Hey guys,

I'm unfamiliar with many of the propeller planes, but was looking for one that has a short take-off/landing requirement for little village airports, but one also has enough seats (to be used with FS Passengers X).

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

-Barb

ps. Oh yeah, it has to have autopilot capabilities, PLEASE  Wink

I have the twin otter, it's a good plane, but not very many real world airlines use it, so I really don't fly it that much. If you like bush flying, definetly get that (be aware, NO 2D PANEL!) Otherwise, I have heard that the F1 Pilatus PC12 is an excellent choice.

Thanks guys. I've definitely never heard of these planes.  I could not find any website or pictures of the F1 plane, any suggestions? The AN-2 didn't seem to have any passenger capacity... the Twin Otter seems pretty neat (and a bit hardcore), but hey, that's what I thought about the PMDG MD-11 before I bought it  Wink

The best thing about looking up the Twin Otter was discovering their "Lukla" scenery  Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked. WOW. My husband thought it was really cool too (he went to Nepal a few years ago and loved it)... we were watching the landings on Youtube, then looking at each other and thinking about spending any more $$ on FSX, then looking at more landings on Youtube, etc.  Roll Eyes  sigh, this entire thing has really taken up my normal shopping budget  Huh

Try The Shorts 360
 
Carriers would be so mush easier to land on if they would just stop turning!!!

what about just an average Dash 8-100?  seems that EVERYONE has at least a few of these in their hangar or fleet.

Yeah, I agree. I looked into it but I guess the cockpit panel didn't suit my tastes, so I ended up looking elsewhere. Thanks for the suggestion!  Smiley
