I decided to buy the FSD Pilatus Porter v2 as it's on sale, knowing it was a port and I'm glad I did!

I did a while back, too, Roger. Good plane.. Some of the repaints have a transparent floor when viewed from outside, however...

Looking good Roger. Nice screenshots.

Each time I see screenshots of this baby, I want to get it. The VC looks great.

What is landing speed with full flaps? I hear it is one awesome STOL aircraft.

One of my favourite ports too. I like to do virtual paradrops with mine and go vertically downwards with the prop pitch in beta...just like the real bird! Would love to see a developer produce a native FSX version......Bill...hint, hint ;) :)

Yes it’s very nice. Ironically I was watching a real one today dropping parachutists. After the drop the PC6 dived down at an insane angle, at times looking almost vertical. What an incredible aircraft.

This is common practice for the Porter. The Pilot alters the prop pitch in order to not exceed VNE.

Hi, Roger

may I ask you, if you would attach your beautifull propblur, I lightened my alphas with the paint spraygun, itīs okay, but not as nice as yours.:jump:
Did you also just delete the VC-glass?

Cheers, Thilo

Hi Thilo,
The version I bought was the v2 which already had an FsX compatible model for download so I didn't change a thing. If you have v2 then you may be able to download the FsX version.

Roger you post some of the best screen shots I have ever seen, and the ones above are outstanding.
