Version History

The PC-6 is an utility aircraft designed by Pilatus Aircraft. Thanks to its superb STOL performance and easy-to-maintain design it is used all-around the globe to deliver goods where regular aircraft cannot fly.

This aircraft was designed thanks to an unlimited access provided by a PC-6 operator.

The PC-6 is part of Thranda "Dynamic Generation Series", re-authored for XP12. More about the DGS Series

Notable new XP12 features:

Re-authored textures in 8k (four times higher resolution than before. One 8k texture = FOUR 4k textures!)
Completely re-done normal maps, and largely re-authored albedo textures.
Fully re-authored sounds in FMOD, capturing the subtleties of the PT6 engine and its very dynamic 4-bladed prop with a lot more nuance and detail than before.
Completely overhauled flight dynamics, both for the land and the amphibian version, to most closely match XP12's new dynamics
Systems matched to new XP12 standards.
Overhauled existing dynamic livery, added dirt and scratches effects (configurable in real-time). Now has "Modern" and "Classic" paint scheme layout.
Re-authored lighting to take better advantage of XP12.

EFB: Electronic Flight Bag, or the Thranda Tablet. All the extra functionality of this plane has moved from the fly-out menu (v11 PC6) to the EFB.

Use it in 3D: you can move it from the pilot's side to the copilot's side, or disable it completely in 3D. Mounted on a swivel, for convenient viewing angle.
Use it as a 2D pop-up window, or pop the window out onto a secondary screen.
Use it in VR in either mode.
Control the brightness of the EFB in 3D or 2D
Intuitively set up like an iPad with different apps, all documented in the included manual.

Here's a list of the apps in the EFB, and how they work:

Aircraft Options App:

Option to run the engine in realistic mode or simplified mode.
Control over chocks, tie-downs, and engine covers
Control over the electric tug
Window reflections on or off
Instrument reflections on or off
Startup running or cold and dark
Control retractable landing lights via scroll wheel (independent left/right, Infinitely variable tilt, to use lights for both taxi and landing purposes.)
Ground Power Unit (GPU) option
External fuel tanks (under the wings)
Steering options: realistic or simplified.
Control over exterior and interior lights via a schematic of the plane.
Control over doors and engine access

Weight and Balance app

Full control over aircraft's weight and balance.
Control weights on a per-seat basis, or dial in the desired total, and the desired CoG directly.
Hide seats, and replace weight with cargo.
Control fuel quantities in the wing tanks by simply scrolling over the wing tank with the mouse.
External fuel tanks can be enabled and disabled, and their weight independently controlled.
Add weight to the copilot's seat, and the copilot shows up.
Switch between Lbs and Kg.
Preview weight and balance on a graph
Load preset configurations, and save them to disc for later use.

Instrument options app

Call up pop-up windows for GNS430/530/Autopilot
Switch between InHG and MB display in the Kollsmann window of the altimeter.

Dynamic Panel app

Move any instrument to any location on the panel, or even between pilot and copilot's seat.
Supports 3rd party RealityXP GTN750 instruments, also fully configurable
Save your own presets, and even share them with the community!
2 operating modes: Layout page and Individual Instrument page. Move instruments around a virtual panel layout or use numerical entry for precision placement.
Also allows for control over instrument placement in 3D space, via special click spots that are made visible in edit mode.
GNS430 and 530 can be swapped out, but a restart of the plane is required, as 430s and 530s are mutually exclusive in terms of compatibility.
Supports G1000 configurations.
Several preset panel configurations, showcasing different layouts and instrument equipment.
Choose between different panel backgrounds.

Static Livery app

Preview available liveries and tailnumbers by scrolling over the plane.
Apply dirt and scratches dynamically
Also supports 8 traditionally painted liveries, in all their full 8k glory!
Compatible with custom liveries. (Folder names should be named the same as the registration number, and the plugin picks that up as the livery's name.)

