These are my 3 favourite General Aviation piston twins. Not only are they all good on frame rates but the night VCs are are as good as the daytime.

From left is the Digital Piper Cheyenne, Carenado's new Seneca and the excellent RealAir Beech Duke.

Anyone any other suggestions of their favourites in this category??

I think Eaglesoft has a twin Comanche, gets pretty good reviews if you search the various forums:

Hi Ryanbatc - i have considered the Com but I just cant see any pics of it in FSX - only FS9, I did own it before in FS9 so am a bit reluctant to pay again without seeing how much better it is.

Right now my favs are Carenado's new PA-34 Seneca, Eaglesoft's PA-30 Twinkie (one of the best VC's out there), and OZx's great new redux of the Goose... :ernae:

The Duke and Duchess are on my list...

Aside from the usual FSX texture improvements, I'd say it's equally as good in FSX as it was in FS9, which is bloody good. :engel016:

I still think the Realair Duke with the GNS430 equipped is the best twin (prop) available for FS. :medals:

Sounds like a must buy - cheers Nick :ernae:

In no particular order:

1. Just Flight Dutchess
2. Carenado Seneca
3. RealAir Duke

If you are talking about overall visual appearence and systems modelling then the three best GA twins (regardless of cost) in my book are:

1. Digital Aviation - Piper Cheyenne
2. Eaglesoft - Piper Comanche
3. RealAir - Duke

I've been considering the Carenado Seneca. However I'm not really sure how good it actually is. There seems to be a fair few comments, on various forums, as to how buggy it is. I've also tried the demo of the Just Flight Duchess and I'm afraid it's just not for me. As part of the Flying Club 2 package it might be a nice addtion but I certainly would'nt go out and purchase the single aircraft. The VC textures are simply nowhere near the quality of the three aircraft I've listed.

I think - having now bought the Eaglesoft Commanche that the VC is lacking in textures - some bits look blank. I spent a good few hours in RW Senecas I can say that the VC textures replicate the real thing.
