Commander 114
-
While I was looking for info via ChatGPT about the Blacksquare Turbo Commander, it said there is also a Rockwell Commander 114 under development. I asked ChatGPT about the TC varient and it didn't have much to say. I strongly urge that the TC variant be included, as I owned a 112 that was upgraded to a third-party turbonormalizer. This upgrade was a game changer for the 112 as this increased the service ceiling significantly. It was still a dog during climb as it only had a IO-360 vs the IO-540 in the 114.
Nevertheless, I'm VERY excited to see a 114 sometime in the future (if ChatGPT was correct), as I loved flying the 112. Very forgiving landings with the trailing-link gear and a nice-flying airplane.

Indeed, it is correct! You can see the early renders here, but an update is long overdue. The aircraft is essential done now, with the exception of sound. I recorded sound from a turbonormalized 114 this past September, and Boris will begin work very soon. The 114 will be my next aircraft released, which I'm expecting to be this June or July. I've had a lot of fun developing some new immersion features and unique avionics for it, so I'm glad you're looking forward to it! Yes, it will include the aftermarket turbonormalizing package, three-blade scimitar propeller, and optional electric air conditioner too.
