Not sure if you know this, but when you remove the control lock you can actually place it on the left side behind the seat in a little holder! And then when you want to put the lock back you just remove it from there and place it back.
There is not only mantenaince facility there. It is also buildt there, like all Pilatus aircraft. However we have no snow on the ground. Only on mountains over 1000 mt. Asobo put snow everywhere like if we where in Alaska.
There's a lot to like about it, but respectfully I think the flight model still needs a few tweaks. Pull the pusher circuit and throw it in a 30 degree bank near stall speed and pull the yoke and it just floats like a leaf. Pretty cool aircraft overall though.
@@rdablock 100% agreed but other aircraft have been able to model basic stalls and spins using the default model. I agree with you and don't meant to be too critical of sws here. The aircraft is well done and shows a lot of passion.
Aircraft is beautiful and full of detail, but yeah the flight model needs fixing pretty badly. Seems like with future improvements it could be a great overall aircraft.
TBF in addition to my previous comment the veering to the right is due to a change from ground handling to flight modelling, nice of Devs to not mention it anywhere until video late yesterday where its a tough we carn't change it, its problem with the sim although ive never heard other devs complain about it but what do i know. Been flying more today with revised flight control settings it feels better but its still feels heavy and sluggish perhaps some devs can explain what the settings should be to align with the flight modelling.
All i can say is i was looking forward to this greatly but tbh im very disappointed with it for number of reasons some of them maybe my setup or how the plane is setup but its no fun to fly at all. 5-10kts above VR for me on various dry runways it develops a very sudden and sharp moment right which is extremely difficult to control as the steering is too sensitive on the ground. You can negate this by rotating before VR and you dont see this it maybe a wheel friction cfg issue. Its very heavy and sluggish in normal flight. I reset all controla to default 0 linear but theres nothing in manual which says what they should be. ive just watched numerous PC-12 RL cockpit vids on YT for last few hours and they are flying by barely touching the controls, its very clear from the vids i know its not the same but its clearly too diffrent in the sim. I need almost full deflection to make it even begin a turn or climb in anyway. Compared to the TBM and FSR500 its a bus so either they are very nimble/wrong or this is wrong. I even installed an app to show the controls positions with values to see what they were doing and the controls are correct but plane response is awful. The plane looks great and systems work well once they fixed the GPS not appearing properly, blows my mind they can test this but they don't notice GPS don't appear properly which i noticed in about 10 seconds, go figure. If the fsim plane does fly real to life then most other planes in msfs clearly dont as they are light and day between them. It clearly lacks some form of crash detection also as you can bounce along the fields fine at >100kts and it does nothing ? Spent a very frustrating day looking at this and carnt be bothered with it anymore. I look at it in couple months had enough of it for one day trying understand what the hell it was doing. Has great visibility easily best of any of the TurboPs shame it flies like a dog. Also for such a complicated supposed real to life aircraft the manual is poor. You have download a PC-12 POH to work out what alot of the settings should be for most phases of flight. It has performance tables but you can bearly read them.
Dude Im having the exact same experience as you. I think this aircraft has great potential with future fixes to the physics/flight modeling. Right now it feels awful to fly.
Seems like another premature release. I'm not interested in the potential of an aircraft after fixes. I only see what the release state is. And this looks like it could have used another 4 months of polish. Oscilating AP controls, a barber pole that doesn't come down... how did this ever get a release approval?
Love this one. It's great flying around with you, Emanuel. One request: when you post your flights would you consider noting the departure and arrival airfields and their ICAO codes? I'm sure those who do like to fly along would appreciate it. Great content; well done.

I have the Carenado version of this aircraft. It does move the red striped bar in the airspeed indicator and that gives you the "Mach limit". It might be one of the things, that will get fixed.
I enjoy your detailed walk throughs - quick but not too quick, and generous time spent showing which switches/buttons (and where). As i watch these i mentally build a flow, which is a subtle part of my achieving immersion. Thank you.
Which sensitivity setting are you using on the yoke? Default by MSFS has been -30, but this plane require to set it to 0 meaning fully linear. Otherwise the yoke travel on my hardware is unrealistic for soft adjustments.
I was so lucky to be invited to do a testflight with a 2 seater lightwing AC4 aircraft from Buochs, they have their factory right next to Pilatus. Actually fun fact: that public road has a traffic light that is radio controlled, so before you cross you need to tune the correct frequency to stop the car traffic. Beautiful area great views over Lucerne.
Hi Emanuel, great video thanks! To take care of those pesky handlers always being in the way, I always just use slew mode at the very beginning to get out of their way.
I find that the autopilot is a bit finicky when trying to engage it. On climb out, I would hit the AP on with NAV, but then it would disconnect immediately. AP on, AP disc. This goes on for like 10 presses until it finally stays on. That's the last thing I want to be fighting on a climb out at 1000ft. Have you experienced anything like this?
I occasionally see this with all kinds of APs in the sim when using the AP OFF command previously to disconnect it. The internal AP seems inhibited then. A second push of the AP OFF switch fixes it then.
I think you have to push the pusher disconnect on the yoke and then release the pusher test button and the push the disconnect button on the yoke again.
Although it looks great, I will wait until the expansion pack. Not a big fan of aircraft that are just a shell (No failures or Wear/Tear, and/or state saving). I like your name better when it was 737NG Driver. I'm also German so I have to complain about something.
Totally agree if the real thing flies like this which i doubt why the hell would you buy one? The RL cockpit videos yoke control inputs are tiny to make the aircraft manoeuvre but in the sim i have use full deflevtion to even start a turn. Something very weird is going on. I dont want to be critical but its just a dog atm.
Can the engine guages in themiddle of the panel be popped out and put on another screen. This is why I did not really fly the other pc12 because I could not put those guages on a second screen to see easier.
Reddit is always hypocritical, it has bugs, that is out of question, but which new release does not? The only annoying one I was aware of was the barber pole not animating and that’s been fixed in the meantime. I would absolutely recommend the PC12.
had the same issue, delete the SWS PC12 file in you community folder and then reinstall from SWS website. your orders tab on SWS''s website should indicate an update. very important that you delete your PC12 folder before trying to reinstall. unfortunately the installer doesn't automatically get rid of the old files and install new ones so that's up to you
I don't recall if it was mentioned by sim work studios or not, but do you have to maintain the plane similar to the A2A planes such as adding oil, fixing parts that might have broken etc? I have not yet purchased this plane yet, but I plan to do so over the weekend.
@@HaraldLabout Do you know if that would be a free update for the failures and possible maintenance? or a whole new package to buy? if the 2nd option, then perhaps I"d wait for that to come out that way I don't buy the same product twice.
@@ChrisLyon567 separate payed package according a message in there discord. This is done to lower the price of the current available package for people who don't care about a failure system in there airplane and just want to fly a beautiful airplane.
@@HaraldLabout Thanks. I'll guess the release for that will be around 2024 time frame, so I"ll wait for that to release as I like any new plane I purchase to be as realistic as possible. That includes failures, needing to maintain the plane and all that.
Thank you for the review, so many bashing comments on different forums, nothing beats a video.. Are you aware of your vocal ocd ? « Ok cool » « ok » every x minutes 😂
