As someone who struggled with loneliness in later life into my 50s and people that have interests in things I like is rare, these videos are like hanging out with some like-minded friends. The only missing thing is the actual bacon sandwiches and cups of tea and chats in IRL. 🥪☕ I really miss my old ppl days out of High Wycombe EGTB, I have an add-on for that airfield in the MSFS to relive those memories.

This channel is amazing. As a student pilot and veteran sim driver, I am so appreciative of this content. Thank you for all the work you do with this channel.

Love it. I enjoyed your humour when you said “Just give me ten minutes until I slow down”. Haha, yep it appears a bit too slippery. Personally I’d prefer the autopilot controls being in front of me, especially when flying at night, as I find the lighting to be a bit poor in certain areas. It was good in real life, as we flew night freight, and never gave it a second thought. Nathan’s personal knowledge of real world King Air ops is very much appreciated. 🙏

These reviews are so relaxing. It is like watching a movie. Thanks for taking the time to make this. You have a new subscriber.

Solid, thorough and highly detailed video as usual. Thanks for taking the time to make these in-depth reviews.

Fantastic video! I hope there will be more on the Black Square King Air. It's often hard to find more advanced and in depth tutorials. Liked, and Subscribed!

Lovely excursion! Great sunday edutainment. Thanks for it!💙

Most useful and informative review I’ve seen so far, cheers. Definitely will be picking this up now.

I love the King Air but nobody ever flies it on KZfaq. And I was unaware of the black square King Air I am definitely going to have to check into this thank you for the video

Settle in and just a wonderful watch/listen, so nice to have a nice in-depth and knowledgeable review and tests, always awesome and welcome, many thanks. As much as I would like these I do wonder how quickly I mess up and get overwhlmed flying them, definatly added to the wish list me thinks. 👌👌

Really appreciate both videos on this black square upgrade to the King Air, and I really like when you bring your friend on to discuss the twin Cessnas, or in this case now Textron twin turbo-props. I purchased it on your recommendations. I've always loved King Airs, and enjoyed the Carenados for FSX for many years. Those were always stellar, the C90s, and the 350 upgrades a few years back. I really desire a true-to-life study level turbo-prop for these newer sims, in the way that Fenix and Fly-By-Wire has done for the A320, and this comes very close. And then we get frustrated with a lack of propeller and flap drag for landing, feathering capabilities/qualities which spoil landing approaches and emergency engine-out practice. It's like the Milviz 310, which brilliantly models the realism of the aircraft until you lower the flaps and it gives you too much drag and you land like a rock even with almost full power. So while you have to come in with either zero power and/or condition levers at low idle to land this King Air without floating long, or you have to land the Milviz without flaps in order to land gracefully there, those can set up a lot of bad habits for those who happen to fly these aircraft in real life. One of these days, I'm hoping for the high fidelity approach that Fenix is giving the A320 to light or lighter aircraft as well, and I'm betting my investment in MSFS2020 that they will take flight modeling more seriously as they improve the product so we can get better accuracy with performance because we're not quite there, even though we're frustratingly closer than we've ever been. The Black Square team are open about what they can't model properly due to the limitations of the default King Air and the overall sim limitations, but I still think this product is worth it in the short run. It will improve as the sim improves. But who knows, perhaps Simworks Studios will do a King Air as they have marvelously modeled the Kodiak 100, which began strong and continues to improve and add features.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! I too struggled with Nathan's audio, but his knowledge and experience makes the struggle worthwhile 😆, so thanks Nathan. Years ago, I bought a DVD showcasing the KA350 (analog gauges) and the pilot flew from KAPA to KTEX in Colorado. I fell in love with the 350 and that video is still one of my favorites. A few years ago, I ticked off a bucket-list item which was to land at KTEX (Telluride, CO), which I first learned of in FSX (the Learjet landing mission). I flew commercial from my home in NJ, to Montrose, CO. where I took a mountain flying course with a CFI and we flew up to KTEX. The beautiful Rocky Mountains were breathtaking! The airport is on a mesa, 9070' MSL (highest commercial airport in the country) which made the landing similar to landing on an aircraft carrier. As a private pilot, this was one of the most amazing experiences I've had since getting my PPL twenty five years ago! Anyhow, I will definitely be purchasing this to fly in VR (Aero). 🙂

Great video guys SO valuable flying with guys with experience on type! Well done Sorry only discovered this now. Just FYI I think the visual approaches only come with the GTNxi which by now could be modelled by PMS. I have the TDS pro version and visual approaches are in there

great video always been a king air fan so will be purchasing it.

Absolutely loving these type of videos. This is the first to see for me, but with 5 minutes in you got yourself a new subscriber. Looking forward to see more. Is this mod heavy on the fps? Cheers Mark

Great informative video! Tnx!

autofeather IS modeled, it has anunciators between the trq and itt dials

I would absolutely watch a KNS 80 video if you did one!

a light will be add for autopilot in next update ;) and cabin pressurisation

Thank for that in-depth review. I'm just experiencing that aircraft now and fully agree with your comments. The lag of drag when pulling levers is a still missing piece of turboprop simulation by Asobo. Beta range simulation is just currently falling short. I have one question on the AP you may help me with: As there is no indication of a VS being set, would activating VS in climb not take the actual one as reference and not as now level off?

24:14 There is the Switch. FSB & NO SMK on the overhead

Trying to decide between this and the C414. What does everyone think? Has anything been added to this since release, or anything been broken in MSFS upadtes since this review?

Is there anyway us as consumers can contact the devs at Black Square? Would love to ask them a few questions. Vid started of great btw

It's funny how real life C90 captain is struggling over finding FSB sign in 350 :D

Are these in depth systems and button functionality available for the glass cockpit?

where can i get this mod?

you didnt set the cabin alt

Not sure why MSFS now has all these vehicles driving on runways and taxiway's! lol 🤦‍♂

I was really looking forward to watch this video to learn more about flying this aircraft but unfortunately had to give up after 15 minutes. Although I speak English fluently, 40% of what your Real life pilot says is not understandable for me. His microphone, dialect and the way he speaks (fast and not articulating properly) makes this ununderstanble for me unfortunately. Thanks anyway.

Why didn’t you guys do this in daylight?

Calling them steam gauges is 150 yrs old term... just call them analog gauges to move in the 21st century

Great video but I can hardly understand what the captain says, I just don't get his accent and the autogen subs are just a mess. Could you please add subs? Thanks a lot!
