PMDG Beech 1900C

Anybody have this aircraft? If so, what do you think? Is it worth getting or should I save my money for something else?

I don't have it (cos it's not in a boxed version and i never buy off the net) but it does look impressive.  I have the 737NG, and if that's anything to go by, it should be a fantastic product if you are into turboprops.

I've had it since it's release and I love it. I posted a few piccies of it here. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1112208905
(sorry if the piccies aren't that good)
Everything with the package is very high quality. The autopilot is modled a lot better than on the 1900D and it's got some neat touches like the moveable sun visors in VC.

Let me put it this way...

You get PMDG quality in their budget line for a very inexpensive price. Its fun to fly and you get a freight, a cargo and a passenger version. That and the repaints on their website are auto installs so no ac cfg finagling, etc.

Worth the price of admission of a movie ticket and a small drink without popcorn

Alrihgty then! I will get it soon.....


Thanks guys.

I thought the 1900D didn't have an autopilot???

I have it.... Pretty impresive actually, Flys great for Short to medium range flights, and does good at higher altitudes, its a very good choice  ;D (I really test the planes I get with its max range or more) Cheers! Gunny

O.K.

I'm pretty jazzed about the plane, I've flown about 1.5 hours in it already. Now I have to wait for the paint kit to be available (hopefully sometime before it snows again....) so I can make it look like the picture in my sig.

I have to make:

N575A
N575F
N575G  (Cargo, Same paint scheme, but no black or windows)
N575P
N575X
N575Y
N575Z

All are identical looking (if you don't know them as well as I do) except for Golf, which has a white vertical stab, cowls and fuselage bottom. I think that X-Ray has its rudder back from Yankee (they were switched last summer for maintenance reasons I believe, and the emblem on the tail didn't line up exactly)

Hi Yurei,

The paintkit is available from PMDG now.

When I get the time to finish (moving house) I've got a couple I want to up load as well.
