Beechcraft B1900D and B1900C

I bought the 1900C, because - it seems - it's more detailed than the D. The latter seems to use more or less default gauges and is "simpler" in general. You ask why the price is the same? Good question. Anyway, I love the "C" to be honest, no complaints.

I originally got the 1900C for the same reason. It has custom Collins gauges. When I saw that the virtual airline I fly for used the 1900D, I got it also. While it uses some default gauges, its flight characteristics are just enough different to make you believe you are flying a newer version of the plane.

Either one is very satisfying to fly and a degree in rocket science is not required to set the plane up to fly.

Okay, thanks a lot for the replies!

Just out of interest, what are the actual differences between the two planes? Does the D have a longer range, better fuel efficiency etc?

Is it worth having both do you think?

Thank you once again, JTH!

The 1900D has a redesigned wing with small winglets and probably a few extra horsepower.

Take a close look at the panel views on PMDG's web site and see which appeals to you more. Unless you have some specific need, getting both probably isn't necessary.

The D has a stand up cabin(a person could stand up inside of it), it has stronger engines, and newer avionics. I have the C and I love it. 😀

The D was my first payware add-on and at that time I loved it. But now, anything bigger that a Cessna that I fly has to be more complex. That is where PMDG lacked on these two. But that is why your only paying $15. But PMDG had excellent products whether there the Express of Mainline fleet.

I agree, but it is a great plane for $15.
