I can appreciate this for being a high fidelity plane that also uses the G1000. Most of the others seem to just use the old-fashioned steam gauges.

[@Groveish]

For real. We need a high fidelity glass cockpit King Air!

[@countryflyboy8255]

A lot of us just kinda like the old steam gauges and maybe a simple older GPS 😂

[@Michael-zf1ko]

​@countryflyboy8255 Yea, I also have nothing against steam gauges, I'm just saying we already have multitude of them in the high end GA market. Considering the leaps and bounds Working Title (and Navigraph) did to improve the Garmin glass suites, it just feels like it's being held back somewhat by only existing in mid-tier planes.

[@countryflyboy8255]

That's true

[@erdem091984]

Thanks for the amazing review, and amazed with the perfect accent when saying macaron ;-) just purchased it a few days ago, "destroyed" the generator and overpowered on take off before "getting it"...an amazing airplane from FSReborn !

[@nicknicholson1268]

Great demonstration, thank you Emanuel. I have bought this airplane immediately as it hit the marketplace and I have already flown it a few times. An absolute pleasure.

[@pmsoares190]

Great flight review ! Thank you so much.

[@infinitewisdom9619]

This is absolutely astonishing. - And an instant buy for me. Great video! (as expected from this channel)

[@A330Driver]

Welcome aboard!

[@GumperVanLier]

Excellent review. You explained things well.

[@korposp]

Quite impressive skills you have shown on those touch and goes. 👍

[@B_Aviation]

Amazing this aircraft no need for words to describe it

[@jenny02392]

Excellent Tutorial BZ!

[@A330Driver]

Thanks!

[@DinkyDoos]

It'll be interesting how this compares to the Simworks Studio PC -12 when it comes out

[@Aleksandar6ix]

Or the TBM rather. Though I prefer the TBM design, this one provides a lot of special features!

[@alpinebravo7090]

Nice video! Just one point of clarification - it is acceptable/normal to descend the aircraft in idle power. The 'check gear' alert is in two phases - a mutable level which is merely cautionary and a level that is non-mutable and where the need to deploy gear is more necessary! The full logic employed is a little complex and set out in the manual, but you can easily obtain descent rates of -3500fpm when descending at 175-180KIAS, power idle after muting the check gear as you pass through 300lb-ft. You can achieve even more if following the emergency descent procedure (essentially descend at 165KIAS with flaps 10 and gear down)

[@daveorr5858]

I enjoy this aircraft as well once again you make it look easy it is a handful for sure, my only concern with all the coffee the passengers want , where’s washroom…..lol

[@tk64681]

One thing I would like to see people do when reviewing a new airplane is show us the cockpit at night review the lighting. I wish it was available on Xbox.

[@pansearedducklet9054]

It's now available

[@gopherch2754]

thx for the review! I just bought it. It's really nice and a welcome addition to the Blacksquare TBM or the Comanche. But I think it still needs a bit of tweaking. The flight model feels a bit off, especially on the pitch, feels a tad nervous even with reduced sensitivity. But I'm sure they will get there and the product is top notch nonetheless! The TBM in that aspect "feels" a bit better IMHO. But then again, I have RL experience only on the smaller Piper models like on the turbo Arrow, so I can't really judge tbh - I just assume it should feel a bit heavier.

[@A330Driver]

Be sure to submit your suggestions in their discord, Raul is a very active there and takes everything into account.

[@onecharliemike6022]

100% my next purchase!

[@gwalker3092]

It’s an impressive plane and is different enough from the TBM850 due to the cockpit and flight characteristics to justify both. Tbf simmers are spoilt for choice with so many great planes. One very picky thing is that the backup instruments to the left of PFD1 are missing but are due to be added later as commented by a DEV. Personally I disable PFD2 with rhs breaker as I carnt see it anyway 😂. Thx for video it’s a lovely plane I’ve been flying it a lot since it came out. Looking forward to future videos with this plane, it’s great addition to the sim. Developers are making some remarkable planes now 😃. I couldn’t see properly but the dev mentioned the AC doesn’t work properly unless the VENT switch is ON.

[@Pallam1993]

Just saw the EFB and thought, wait a minute, that looks familar. Yes i have the Sting S4 which is a great plane :D

[@SLKVP]

Thank you for the video. Keep in mind the developer is preparing to upload several fixes to the Marketplace in the next days.

