Does this set a new standard for GA in MSFS, in fact for Flightsim in general? Great addition from Milviz.
a new standard ? i mean the first accusim aircraft came out in 2008
then you have the hotstart TBM and Challenger ...
@@mro9466 a new standard….for MSFS
Old 310 sparky here. In the seventies I worked on, taxied, and flue in the right seat of nearly every new CESSNA 310. The first time I heard this Milviz start up on RUclips I just had to have one. I have lots of stories from my days with Cessna. Just a teaser: Nearly every Cessna twin that left Wichita on an eastbound delivery flight had both wing lockers filled with Coors beer. Back then Coors was not sold east of the Mississippi, at least not legally. 😊
That’s actually a really cool story. Should compile a few of then and put them up online somewhere
That's amazing thank you for sharing that with us
What a great demonstration and commentary, Mark. Very smooth, and informative. Interesting that you grew up in Africa and canoed the Zambesi River. I felt like I was there flying with you.😄
Agree. An effortless, enjoyable demo flight.
Best takeoff and touchdown I’ve seen with this model thus far. Well done. And so glad you compared it to the SWS Kodiak (and other planes) as this provides a tangible reference for comparison. It’s been a pleasure watching the video, as always. Thank you.
A wonderful demonstration of what is the best GA aircraft to date! An instant buy. Very entertaining and I enjoyed the local knowledge. Take care!
Wow😮 what a great review! Honestly speaking this is the best Cessna 310 review I've seen so far. It is also one of the best I've ever come across in sim flights and I must say kudos to you for work well done! I can't go without mentioning the wonderful scenery of the African jungle which was good for a change. The sight of a 310 landing in a bush airstrip was terrific. Keep up the good work brother!
I got this recently but it’s mostly been sitting in my hanger while I explored other new planes. But, thinking about it recently, and seeing this fine video I’m going to dust it off and get comfortable with this fine addition to the sim. I’ll have to crank up the sound to appreciate all that sonic detail.
Got it the other night. Still learning how to fly and your comment about approach speed around 110 knots is very helpful!
This has become my top 3 favorite planes to fly. Im doing a cross country trip in usa in this plane starting in florida ending in seattle.this plane responds so well its a blast to fly. Had to practice landing a few times until i got used to it. It drops like a rock just kept power up until i touched down no problems landing after i got used to it. Also love the wear and tear and dirt buildup and cabin temperature features it adds some elements of realism that enhances the experience. I give this plane a 10/10
Agreed 10/10 👍
Just bought it. A great plane with outstanding engine sounds. Love the details. 😊👍I also had this for FSX and was one of my favorite planes there.
Very well done Milviz. I would expect nothing less after your terrific PC-6 Porter and can't wait to see how the upcoming SR-71 Blackbird turns out.
I enjoyed your trip down memory lane Mark - thanks for sharing. As far as canoeing with the Lions, Hippos, Crocs etc - you're braver than me!
LOL, Milviz also have a DHC-2 (Beaver) in the works for MSFS, now that will be something! One of my favourites.
@@SimHangerFS A DHC-4 (Caribou) would be good too. :-)
Terrific flight and presentation of this awesome aircraft, love the stories of your adventures in Africa!
Looks and seems to function as good as official planes. Really promising to see 3rd party content can be this good. Would love to see you do Milviz's Corsair!
The official planes that come with the purchase of any particular version of FS2020 are all okay for what they are but they tend to have pretty simplified flight and system modeling (for the sake of being a accessible experience for the widest possible number of players). There are also some other third parties that tend to gravitate in that direction (to varying degrees) with Carenado being a reasonable example. Their stuff is high quality for what it is but you are not exactly going to get a full fidelity sim experience.
Right now, the Just Flight Arrows and Warrior, PMDG's offerings, Wing42's addons, and the Milviz 310 are good examples of more realistic, higher overall fidelity addons that are going to be more appealing to the full simulation experience crowd.
Great review on this Mark, I bought it and i absolutely love flying this baby!!
I still fly it every week 👍 best ga in sim in my opinion!
Thank you Mark, I've had the MilViz 310 before in Prepar3D and just picked it up for MSFS 2020. It's well done. :)
Awsome review, I also lived in Zimbabwe, or at the time Southern Rhodesia. Waterskied regularly at Lake Mcllwaine and Kariba in the early 70’s. Loved the flight over the dam. I wrestled somewhat with the altitude vert speed in this aircraft and soon discovered what not to do with failures set on, poor dear gets stressed quit easily. I wondered how in one review the guy was doing loops and rolls. Obvious now. Thanks for the flight
I trust your opinions on the virtual aircraft you fly. I bought this on the strength of your review. Thank-you.
