2D cockpit breaks my #1 rule: Leave at least a 40% outside view. This one
is like "flying a giant panel". The perspective is that of a 4 foot tall 6
year old that can't see over the panel.

And, there is something very "FS98ish, hand painted panel and VC" about this
offering.

Compare this to the Meridian's "reach out and touch it" panel.

I see some polygons in the VC too... Not impressed so far.

And did you see how Flight1 is trying to sneak the price up a little bit?

Bonanza A-36 $24.95

Pilatus PC-12 $ 26.95

I guess the higher cost of oil has increased their cost of production and
distribution.

Not sure about PC-12 but PC-9 has HOTAS so there is not much to touch on
panel...

I had a privilege few days (RL) ago to be safety pilot to a PC-9 driver in
good old PA-28-161. It gave me endless fun watching him trying to cope with
trimmers and complaining about missing aileron trimmer.

Ahhhh, "DISREGARD"

I went onto something completely different here. I was thinking about PC-21

Sorry,

The A36 is a Dreamfleet product. Flight1 is simply used for the e-commerce
system, just as Eaglesoft and many other developers.

The PC-12 is a Flight1 product entirely.

Yup. I knew that.... (correction: Flight1 also provides marketing for
the A36)

I just see prices trying to creep in-between the area between $25 and $30.
You could attribute it to inflation except $2 for a $25 dollar product would
be double the rate of inflation for 2004.

But, I'm just running my mouth... the price should be determined by the
market's willingness to buy that product at a given price. Unless, I've
gotten a wrong impression about this offering, it looks like they over
priced it.

Hey Bill, the glass panel in this PC12 bears a resemblance to the one you
guys are working on in the Cirrus SR20. Any talent crossover on this
project?

Nope... I fail to see any similarity between their square EFIS and EHSI and
11.4" diagonal LCD screens... ???
