I'm looking at the Aeroworx B200 SuperKingAir and I'd like some input....
I really like the KingAir as an aircraft, but I'm no real pilot and my FS skills are fair--I'd hardly be type-rated on anything! I've read all kinds of great reviews of the plane and know it has some complex systems and that MX module. How steep is the learning curve--will the complexity keep my from flying it well if I don't understand every system, or is it a you-get-out-what-you-put-in situation as far as systems and realism?
I want to learn this bird, but I don't want to bite of more than I can chew.
Any thoughts on this appreciated!
Thanks

The Aeroworx B200 does indeed have quite the interesting learning curve, as everything on the aircraft, including pretty much every button, behaves similar to the real thing.
Personally, when I first bought the B200 (which was my first payware way back), I found the learning curve (at least flying the thing) steeper than most of the payware I have today (Such as the Level D, PMDG etc). Mostly because its a general aviation aircraft with a more simplistic autopilot, tons of handflying and trimming, naturally
. Personally, I don't think the complexity will keep you from flying it well, it does take a bit of reading the manual however. You might not be able to takeoff without trimming it properlly, or you might burn an engine if you forget 12% N1, but I found that it was a lot of fun learning about all this stuff. It was the first addon plane in which I get to learn how to fly a real plane, which is definately a plus and hopefully you will find that too!
Highly recommend!
Cheers,
RB

We've got the X-treme King Air B200 by aeroworx/Flight 1 at Skysim. I've just glossed over it but it looks like a good piece of kit.

I've used it for a week or so and haven't touched the autopilot yet. Most of the kit seems fairly standard though. Nice having a co-pilot too...
Very nice visual model too...

I took the plunge and bought it, I now can...start the engines! 1 down, 4000 to go. Thanks all, I'm sure I'll be posting questions soon!