Still my favourite GA today. 😀
Also you can activate a bobblehead if you click on the top bar of your cockpit armature, slightly above the Garmins. Looks awesome. Thanks for the video!
Mark, thanks for the great review paired with an excellent flight through Zimbabwe.
I had been following the development of the 310R since I first hear about it, and it was an easy day-one purchase once they announced the cost. I had been flying the JF Turbo Arrows almost exclusively since they were released.
I've only had one flight so far, and so far I love this aircraft. That flight was mostly a learning experience working through the (excellent) checklists, but I had a lovely flight taking off from Huntsville, Alabama and flying south toward Birmingham and Montgomery. I'm really looking forward to spending some flight hours in this one.
I am also using the Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo and noticed the problem with VS mode that you mentioned at about 15:48.
Thank you for the creative and thorough review!
Thank you for an excellent demo of this wonderful new addition to MSFS. A must buy for anyone who enjoys low n slow flying.
Great video, thanks! Can't wait to get my hands on this airplane
i'll buy it for sure , nice video as always
I have this aircraft Mark, it’s stunning very immersive I favour the owned option with the various reliabilities enabled to add reality, I am really enjoying this aircraft. Thanks for the usual high quality presentation. Cheers for now Charlie
Yeah, a great aircraft.
Just baught this Aircraft a few hours ago and I simply Luvvvv it so far sooo good and hope there is support for when Msfs makes things rubbish. oh I willl never ever purchase a Carenado Aircraft again.. Thank You for a good review and always informative.
Another Awesome Video sorry I baught the Carenado Seneca V cause msfs SU 9 has made a rather mess of it . This I think would make a better add on but atm I shall wait and see what the next Update does to me Sim I do hope better things.
Thank you for an excellent Video and highlighting Zimbabwe and Zambia. I wish we could get a World Update for this region to fix the Victoria Falls as well as some Landmarks and to improve some Airports. Once again thank you for the Video.
Agreed, a world update for Africa is well overdue 👍
Bought it, really like it !!!
Bought it, love it.
Still in my top three aircraft 👍
Great video, the 310 is great and I flew it in real life but for me it's the 414!
The 414 is also a great step up for MSFS 👍
so temping to buy it , however will wait and see what the may 17 th update has in store and now my sim works after the SU9 Hot Patch although was a rough begining but ok now.
Oh like a lot!
Thanks for the video and review Mark. I am just about to purchase the aircraft but trying to decide if there are any differences between direct from Milviz or whether to purchase via market place. The cost is about the same. Any thoughts? Thanks again enjoyed the video and am already subscribed to your channel..
My preference is marketplace, so you automatically get updates, but the negative is you wait about 6 weeks longer for the update.
@@SimHangerFS Thank you that answers the question nicely. Market place it is purely for convenience. Waiting a little for updates is not really an issue for me.
I have bought it, love it. I sent them an email, would like more realism with Engine and Oil Temps warm up time.
Excellent review Mark, it’s a serious contender to buy, don’t have the twin otter or the Kodiak either. If you had to choose one which would you recommend to buy between the three ?
Very difficult choice as all three are unique in their own way. TwinOtter for short fields AMD cargo hauling, Kodiak for longer trips and more modern instrumentation and 310R for general GA flying.
Despite The Msfs AP being rubbish in the 310 I did this flight and it was very good. ( since the msfs was rubbish I flew the equally as good Kodiak and did the same route and no problems.)
I think not to use Nav mode in msfs only hdg and alt is the key.
Yes :)
abit better in SU10 but better fly it in the general dircetion and when on couse then set the autopilot
You could become a real pilot another Splendid Video Thank You
Thanks, I used to fly GA, but that was 20 years ago 😀
@@SimHangerFS me as well
It’s a nice plane. I’m enjoying it. The 414 from flysimware is nearly as nice.
Thanks for comparing to the 414. It’s good to know as I’m torn between the one and the other. I’m leaning toward the 414 at the moment since it features a nice autopilot mode panel which makes it easier to use (and see) when flying VR, but I haven’t pulled the trigger on it due to it being in beta and not knowing whether the remaining quirks will be resolved to my satisfaction. Then again, I’m attracted by the state-aware features of the 310R. Either way, I must say it’s nice to have options!
@@aerofart the AP is really going to be identical on both. The graphic representation of the 414 is different but under the hood, they’re making it function as the one that’s in the 310 because it just works. It’ll work better with the mods as well wtt for example. The systems modeling on the 310 is superior at the moment. But the 414 is quite a bit bigger, and faster. And the sounds should be as good soon.
