 
Lionheart model of the Epic LT

Its payware but an amazing bargain. Bill posts a lot on SOH and a search for Lionheart or Epic LT ought to find you a few threads about this speedy homebuilt bird. FS9 or FSX.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really want to stay with a single engine with a good view from the cockpit. The Piper Malibu Meridian appears to be what fits best. Is the Flight One good? For now, I'll be flying the TBM 850. It sure would be nice to have a SMALLISH GA turboprop! (that's not a 2 seat trainer). Something Beechcraft Baron sized.
 
Hey All,

Single Engine and smallish then Quest Kodiak it's actually smaller than another option not yet mentioned the turbo Beaver from PAD. If it were me though I'd go for either the high wing Kodiak or the low wing Pilatus PC-12 depending on preference - I like and fly both regularly. The meridian may be a good choice if you want small as it is slightly smaller than the Kodiak.
