I have been flying the C208 quite a bit this month (both in IF and IRL) and I have noticed that the engine for the C208 in IF is way too underpowered. A fully loaded C208 can climb of a rate of ~2000ft/m without any problems IRL, but barely climbs faster than 500ft/m (half full) in IF!
Am I the only person who have noticed this?
If you can relate, please leave a comment :)

Being honest I have never flown a 208 in real life but I have notice these problems you describe in if so I’m going to go test it and see if i have the same problems.

Yes, it has a very old flight model. You can vote for a rework here.

I got the same results I recommend doing what @Trio suggested and vote for a rework at the post he kindly linked.

The physics are simply outdated and incorrect. Since the creation of the 208 in game, a lot more info about engine specs have become available to simulator developers. Like @Trio said, I’d highly suggest voting for the rework above if you’d like a more realistic experience.

It was last updated in 2012 but it has surprisingly decent flight physics for being that old though.

Agreed, being from 2012 it handles pretty good. Never flown one IRL…without Floats.