@@bluesfool1 yes, I’m aware under the hood the AP is the same, that’s why I was referring to the big-button UI/panel on the 414. I also like the fact that the 414 is faster and probably has a better glide ratio. Decisions, decisions …
@@aerofart you’ll really enjoy either one! 👍
@@bluesfool1 thanks for letting me know! 👍👍👍
I dont know if you are a pilot in Real Life or not but that 2000ft/min rate of descent would leave everyone with a huge ear pain in a non pressurrized aircraft and is even an extremely unstable approach, once you find yourself that high on the short final, Better go around and join in the traffic pattern for a new and hopefully stable approach!
The problem I have with twins, not all, but especially this one, is that the engines block out much of the side views. This is a shame when flying VFR and want to take in the scenery. looks like a great plane all the same.
Anyone using a Honeycomb Bravo…is it possible to feather props using detents?
By default they go past the white line and into feather without moving them down into the detents on my Bravo. They should stop at the top of the white line and only go past the white line and into the feather position when the levers are in the detent…correct?
Hopefully Mark can give us a nice quick video on how it's done, like he did with the Kodiak!
Was going to buy this aircraft, but as PMDG 737-700 will be released on 9th of May, I’ll get that one instead !
great now i have to spend more money....LOL. Great video Mark.
Any idea if the add on is turbocharged. Excellent video!
No it is not the turbo version.
@@SimHangerFS perfect thanks. I went ahead and subbed! Great content.
Thank you for a great review. I am not clear about the GPS options. Are they installed or do you have to buy a subscription?
Hi, yes sorry I should have clarified…the Asobo options are default with the aircraft, the TDS and other GTN750 options are payware and you purchase them separately. There is a freeware option as mentioned in the video.
ohhhhhhhhhhhh looks like this area connects to victoria falls am thinking of gettinb victoria falls the new version hmmmmm
It’s the same version as put out by jeppeson previously.
@@SimHangerFS then I can fly from the area you flew in in the 310 to this new area Ill think about .
@@SimHangerFS oh
@@SimHangerFS SIGH
Hi Mark, nothing like going back to your roots. How do you rate this bird for getting in and out of stol airports? Speed no issue?
No this is not a suitable aircraft for STOL. Needs too much runway .
Bought and downloaded this yesterday, still feeling too nervous to take it up for my first ride. Which explains why I'm binge-watching RUclips videos of the 310R. My poor Samsung is huffing and puffing and making smoke already.
🤣 take her up….you’ll love it!
You know if you cleaned it before it would have been 2 or 3 kilos lighter all the dirt come on Mark great vid thumbs up
🤣😂
Anyone having issues with the Milviz 310 and the trim wheel not working correctly with either honeycombe trim wheel or even mouse in sim.
Hi, is there a way to bind Honeycomb Bravo to feather the props?
ruclips.net/video/Yv1JRURqqaU/видео.htmlsi=JrxzDwTnuZ44k5Tx
Where to buy this cessna 310 please my market place doesn't show. Thanks
Hi Mark, excellent video again. A question for you . Between this Cesna 310 and the Cesna 414 from Simwork, which one do you prefer ? My budget is telling me to choose one only 😉
That’s a difficult choice! Personally I would opt for the 310, but honestly there is not much between them.
Thanks Marc, another great review. Have you experienced any faults yet? How realistic is the engine temp management?
There are a few graphical anomalies, but they are minor, you wouldn’t notice them unless you were looking for them. Engine temp management is a bit off….static….but Milviz have noted this at time of release. Update coming in next week or so.
@@SimHangerFS thank mate, much appreciated
was wondering is this flight in Little Nav Map ??
Yes, depart KVKB then over Kariba Dam wall, then follow river north to FVCD (Chirundu Airport).
Are you Rhodesian?
Born in Kenya, lived in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe for much of my life 😀
Is it available in the Marketplace?
Not yet…but coming
Where can it be purchased?
Ken, link in the description below 👇 the video
Nice video however I can see that you are not a real pilot! On piston engine airplanes you do not feather the props on shut down!
That is only done on PT6 powered airplanes. As a real pilot for 50 years plus and time in the real 310R Of only about 500 hours.
This is a pretty good representation of the C310 R!
I am an ex ga pilot (some 20+ years ago), not nearly as many hours as you have. Having 500 hours in the C310 must have been awesome. I have 0 hours in twins. I was not actually demonstrating a shut down proc in this video, just pulling my levers on the bravo all the way back. If you watch the video in detail you will notice a number of things you wouldn’t actually do (willingly) in the RW, including a less aggressive descent profile etc. This is a review of the virtual aircraft in sim, nothing more. I appreciate your comment however.
