Milviz PC-6 Turbo Porter Released

A project that’s been one of the best-kept Milviz secrets in recent memory, the Milviz PC-6 Turbo Porter has now been released!

The PC-6 Turbo Porter is one of the most versatile bush planes flying today. Powered by a PT-6A-27 turbine, the Turbo Porter has almost legendary STOL performance in all phases of flight, making it the perfect aircraft to get in and out of those short bush strips. The PC-6 is perhaps most known for its incredible beta descent capability, allowing the prop to enter the beta phase in-flight, producing monstrous amounts of drag and allowing you to plummet at upwards of 4-5 thousand feet a minute.

The Milviz rendition of the PC-6 Turbo Porter aims to be the best PC-6 simulation on the market. Utilizing the engine code from the upcoming King Air, the Milviz PT-6A-27 simulation in the PC-6 features the most accurate simulation of a PT-6A available today. All the characteristics and functions of the real PT-6A have been modeled to a tee. This includes a totally realistic startup procedure with spool up rates depending on various different variables, in-flight start options such as starter assisted, windmilling and hot starts, in addition to fully simulated hot and cold weather operations and engine failures due to exceeded limits.

While the PT-6 is, of course, the star of the show in the PC-6, the rest of the aircraft is just as meticulously modeled. Features of the aircraft included highly realistic flight dynamics, realistic systems and avionics, optional floats, tundra wheels, skis or amphibian equipment, a correctly modeled reverse pitch beta mode and so much more. You can find the full PT-6A and PC-6 feature lists below.

The Milviz PC-6 Turbo Porter is available exclusively for Prepar3D v4.5 and can be yours for a price of $39.99 and various discounts apply for people purchasing directly from the Milviz store.  If you purchase your Turbo Porter direct from the Milviz store, you automatically get 10% off the price and 20% off if you’ve bought any of the other Milviz bush planes (Otter, Turbo Otter, and Beaver) directly from their store. A 20% discount also applies if you purchase it at the FlightSimExpo. It should be noted that these discounts are not cumulative, so only can apply at checkout.