DynaFeel app

Dial in exactly how difficult you think the controls should be.
This simulates different pilot's physique and strength. (Stronger pilots can put more pressure on controls, and hold full deflection at higher speeds).

Log Book App

Calls up Laminar's log book in a separate pop-up window.
Log your flights and track your virtual adventures.

Checklist App

Very complete checklist, allowing for the ticking off of boxes of completed items.
Navigate the many pages by using the scroll hotspot at the bottom of the checklist
Pop up or pop out checklist app as a separate window

Ground Handling App

Call Laminar's default ground equipment, if you prefer that over the Thranda electric tug
Opens up a separate pop-up window.

Dynamic Livery app

Create "virtual" liveries, based on one common design layout, and assign any color to any available paint segment.
Now supports control over roughness and metalness
Add dirt and scratches to your dynamic livery, and save these settings along with your livery preset.
Quickly create preview of livery in real-time, using intuitive controls
Apply selected livery in real-time (Granted, with these huge textures, it may be a bit of a wait... but no external graphics software required!)
Option to include/hide manufacturer logo and "PC-6" sign
Option to change the tail number in real-time, or disable it altogether
Easily and quickly create dozens of paint schemes in-sim!

Flight Computer App

Easily visible data like OAT, Groundspeed, Endurance (HH, MM), Range, NMPG, altitude data, airspeed data, Fuel Flow, used fuel, headwind and crosswind component data.
Pop up or pop out Flight Computer app as a separate window.
Equipment App
Tires: Choose between Tundra and regular-sized tires
Skis: Enable or disable skis for snow ops
Mud flaps: Enable or disable
Windows: Choose between regular windows and massive windows in the sliding rear doors
Wing tanks: control the loaded fuel weight in the "Weight and Balance" app. Option to enable/disable wing tanks, with realistically simulated weight, momentum, rotational inertia, and drag characteristics

AviTab App (optional)

If AviTab (freeware plugin) is installed, it can be viewed inside the tablet, or as a pop-up window.

SkunkCrafts Updater

Thranda recommends using the standalone SkunkCrafts Updater app, to stay up-to-date on the latest versions of the plane.
Option to participate in Beta program, via check box in SkunkCrafts Updater

Excellent ULTRA hi-res PBR realistic materials, featuring true-to-life plate deformation and to-the-rivet precision.

Flight dynamics and systems:

The PC6 has quite a few very unique flight characteristics, including the ability to enter Beta mode in flight, and these are faithfully reproduced. (This allows for very steep descents.)
The real PC6 is considered to be a real STOL workhorse, whose flight characteristics and excellent STOL capabilities are calibrated to maximum precision in the sim
Details, such as the condition lever latch mechanism and a functional throttle gate add to the realism
Sliding passenger doors respond to G-forces, so when returning from a parachute drop, while on a steep descent, the doors will roll shut.
Over-torquing the engine will cause shaft damage, when in "realistic" mode. This can result in prop loss, cabin smoke, terrifying turbine shaft friction sounds, etc
Smoke in engine can be brought under control by killing the "Firewall Air" via cabin lever
Tie-downs and chocks actually keep the plane from moving, even in high winds

Advanced FMOD-based sound system:

High fidelity, multi-track sounds with smooth transitions
Individual volume control over different aspects of the sound experience
Different sounds for front of plane than for back of plane
Panning around the plane in exterior view yields awesome 3D audio effects, including "blade slapping" sound when view is perpendicular to prop
Prop pitch produces characteristic aerodynamic aural effects, especially during Beta and Reverse mode.
Individual buttons and switches in the cockpit each have their own unique sound.
Realistic electrical sounds, based on bus load and other factors (Sounds actually give you clues as to what's happening under the hood)
Combustion roar sound typical for turboprop engines -recorded from real PT6 engine
Outside wind intensity is affected by slip and AoA. (The more the surface area of the fuselage is hit by oncoming wind, the louder the sounds)
