- The developers at FlightSim Studio AG have kindly reached out to me and sent an advance copy of their next aircraft in Flight Simulator - the Tecnam P2012. First impressions? It's very good. It's been developed in cooperation with a real-world P2012 operator, and includes demonstration videos from the real pilots, recorded during the work with the development team. I haven't been this impressed with a new plane for the sim in quite some time - and even though I'm not a huge fan of glass cockpits, I have to admit this one is seriously good.

I realised after watching it back - the baffles in the engine inlets are part of the pre-heating kit :)
Yay my guess was right!
🚨🚨🚨 everything works in the cockpit? including the alphanumeric keyboard near the throttle? the pilot 👩✈️ passes through the structure of the plane when you move the camera?
I have the Tecnam P2006 and it's one of the best planes in my hanger. One of my favorite things is whenever I get in the plane, switches are in different positions. Then the pre flight walk around is great. No other plane I have does all this. So seeing this Tecnam P2012 looks like the big brother of the 2006, it will be a definite buy for me. Nice modern planes.
This really is a stunning model. I'd have no hesitation spending money on this one.
I'm very excited about this one. Can't wait to do some Cape Air flying out of Boston around the Northeast US! We have some fantastic free addons available for Cape Air destinations for the sim.
True. Very enjoyable flights are possible with this aircraft.
What cape air routes are you using? I'd like to try a few
it is insane how accurate everything is made from the sounds to the visuals and the details
Can't wait to fly this one! These are my favorite types of planes.
First I’ve heard of this but wow, that just looks like good fun. Especially impressive because it’s still a pre-release version. Love the cargo modeling etc, very nice showcase.
This looks like a must-buy! I don’t know why, but I love cargo planes, of any size, really. There’s just something really cool about them.
I fly helicopters almost exclusively, but this plane looks really interesting. I have seen this exact plane flying low over Munich on several occasions this summer, those are scenic flights of Munich and the alps out of Augsburg.
Now this looks like something I'd really love to get my hands on. The modeling and texture sets are absolutely *EPIC* on this plane . I love the fact that this is also a dual purpose aircraft which supports a cargo configuration. Great video as usual!
Also has a Medevac variant, Skydiving, etc
The external model is stunning!
This is a must buy for me when it’s released…can hardly wait to use it in my OnAir company…perfect for air taxi use.
I truly thank you for the concistency of uploads.
Another must-buy for the simulator. It will fit well to Neofly because of cargo and passenger transport. Thanx for showing us this nice aircraft.
This one is definitely going on my to-buy list! Thanks for the review!
...a truly amazing aircraft indeed! ....anxiously waiting for it.
Looks lovely, like you not a great fan of glass but I could make an exception on this one ..
This was accidentally one of the best navigation tutorials I’ve seen. Thanks.
Glad it helped!
Really wonderful made and interesting aircraft. Did not knew it was in development. I have the Searey and P2006, both really well made. Ideal for those not wishing to fly annoying long flight with liners and at the same time experiencing all those free and pay wonderful airports that populate the MSFS world. Instant buy and probably one I will use wery much.
Really looking forward to this one.
cool livery! :)
That will fill a Twin Otter sized hole in my hangar! Secondhand ropey DH-6 anyone?
The number of high quality add ons is quite overwhelming at the moment! It's a nice problem to have though!
Looks Gorgeous 😍
Looks great
What a beauty. They have my money.
always curious why their P2006T didn't get more attention- reasonably priced and almost study level...
The P2006 is great, I been loving it.
Speaking for myself, the features and quality looked great, but the plane just didn’t interest me. A slow rotax high wing twin trainer seems quite boring to me.
This one though is flown commercially by Cape Air and is quite a bit faster, while carrying lots more. I’m into it!
28:58 - Props aren't used to slow an aircraft down in this way. Pulling the props back too far can stall (mechanically not aerodynamically) the engines at low manifold pressure.
That's almost a cut and paste of another comment :)
I'm still chewing on the Mitsubishi MU-2, but this is the next course on the menu.
Hi Jonathan, any chance you could do a revisit of this one sometime ? thanks for all your work
Definitely - I might even be flying it tonight in Australia (if I manage to get some time)
I wasn't all to impressed with the 2006, especially for the price.
I may get this one.....when it's on discount.
Sounds like it's got a few quirks with the audio like the ground roll sounds while taxiing being a bit excessive and very audibly clipping in. Also on takeoff the sound seemed to strangely pitch up suddenly and then back down. Other than that it looks great!
That's the EECS kickin in during takeoff
@@stairportsceneries1319 I thought it might have been a system like that too so I looked up a video of it taking off but it didn't make the sound like it did in this video. It's much more smooth IRL
I bought it, it's a great plane to fly and has a lot of nice features. However, I have issues with the Garmin G1000BXi, the CDI and Bearings buttons do not work, making the use of the autopilot a pain in the rear. Very disappointing.
They work for me !?
7:06 Having that external heater blower connected probably then resulted in the air intakes being blocked off?
Yep - I pinned a comment five minutes after recording about exactly that :)
Well they should thank you for selling me a plane :)
were you able to program prop feathering with your bravo? Can't seem to figure out how it works with this plane.
