P-38 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 YES the 208 is my all time favorite. Are you planning on doing the amphib along with the standard 208? Can't wait to see this one in x-plane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 C208 only with Alaska RealScenery That's the first thing I thought of too! Dutch Harbor + C208 = major happiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Not until Version 10 ships. We're all working quite frantically. Currently I'm doing lots of airport scenery and everything will have to sit for a bit. After V10 ships, I expect to have a lot more time to work on aircraft and you can be sure, I'll be working hard on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xflyboy Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi Tom,Have you done anything more with the 208?I know XP10 is your main focus, but I was just wondering.Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 unfortunately no, but it is a priority item. 2011 has me on the Mu2 update, C208 and 2 other projects....and as soon as we can get V10 out, I'll be on it. I'm trying to get the Mu2 update out the way first so I can jump right on the C208. Good thing is a lot of the MU2 plugin code will be portable and adaptable to the C208 so I wont have to rewrite stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xflyboy Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Great news about the plugin work, that 208 will be a beauty!Thanks for taking the time to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xflyboy2 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Tom,Any new screens on the C208?I know your mad-busy...Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 No new screens though new work has been done....was actually working on it recently. I'm trying to touch it now and then between other stuff so as to keep progress for the day I can break from V10 work and jump back on it.

tkyler Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hey Michael,The Moo update is imminent. 2012 will probably see the caravan come out some time though I'm not sure when. The release of xp10 has altered my priorities a bit and caused me to shift my focus. The only thing I can say for sure is I'm freeing up even more time to work only on x-plane projects...so if things move faster for me, then I hope to begin stringing out more projects steadily, including the caravan.As far as simulation accuracy and complexity, all I can speak for is the Moo as I have actual time in one....and the 1.5 update really gets thorough. It includes every single step I experienced myself when flying cargo runs. so nothing is warmed over. You'll do exactly what I did in the real thing to fly from A to B.Now with good feedback from a C208 pilot, I see no reason we can't make the C208 equally as accurate though. If anything, I suspect the Caravan might end up being the more accurate only because I can pour more of what I've learned in past projects into it.I really wish I knew when I'll get to the C208. I am going full time into XP add-on work and I have jumped into some ambitious projects that I think x-plane needs first....well they are all needed but some moreso than others. With any luck, by June of 2012, I would very much like the freedom to pursue all these unfinished loose ends and get multiple products on the market in 2012. There's just so much to do!Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkyler Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Nothing encouraging other than I do have a plan for it at the proper time. X-Plane needs some other types of work first in my opinion given the current xplane climate. I wish I could do it all at once.-Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
