Beechcraft B1900D

[lowglow]

Any good B1900D's for FSX available with NZ repaints?

[Ian Warren]

Chris , the best and only would have to be the PMDG 1900 , originally FS9 but works well in FSX

[deeknow]

For a freebie you can't go past the PAD model, has an Eagle livery:

For payware there's only one option, its the PMDG model which is an FS9 model with a FSX tweak, panel and VC look a little aged these days but its still a cracker really, see:
http://www.precisionmanuals.com/pages/product/b1900d.html

Most of our lads at vANZ run the PMDG model, myself included, love it

[lowglow]

Mmmm I have tried the PAD model don't like it and as you say the PMDG model is lacking aswell, bout time someone built a new FSX model

[deeknow]

Ok, sorry to have helped :-)
thats as good as it gets at the moment sorry

You don't need to be sorry, I appreciate your help. I guess I will go for the PMDG model.
What about a Dash 8
I am trying to collect aircraft that are seen in thr Marlborough region (just to keep the addiction under control)

[Ian Warren]

PMDG do have one in the pipeline , but held off waiting for further information .. sorta went cold turkey

[lowglow]

The Majestic Software model sounds good?

[Ian Warren]

Chris , Next time in town , stop by again , ill get the PMDG installed , from there will give you a better idea

[lowglow]

Sounds good to me Ian. I am going to be in Chch on Sunday but I only have four hours to spare and then I fly back to Blenheim so I probably won't be able to catch up then.

[Ian Warren]

Best i get the 1900 installed just incase

[lowglow]

Yep

[Ian Warren]

All else fails , least you can check out my GA AG plane .. but one to look at would be the Stearman

Chris, yeah once again we have an older model in the form of the Majestic, its as good as it gets at present, is showing its age and the FMC is a bit weak, other systems seem good, good fun to fly. Not sure how loaded you are but the "Pilot" edition will probably satisfy you.
Like Ian am really interested to see if PMDG do ship one eventually, but assuming thats a wee way off

So do you have a preference for the Dash 8 deeknow.
Ian I don't think catching up this time will be an option maybe but maybe not, our turn to visit familly so we will be down for a weekend not too far away.

Yeah as I say its really only the Majestic. I have the pilot edition, its great considering its age.
Their advanced editions are used for pilot training apparently as have lots of systems failures modelled etc, a lot of $$$ tho

[Adrian Brausch]

yea the FSQuality/Majestic Dash 8 -300 is still really good for its age and is still probably the most used model in my FS hangar. I've got some new replacement wavs for it that add a bit more life to it as well should you purchase it..

I've just installed this one - to get some screenshots for NZFSIM ... it's really not bad at all!

Ethan Ward repainted the whole vANZ fleet. Search for vanz_b1900d_fleet.zip on flightsim.com. For FSX. you may want to grab the prop texture from b19manx.zip (from PAD).
