Well, not sure where to post this question...but this seemed like a good place...
Wouldn't it be really disappointing if someone just happened to throw in a B1900 into the DVA fleet downlaod??? 
I wanted to take a tour of the NE routes...but I haven't been able to find a freeware version anywhere. For now, I will just use the DVA Dash-8, but it keeps causing me to have CTD's unless I select any other plane, and then switch to the DASH-8 on the tarmak.. (which usually NEVER happens to me - luckily)

A great airplane to tool around in is the EMB-120 - give it a try...

George is right. The EMB-120 is a good bird, so good in fact, we use it for instruction in the Flight Academy.

I'd go for the B1900C instead of the -D model. The 1900D is OK, but it uses default gauges. Either one is a $15 download

Mark, always start up FS2004 with the default flight as the C-172 in Seattle. Some airplanes don't like it and will CTD if you change the default flight from the C-172 in Seattle.

Hi!
I'm also flying flights with PMDG Beech 1900C with the retro-Delta-scehem, altough I'm flying for AF  Its really worth of buyng, I have the -D-conversation also, and I'm flying with that and Big Sky Airlines-scheme. I recommend to buy the RealityXP gauges on it, its really crap to fly with default King Air-gauges!
