As one of the most impressive aircraft of its kind, the 690B Turbo Commander is a model that many will be desperate to try out. This is fully suitable with FSX and P3D in equal measure. With full Flight1 GTN 750 integration, too, this makes sure you are left with an aircraft that is very easy to control. The addition of Carenado GNS 530 and Reality XP GNS530 integration for FSX users makes a big difference, too.

Prefer an authentic flight? Then use the Cold/Dark start-up selection to make every flight begin as you please. Snap special shots from the windows using the side-view prop effect to really take control of your view when flying, too. The take-off run and landing real rolling movements help to add a much-needed level of realism and appropriate challenge, as well!

Many new options have been included to help raise that challenge to a new level, too. For example, this comes with a whole new over-torque feature. If you use too much torque, then you can cause the system to fail and this means you need to be even more vigilant when managing your aircraft.

Want to hide the pilot or keep them there? You can do so with relative ease. This 690B Turbo Commander release by Carenado does all it can to leave the very essence of your aviation experience in your own hands.

It's a must-have for those looking for something a touch different to the normal 690B Turbo Commander. With such attention to detail in both design and command, this is a must-have for those who love authenticity and attention to detail.

I have a love for high wing aircraft, especially high wing twins, and was really excited to get this one after flying the freeware Rockwell 500. After about 10 hours of flying, I must say I really like this plane. I like the MU-2B-60 just a tad more, but this bird is a lot of fun.

Interior: Really nice detail, and era-appropriate. Pretty much everything is clickable. I usually fly with my VC completely zoomed out for better depth of field, but with this plane I usually go one less due to the smaller size of the gauges.

Exterior: More great detail and a nice assortment of liveries. Good animation for all of the functions.

Sounds: REALLY DECENT. Nice audible change when altering the condition, and the transitions throughout the throttle phases are seamless. No shoddy, obvious loops. ATC vol could be louder, but that just may be me failing to adjust something.

Ground manners: I've never flown one of these, but I understand that they are not easy to control on the ground. Throttle can be a bit touchy, but I found that ground idle plus a few taps of Ctrl F3 gives you just the right roll speed. Just be careful steering and L/R braking.

Flight manners: Lovely, she's a real treat to fly. Climbs like a beast and gets you to cruising speed with ease. Only one complaint: The AP fights with my Force Feedback joystick when I hit turbulence. I thinks it's a result of the AP trim fighting to stay true. Descends like a sports car. Hi RPM, drop the throttle and glide her down. Empty of passengers, she makes short work of small runways (I've only flown with pilot and copilot weighed in). The ability to touch down at low speed plus beta props make her a short runway queen. I landed with nearly full tanks at a small island runway (KAVX Catalina) with room to spare.

If you're a fan of slightly goofy looking turbo high wings, this is a fun plane to get!
