    Your 170B was my favorite aircraft in MSFS 2020 and I continued to fly it over the past year in MSFS 2024 ...it always put a smile on my face flying in the Alaskan bush. While I have only spent a couple of days with the 180, I can tell I am going to be enjoying it as much as the 170. Thank you for your most excellent work!

    Thanks! The 170B was the first airplane I made for MSFS and this was my opportunity to improve on many things now that I have 5 years of experience working with the sim. I tried to keep all the good parts like the ability to fly slow and land off airport.

    The only thing I am missing is the dirty paint job and more worn interior. Great flying, very enjoyable. Thanks again.

    Thanks for the wonderful add-on! Quick question, is the plane supposed to start violently vibrating on the roll axis near to and beyond the max speed? It kinda gets nauseating in VR

    Took it for a quick lap around Milford Sounds NZ and it's another winner from Sal1800. Looking forward to taking this out on group bush flights.

    Ms2024 is junk. It has a bad review score because of the forced online streaming scenery, horrible AI voices and dumpster fire broken career system. No thanks.

    Outstanding! A quality plane and done VERY well. I look forward to it's improvements and continued love like the wonderful T206H.

    Not sure if it is supposed to happen, but at faster speeds but still well under Vne, the wings waggle significantly. Also, are their future plans to support other instrument configurations like your 206?

    A nice new years treat!

    I hope you don't mind me saying but I LOVE your C206 but wanted to use different sounds. I used the usual transplanting method of changing the sound reference in the aircraft.cfg file for hte C206. It works in all other aircrafts that I've done this with but, no matter what transplanted sounds I try, the C206 is always silent.

    Any idea why?
