Great video. I’m sold on this model just from watching this. I love flying to the smaller airports in Alaska and this seems like a great plane to do so.
Thank you for the very impressive presentation of the plane for the XP12. For me once again a very successful, entertaining and very informal little flight. Clear recommendation for me. 👋
appreciate the review! glad you find the value to still be present in v12. Still considering whether I will pay for this upgrade as the Hot Start TBM will be a free upgrade.
wish I'd known this existed before sinking hours into modding the MU-2 into something closer to my expectations edit: seems as of 2024 there's a bunch of bugs and the publisher provides no support. will hold off and see if they come back
Just picked this up. Agree it's a must have for XP. They must have fixed the fps issues in 1.7 as it runs great on my old 4790 + 6600XT. Barely any hit at all.
In the late 80s I flew the B-1900C for a small commuter airline. We didn't even have an auto-pilot, and obviously we used these little radio heads to nav from VOR to VOR. Flew that way for years, all the way to the 727 and 737. But not now! Why aren't you using the FMC in this airplane? Why go VOR to VOR? No airlines do this, we go GPS. Does this box not work? I don't get it.
Hi Q8! Could you please tell me how you were able to keep the CDI in the HSI bang on? It didn't move at all from its course heading. Did you use the autopilot to do that? Thanks.
Good morning from Spain. your tutorials are very good. It's a pity that they are not subtitled in Spanish, the second most spoken language. I have not been able to use it, I have installed as indicated but the installer does not download some files and closes the simulator
I have a question about x plane 12.1 beta? Can I reinstall Xplane 12, all my purchased planes are not responding since my update yesterday evening! I think VisualXP Ultimate has a conflict with the update. It seems like the sim hangs during the flight, and it barely responds to the control pulses! Can I reinstall the all new planes the Aerobask-DA62 , the king air 350, and the Beech Twin Bonanza D50B XP12? Before the update everything was fine and it was a pleasure to fly with these planes! It would be nice if there was an undo button if the new update gets you into trouble!
try turning shadows to medium. that plus ambient occlusion is a huge FPS draw, even moreso than render distance. your shadow tweak you posted a little while back caused me to lose 10-15FPS off the normal framerate, and I run a 5800x and an RTX4080...
Hard to deny it seems nice ( as the xp11 version was ), but 30$ for an update, which moreover is not optimized, is a no go for me. I mean...I would have bought the 172NG, which is a bit more expensive than the update, if the update had been free for existing customer, but here, I lost trust in AirfoiLabs currently....
I too bought their x-plane 11 version and if I recall there were issues with that plane that the developer never rectified, "study level" I don't think so. If I trusted Airfoilabs to at least maintain this plane I wouldn't mind a small upgrade charge for this plane, but 30 bucks, NOPE.
How is it not as complex as their C172? It's the only reason I was willing to purchase it. Does anyone suggest I invest in better scenery or the King Air 350?
The King Air is study level for sure. But some features are not present like the visualization of engine simulation. It is as complex as you want to be without a doubt.

Thank you for your words of encouragement and for watching!
Love this plane. If Xplane keeps bringing planes like these makes a even competitor with MSFS.
Great stream as always Q8! I absolutely love the sounds of this plane

Thanks for watching. You can't go wrong with AirfoilLabs. If you like GA aircraft, this one is a must in my view.

It is an excellent bird without a doubt. Thanks for watching and happy flying!

The box works perfectly. I normally ask the channel subs what navigation to use. It is educational for them.
Using GPS is boring 😉
Great Video
Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel!
I Always enjoy your videos this aircraft is very immersive

Very enjoyable my friend!.

Great review and a nice flight Capt Q8...
Keep up the great work...👍👍👏👏
Thank you my friend!
Great Video, thanks! One question: Where does the radio chatter come from? 😊
Thanks for watching. X-Atc chatter from stick and rudder studios.
Does this have wx radar? i did not saw you used?
Hi Osama! I'm sure you get asked this question a lot : What addons are you using besides ortho? I'm still hesitant to make the switch from XP11
Hi there, I am not using anything other than XPRealistic.
Can you make a video showing the best mods for xplane12?
I will plan this for a future video.
Will AirfoilLabs make the King Air for FS2020?
I seriously doubt that.
got electrical problems with airfoil labs products
hey q8 i see your xp11 settings in your discord. Any chance we could get your xp12 settings added?
Sure I will have those posted as well.
Gracias adquirí AirfoilLabs King Air 350 para XPlane 11,hay rebaja o descuento si adquiero para X Plane 12..Cordial saludo desde Bogota.
I think there is. Log in to your account and see if there is one on the original download page.
What was that opening intro song!?
It's from Artlist.io

Any news how to improve performance and eliminate stutters in MSFS and xp?
I posted a video for MSFS but it also works for XP12. Please see the channel for recent videos.
