C208 Caravan!

Nah, you can fly the bigger things too. In fact, you should, to keep your skills sharp. Too many sim pilots are AP on at 500 and off and 500, and when they get on places like VATSIM it shows.
But you're definitely closer to the machine in these little GA tubs. Kind of like driving a manual.
@jmarkows smaller the plane, lesser the power, more the skills required to maneuver around a difficult terrain. Sure one can handfly a tubeliner, but wheres the fun when its engines put it into god mode against mother nature

I wish Nick branched out into radial engines.
Imagine a golden age propliner like a DC-3, or a DC-6 developed by someone who cares about their products.
Best of both worlds and the sim doesn't have nearly enough of them. Few things are as satisfying as the proper care and feeding of four P&W Double Wasps.

@jmarkows i couldn’t agree more. Even a dhc2 from Blacksquare will be a boon to mankind. I really hope Nick takes up some radial someday

@jmarkows Radials are cool and definitely a big step up, but if Nick will ever go this route, he should ditch the engine health in percentages and implement a proper wear and tear per cylinder just like A2A, I think it's the only way to make them justice.

@SadBucket otter is already coming from blackbird. Slow or fast depends on what you intend to do with them. These planes have their charm due to their speeds as well amongst other things.

@django1489 tbh I’d much rather have an Otter from Black Square(or A2A). Blackbird makes good add ons but they don’t just don’t hit that next level of detail and feel that Black Square and A2A manage.
Plus that project has been going on for multiple years, they definitely seem to prioritize military aircraft these days

@jasmits speaking pragmatically, Nick will want to take up those projects only to whose actual models he has access in real. Saves on time and expenses. Now wherever he stays, only he can tell which planes with radial engines (if any) are flying around.

@django1489 Yeah, A2A too. That’s a big part of why their products feel so much more real than anyone else

@Voice-of-Reason @Black-Square hello! Any updates please?

@django1489 Release is fairly imminent and we're looking at next week. An exact date will be revealed quite soon. Hope that helps for now.

@Voice-of-Reason you sir are a very reasonable man. Much thanks
. I might have a problem lol. Have a feeling the Caravan is going to add to these numbers!
