Vatsim Ability 100%
Vatsim Ability - Yes
Level of detail - Very High
Study Level - Yes
I've been flying this aircraft non-stop for the past week (roughly 30 hours) so I could write this review and it took a lot longer than usual cause there is so much to this amazing aircraft. This is more than just a study-level aircraft, this is as real as it gets, this aircraft is fully interactable - from all the circuit breakers to the tie-downs on the outside of the P2006T, I mean everything.
This aircraft is possibly the most versatile aircraft I own, whether I want to spawn on the runway and just fly or start cold and dark, with the aircraft tied down it can be done in an instant. Not only that, but this is possibly the best VR Aircraft I've found for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, with the cockpit being so modern and minimally laid out. It makes for a perfect Virtual Reality flyer.
The EFB
On the right-hand side of the aircraft in the cockpit, you'll find the rather small EFB Tablet, which is surprisingly quite feature-rich. Here you can do the standard change weights, see VFR maps and navigate integration - but not only that there are also missions. This is a great way to extend this aircraft's capabilities within the simulator, they are all great fun and just add that extra level of realism.

Check List
FSS - Flight Sim Studio is also taking the checklist and references to the next level which physical checklist in the cockpit that you can interact with, going through a checklist has never felt so real to me - even more when in VR. So many times in Virtual Reality I found myself physically walking around the room performing a pre-flight checklist!
Avionics - Garmin Suite
Being a modern-day general aviation workhorse, this aircraft is equipped with the best custom Garmin Suite G1000 NXI by Working Title, which is a very good rendition of the G1000. It's perfect whether you're doing short airfield jumps or longer flights, taking SID and STARs - it can do it all. I will say it'd be nice to see Navigrpah charts integrated into the G1000, however, we do have integration on the small EFB Tablet which works fine. The G1000 is also paired with a simple yet capable STEC-55X autopilot system - very basic yet capable - its NAV capabilities are perfect.
Operation modes
This aircraft has two modes to choose from "operational modes" which will let you choose from realistic and easy modes. Realistic mode is a real-life mode with real failures, circuit system, and everything in action, and easy mode, is just using the "Default MSFS engine and startup model, Circuit breakers are disabled". The options throughout The FlightSim Studio Tecnam P2006T MKII are endless.
Final Thoughts
Overall the Tecnam P2006T by FlightSim Studio is one of the most in-depth and favorite aircraft I've reviewed to date - this is my go-to GA aircraft I'll fly any day of the week. The realism is honestly unbelievable in such a small twin prop aircraft and for the price, it is absolutely worth it, not something I say often but I highly recommend you check out the Tecnam P2006T By FlightSim Studios
