Black Square’s Caravan Professional brings you one of the most technically advanced aircraft simulations for Microsoft Flight Simulator, with 100+ possible failures, 12 hot-swappable radio configurations, Black Square’s turbine engine simulation with beta range implementation, and the most advanced cabin temperature simulations in MSFS.

Black Square’s new tablet interface lets you configure all options, manage payload, control failures, and monitor engines, electrical schematics, and environmental control systems, all from within the simulator. The failure system allows for persistent wear, MTBF, and scheduled failures for nearly every component in the aircraft. The 3D gauges are affected by physics, and can even become stuck without engine vibration, requiring a tap on the glass to free them.

Radionavigation systems are available from several eras of the C208’s history. Fly without GPS via a Bendix KNS-80 RNAV system, or with the convenience of a Garmin GTN 750/650 (PMS50 or TDS). Other radio equipment includes KX-155 radios, KLN-90B, GNS 530/430, KAP 140 Autopilot, and an RDR1150XL Weather Radar.

A 145+ page manual provides instruction on all equipment, and 42 in-game checklists with control highlighting are included for normal and emergency procedures.

This product includes ONLY the passenger amphibian and cargomaster. The base model passenger Caravan with/without cargopod are sold separately, or purchasable as part of a discounted bundle.

Checklists

Over 430 checklist items are provided for 42+ Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency procedures in textual form in the manual, and in-game, using the MSFS native checklist system with control and instrument highlighting. If it’s in the checklist, it’s settable in the aircraft!

Sounds

Black Square’s Caravan Professional features a custom sound set created by Boris Audio Works, recorded from the real aircraft. High quality engine and cockpit sounds will immerse you in the simulation. Sounds such as engine starting are not mere recordings, but instead many layered sounds, constructed based on the underlying simulation.

Flight Dynamics

The Caravan Professional features a flight model with performance to match the real world aircraft based on real Caravan pilot feedback and in-flight data. Engine and aerodynamic performance should be within 2% of POH values, though no two engines are ever the same. The flight model uses the most up to date features available in MSFS 2020 and 2024, such as the new voxel CFD aerodynamics, CFD propeller, adverse yaw and stall parameters, and flexible tire physics. Engine damage produces a rough running engine and decreased performance.