I don't have a Bravo.
When is this coming out, cos I'm picking it up lickety split.
I loved the Tecnam P2006T but what killed it for me was the god-awful side window views in the cockpit. They're way too low. And that DRONE noise. That god-awful drooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne. :D This looks to be an improvement but, yeah... money.
Does the Garmin keyboard work? I noticed you typing the airports in with your computer keyboard.
Yes.
Does the keyboard work on the console below the center screen?😊
Yes.
Looks very good ! Also looks quite fast though so I'm not sure my judgement of looks should be trusted :) I've never bought an FSS plane before, what are they like as a dev ?
Their products seem to be very high quality - very polished. The documentation is very good.
Free A320 V2 was released for Series X in Australia 10 00 AM CDT and it's amazing!!!!!!!!!!! @@jonbeckett
The dev is ok. It is a swiss team from Basel if I well remember with full access to the italian Tecnam factory . I have the Searey and P2006. Stunning well made modern aircrafts. They should be much more considered by the sim world.
There are a couple of good recommendations, thank you!
This module just hit the Marketplace, and it's broken. You can't start on the Runway. It's either cold and dark or ready for start. And I can't get it to take off.
Have you tried pressing CTRL+E ?
Can you review the recently released passenger 2 add on?
Maybe :)
How are you quick opening Little Nav Map?
ALT+TAB
Jonathan, you do realize that you can press NAV on the AP when the CDI is selected to VOR/LOC mode, and it will track towards the VOR automatically? It's just that you talked about tracking to a VOR, set up your freqs etc, but then left the AP in HDG mode. Seemed odd. Tracking towards VORs with the AP in NAV mode works great in the Working Title G1000 NXi. Also, when you said "This aircraft doesn't have reverse pitch". Actually no piston aircraft have reverse pitch. It's only turbo props and some radial engines that have sufficient torque to set the props into beta and not back-stress the engine. Finally, what you were doing with the props on finals wasn't correct at all. You don't pull prop levers back to such low RPMs at low speeds. They should be set to max for landing and speed/power controlled only with the throttles. I think you were confusing the high pitched sound of the props with 'power'. In a constant speed set up like this, the props will be a constant drone on approach, regardless of power level. I gulped when I saw how far back you pulled those props! In a real aircraft that could have cut the engines (very course blades with insufficient thust would cause too much drag on the engine, potentially dragging them to stop - a little like going into feathered while in the air). I hope you take this feedback in good faith. It's only given to improve your understanding, for your videos.
I know I'm not using the engines and propellers correctly - there's a pretty good reason for it though - I don't have levers for the propeller RPM, so have to look away to control them - which I often don't have time to do without losing control of the aircraft (especially the more accurately simulated ones - this one is a handful at low speed in cross-winds) :) The only way around it will be to get a Honeycomb Alpha quadrant, or something similar - I've seen them, but have been hesitant because they are a lot of money for a very cheaply made device.
And taken in good faith :) Knowledgeable feedback is always appreciated. One of the first things I had to do when the channel started picking up traffic was to get a very thick skin :) As it says at the top of the about page - I'm not a real pilot - and I doubt there are many real pilots around (except perhaps the late Eric Winkle Brown) that have flown as many types as we get to in the simulator - all without any ground school, or study. Something I have noticed however is the most veciferous critics have very rarely shared anything they have done with the community at all.
This would really have to stand out for me to consider it. Ive not liked the tecnam p2006
The performance is way over-tuned on this. Good luck getting 500 ft/min climb with a normal passenger load on a day higher than 30C. The roll rate should be about a third of what it is showing here, with full roll demand sometimes not being enough to counter a 15 knot gust. Additionally, once you set the throttles for takeoff, you leave them max until you are ready to land; power is adjusted by use of prop levers only as these engines have a pseudo fadec system. Also, the nose trim should be almost max down in level cruise with a CG within limits, and you should have to hold constant forward pressure on the yoke with full nose down trim to get it to descend. The plane also fails to do the traditional “Tecnam lean” on landing in which you have to jam a rudder pedal opposite direction to get the side that decided to have a sticky landing gear strut to finally compress and settle. Oh, and how did your fuel selector stay in place? Those screws that hold them in place (they don’t fall off, just become loose) often vibrate themselves out. I’m sure there are other issues with the accuracy of this add-on, but I’m only going to type so much haha.

P.S. Do not ask who I worked for, I left on good standing, but certain companies can be vindictive.
Any checklist for new a320 V2? 😁
I don't have it yet - I don't use the beta.
i really hope all these bad ass planes transfer to msfs2024 is all im saying lol
First 😂😂
Why is yours stuttering so bad? My Series X has zero stutter and is native 4K on 86" TV. PS. You are a day behind getting the Inibuilds A320 Neo V2 study version for Series X. Why??? You should have it by now. Oh wow it is amazing. I am stunned.
stutter is related to the amount of scenery addons, mp, ai traffic. me none, no stutter, its absolutely smooth
Capturing the screen puts a lot of extra stress on the PC. I don't have any fancy extra computers to capture the video feed :) On-screen while recording, it's smooth.
ok@@jonbeckett
