For some simmer Flight1's Pilatus PC-12 might be too framerate demanding, I got F1's PC-12 a while ago, although the aircraft is definitely beautifully designed and built, I have to say its one of the best sim aircraft out there on the net, but the problem for me was that it ate too much of my framerate because of its complexity. Fortunately I was able to get my money back and deleted from my system. Then I found this PC-12:

After I installed, I found some bugs in panel.cfg, in the 2D cockpit of the VC model, both 2d and 3d showed up when you look out the windows, so I made some modifications in panel.cfg, now it turned out to be a fantastic aircraft, very framerate friendly. Pilatus lover may want to check this out.... 🙂

If you want the corrected cfg file, I can send to you.

Bah it still looks like freeware. The F1 Pilatus is night and day compared to that. I never really had a problem with mine.

well, when I said addons, I meant all kinds of evironment addons, like terrain mesh of different continents, landclass files of different countries, F1's UT, FE, GE, Water, Active Sky, world buffer terrain mesh, over 200 AI GA planes flying in my virtual sky, and so on,....all these things run at the same time and make my virtual world realistic and beautiful, for a cost of course, that is the framerate, so I have to manage my hardware resources very carefully to balance with my addons....
I only have not more than 10 payware aircraft in my hanger, i only fly 2-3 aircraft regularly, I modified most of them to meet my standards.....
