Best twin ?

I am sure the gtn 750 integration is coming to the B60 piston soon.

It also seems the turbine duke has more repaints. Perhaps you could email Realair and ask if they're working on GTN 750 integration for the piston duke?

I did and was told maybe later this summer. I emailed yesterday late and got that answer early this morning and that tells me they really care about their product and customers.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Majestic Q400. It's technically a twin.

The Q400 is a fine airplane, and the majestic and equally good addon. But it seems the OP wanted a general aviation twin, and the Q400 is a transport/airliner. The largest thing I fly as GA is the Sukhoi 80, and that's really pushing it

Ahhh, yes, the plane is certainly not GA.

Holy cow! I was gonna buy the Carenado PC-12 today, but now I might go for the MU-2 instead :P

**TeiscoDelRay** · June 30th, 2015, 08:05

Funny that you mention it but I have been looking at that Majestic Dash 8 because it has weather radar option. I am not sure it I could use ASN with it though as it only mentions using the FSX weather.

Has anyone here got the Majestic Dash 8 pro?

**ncooper** · June 30th, 2015, 08:21

No one has the Pro or Training Editions yet.

**DaveB** · June 30th, 2015, 08:28

AFAIK.. the Pro edition is still in development. I've not been offered an upgrade yet.. not that I'd take it anyway. The 'Pilot' edition is quite enough thank you!

Yes, the pilot edition is MORE than enough. The system fidelity is excellent already, and certainly one of the best complex addons for FSX designed to date.

What's more.. you don't need a monster pc to run it on either. It runs just fine on my i5 2500K (3.3-3.7 unclocked)

I'm sure you'll be very happy with the Flysimware MU-2... It has much more systems depth than the PC-12. The 50% off is a great bonus!

Only problem is I've been wanting a PC-12 :P

***Craig Taylor*** · June 30th, 2015, 14:20

Don't forget that today is "10% Off Tuesday" at PC Aviator, which gives you an additional 10% off. Can't get much better than that!

I'm off to buy the MU!

**RyanJZ** · June 30th, 2015, 15:47

My favorite trick is sometimes I hold off for 3 months, then they send me a coupon, and I use that on a 10% tuesday for 20% discount! (or 70, like today :P)

I picked up the MU-2..thanks for your advice.

**StormILM** · June 30th, 2015, 16:46

I've got several, the Milviz B350i, Baron, the Razbam Metro, the now older PMDG J41, as well as the Flysimware C441 & MU-2B-60. I like all of them and fly them all quite a bit but to be honest, you can't really go wrong with any of them. Yes, the Metro and J41 were designed as commuters but I have seen a few in person which were used for charter and private use. Just a matter of looking over the options and then making a decision.

. . . to say nothing of the hot-off-the-press Carenado Navajo!

Personally I've never liked the looks of the Navajo. I've always much preferred the Cessna 400 family

Glad to help! I'm sure you'll enjoy the MU-2!

By the way, if your interested in the real MU-2B-60 Pilot's Operating Manual you can get it here:

Amazing simulation this one. The systems depth is very good as you indicated.

Appreciate all your advice.

And it's a beautiful model as well, although a repainter's undisputed nightmare...

Couldn't agree more in all aspects

What's about the Razbam Metroliner??
Any opinions about that one? Have considered to buy it more than one time...
