Iris Simulations PC-21 - Microsoft Flight Simulator Add-On Review
22The Pilatus PC-21 is an advanced turboprop trainer serving armed forces around the world and representing a marked increase in performance from others of its ilk. Touted for its high agility and jet like performance it is capable of performing in the basic and advanced trainer roles for emerging aviators.
Whilst similar to Pilatus's previous trainers, this is a clean sheet design embodying advanced avionics and high performance. Iris Simulations have experience with this airframe in the past, having delivered it for FSX some time ago. They have leveraged this experience to bring the aircraft to life once again for Microsoft Flight Simulator. But they have not rested on their laurels, this is not just a port, instead this is a ground up build of this exciting aircraft.
Have they captured the commanding, yet challenging, nature of this trainer? Find out now in this in-depth review!
