    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

              A DHC2 with Nick's attentions would be fabulous. 🙂
              He would probably even have a radial and turboprop version to have fun with.

                @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.

                    +1 for beaver or otter, mind you they're very slow

                      @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.
