That's a nice plane.  I picked it up Saturday night.  Here's a link to some picks I took.

I'm reluctant to pay for such a basic aircraft, what it really is, is a just a good exterior, but it has no advanced instruments/FMS...however flight dynamics is good according to my friends. I'm eagerly waiting for PMDG's 744  Wink

Comes at a cheap price at some 14 bucks but still... Grin

The gauges are a bit disapointing, but if you own Reality XP gauges or have someother cool gauges, they are easy to edit.  The rest of the aircraft is pretty cool.  The B1900 is just a King Air on steroids.  There is really not a whole lot to the real aircraft gauge wise.  Granted PMDG could have gone all out and created custom gauges, but that would have jacked the price sky high.  This way they have kept the price down and allowed for the purchaser to customize their own cockpit.   Wink

It is a great aircraft and fun to fly.  Worth the $15 I spent for it.  Not to metion look at all the liveries you get to choose from! Grin

While the guages are a bit dissappointing, the plane is unreal.  It's one of the most fun planes to fly that I've found.  It's a really great version of what it is, and regardless of whether you think it should be there, most 1900's don't have an FMC.  Older versions don't even have AP, so they seem to have really kept the plane true to it's roots.  For all I know, some models of the 1900d may have kingair gauges.
