I thought it was time to get something with multiple engines and retractable landing gear to broaden my sim experience.

I decided on the Cessna C340 II from

Carenado

which is still on sale by the way Wink

Overall I'm impressed.......great looks and sounds, flies very well, and (like other Carenado products) comes with a comprehensive manual Cool

Thanks 4 lookin'

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I thought long and hard about picking that up while its on sale. Ultimately I didn't, reading the reviews it sounds like it can be hard on frames, and my computer is only average for FSX.

Good choice! I like the 340, but for a Cessna twin prop, I'll take the 337 Wink