[@countryflyboy8255]

Really looks awesome Emi! That's probably the closest thing to an a2a product. I really would like to purchase it but I have been waiting and saving my extra coins for "you know who".. and their expected release of something that ends in a "7"😂

[@A330Driver]

haha, I think you will be able to save up those 32 bucks until that something that ends in a "7" will be available 😂😂

[@countryflyboy8255]

@737NGDriver don't get me wrong. I do want the fs reborn piper. And will probably get it. I also hear that a2a has two other aircraft in development . Waiting on them also.

[@FernandoLXIX]

I think I'll stick to the TBM850. For some reason this one's interior looks a bit cartoonish. I guess it has to do with the glass instruments in contrast with the little amount of switches and gaguges.

[@zk9058]

Cartoonish? Did you see the quality of that croissant? It looked like it was baked to flakey buttery perfection!

[@Pointyish]

Haha…..yep that croissant was something else.

[@Mike_White1988]

great plane, especially for the price😊

[@mikecoffee100]

Ja Ja good video but have to wait for Weihnachtsmann maybe .

[@peterspatz6918]

Another Dev Team which can produce a top notch EFB....

[@FernandoLXIX]

jajaj ehm... pmdg.... ehjjjjjem

[@henrygulergun797]

I have been having issues with EFB and start up, hearing so many good things about this aircraft but hasnt been great so far.

[@peterpickguitar]

Yesterday I was approaching an airport and for some reason the conditioner lever feathered. My engines shut down and I successfully landed. Is there a situation in my speed or something that would of did this to the lever ? (No keybinds are associated with cond lever). Spent hours trying to figure as well how to start after an engine failure...FUSES ! You taught me a lot today. Thank you.

[@SauloMogi]

I noticed the throttle is very sensitive. Gotta be very careful with it

[@thejoyofflying182]

PMS GTN 750 Support ? it looks v nice.

[@demostenesquijada]

Hi! Do you know how to set up the beta and reverse throttle for the Turtle Beach Velocity One Quadrant?

[@A330Driver]

I’m afraid I don’t own that particular hardware so I can’t give advice on it.

[@heinzpilot]

Can the G1000 panels be popped out?? I'm trying to move them to my FSBuilder G1000 units. But it looks like the panels can't be popped out. If this is the case, this is a big fail.

[@A330Driver]

I never tried to be honest, but join their discord server and ask, Raul is very open for feedback and suggestions.

[@yams900]

We've been spoilt with many high fidelity aircrafts lately...can't buy them all, though...so which one, if any, to choose ? Danke !

[@infinitewisdom9619]

I'd buy this one, because it has so many realism-focused features like the (physically impacted) pillows, the red carpet, and so many features in the EFB. It's flight model and (at least basic) failure simulation seems to be great also. For under 40€ this is truly amazing, I think.

[@Jannik_Stein]

I’d go with the TBM. I just love it.

[@caribbaviator7058]

I am waiting for the PC12. I am not sure if the SWS PC12 will be high fidelity though.

[@onecharliemike6022]

It's a tough choice between the TBM850 and this one. I do agree this one has a few more features than the TBM, but the TBM is just an amazing aircraft with plenty of speed. Personally, I will be passing on the PC-12. It looks great but falls short of features like failures and wear and tear that (in my opinon) enhances the overall experience.

[@Jannik_Stein]

@@onecharliemike6022 Although they aren’t full fidelity I always really enjoyed SWS aircraft and I’ll definitely take a look at the PC12, still I am very excited for the expansion

[@Vaporisers]

Hey guys, I updated my fsr500 last night, I also had a mandatory game update today. Ever since, all 3 of my screen just stay black, even the tablet. Me and a couple friends have this issue now. Does anyone know how to fix it? (Xbox)

[@A330Driver]

I’d recommend to ask the same question in the Fsreborn discord, they’re very good at support over there.

[@Vaporisers]

@@A330Driver thanks

hello or got the tablet

Do they have German Bratwurst 🌭 sausage in this airplane ? If yes , I will buy it ! The bratwurst 🌭 , obviously !! 🙂

It will be very shortly
