This version of BryanAircraftsNew's Cessna 208 Caravan is a bit more realistic. Cruising speed is about 218 MPH @ 2000 ft ASL (IRL it's 214 MPH). Also, I noticed that it was nearly impossible to land without destroying the propellers. I think I've fixed that. Another thing: If you're going to land, set the throttle to about 35%, and keep the plane level-ish. This should give you a fairly decent rate of descent. Flare the aircraft in the last few seconds of landing, keep the nose up a little, and you should touch down at about 100 to 110 MPH. (This isn't using the flaps.) Finally, don't brake too hard, or you'll destroy the engine anyway. Cheers!
