The C90 XP11 version had a beige panel, so that tends to lighten up the instrument panel, but the all dark panel here does feel more authentic to a professional flying office environment, and it feels more modern as well, overall I like it. It is all very well done, with the usual gauges replaced here with the three display (Two PFD - Primary Flight Displays and one left central MFD - Multi-Function Display or NAV/MAP) of the Pro-Line 21 avionics system. The same theme follows through into the cockpit, dark colours with beige highlights. Over all the cabin fit-out is very good, but a little dark inside. Cabin comes with twin animated pop-out tables to work out on your next business deal. Nice seating details include built in ashtrays, seatbelts and great leather textures. The teak wood highlights are very nice and contrast well with the beige upper cabin trim. The GTX winglets are also well crafted, but the static wicks tend to droop and are static, remember how not long ago Carenado static wicks used to flicker in the airstream, well that sort of detail doesn't happen anymore.īut the modeling is very good, note the rear lighting assembly, tail and elevator detailing and so overall this is a very nice C90 King Air.Įxecutive also means corporate grey interiors and Carenado don't disappoint here, you get a lot of blacks and dark greys in the cabin. Nice NACA Ducts and pressed metal louvre air-vents are also very good and are the C90's signature look. Notice the lovely panel ripples and detailed riveting, best in the business and very authentic, the days of flat sided fuselages are now well gone.Įngine cowlings with chrome inlet engine inlets and chrome spinners are are also excellent as is the double huge heated trumpet exhausts. Carenado modeling and quality abound, you expect the best and again you get that high quality detail here. The C90 GTX is the executive version of the C90 range, more faster, more powerful, but carries less passengers in only six seats, plus two crew. The C90GT came with the PT6A-135A engines, 750 shp flat rated to 550 shp, for better climb and cruise performance, the C90GTi came with the "glass cockpit" Collins Proline 21 avionics suite and the GTX is the combination of both of those versions plus the winglets now added as factory-standard, and with the maximum Take-off Weight was increased to 10 485 lb (4756 kg) for better full-fuel payload flexibility. The GTX is a accumulating part of a three version lineup above the standard C90. The Beechcraft C90 is the stalwart aircraft of the King Air series, certainly there is a few of them for X-Plane and even Laminar Research's default C90 King Air is a basic but always a nice flying machine, so why buy another one? Well Carenado have not one but now two Beechcraft C90's for X-Plane11, the standard version C90B, but now here is the GTX version. First Quick Impression : C90 GTX King Air HD Series XP11 by Carenado
