Just 3 days ago, we reported that Milviz had released the first King Air 350i Alpha build to their pre-order customers. Just as we were about to settle in for the torturous wait for it to release so we could get our hands on it, the extremely kind folks over at Milviz reached out to ask if we were interested in taking a look at it; of course we were! (we were also provided early access to the T-38C; exclusive previews of that aircraft are coming soon)
Now I’m not going to comment on any specific details of the systems or anything like that at this moment, as this is their first alpha and there are bound to be many bugs and oddities to find and fix, but what I will say is that it feels extremely polished for such a state. The performance is great, the modelling and texture work is top notch, and she flies like an absolute dream based off of my 30-minute mini flight test campaign. I’ve yet to do a full flight A-B, but that’s certainly not a long ways away, and I know it’ll be great fun!
Here is a plethora of screenshots I took from my short time flying the aircraft, and I tried to capture as much of the aircraft as I could without unknowingly showing off bugs in the PL21 or FMS. Do keep in mind that these are highly work-in-progress screenshots from an early alpha build, so what’s shown may not be indicative of the final product. Let me know in the comments if there’s anything specific you’d like to see and I’ll do my best to accommodate!
