Hi folks!Does anybody know if there is a pressurized piston aircraft available for FS2004, freeware or payware.Dominic

The 421C Golden Eagle from Flight 1...Rick

Thanks!

Try the FSD Navajo Panther fromwww.fsd-international.comCheersChris Porter:-outtaPerthWestern AustraliaMy "Around the World 4" flight pagehttp://members.iinet.net.au/~portercbp/fly...e%20World_4.htm

Actually, I believe that the Navajo Panther is unpressurized... :-cool rgrds/fredrik granfors

Hello,I could be wrong, but I think that the Navajo does indeed have a pressurized cabin. If you open up the POH that comes with it and go to the 'History' page you will find the following..."A pressurized Navajo variant (Pa-31P) was produced for fifteen years until the Navajo ended production in 1984."And then on the 'Specs' page...Altitude Limits:Maximum Operating Altitude: 27,200 ft. Service Ceiling: 28,300 ft. Doesn't those specs given by FSD to me for my Navajo seem just a little bit high for an unpressurized cabin? I believe my FSD version of the aircraft is of the pressurized variant. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.Thanks,Jim

The PA-31P was known as the Mojave. There weren't too many of them built. You can pick them out from regular Navajos easily by their Cheyenne style cabin windows which are comparatively smaller and rounder due to the fact that it is a pressurized aircraft. The FSD aircraft is an unpressurized Navajo. Just because an aircraft is capable of climbing very high does not mean it is pressurized. Bring your own oxygen.

Hey Kevin,Ok, thanks for clearing that up for me. I'll make sure to have some oxygen with me then! Lol.Jim

Do any of the aircraft mentioned actually simulate pressurized cabins? I have both the C421 and the Cheyenne, both in 2002 and w/o some updates, and neither simulates this, as I recall. Has this changed in 2004 with the latest updates?DannyCYVR

"I believe my FSD version of the aircraft is of the pressurized variant. Someone please correct me if I am wrong"No, the Navajo Panther we modeled is not the pressurized variant. However,, the upcoming Aerostar will be pressurized.http://www.fsd-international.com/team/TD_forum_sig.gif

What do you mean by simulate? The Cheyenne has warnings that go off and annunciators indicating lack of pressurization, or excess thereof. I have never not heeded the warnings, so I don't know if hypoxia or structural failures result, but pressurization is modeled to an extent. The flight one meridian also has a similar pressurization model...Best,sg

Gridley's right, the 421, Cheyenne, and Meridian simulate perssurization. The Cheyenne, IMHO, does the best job of simulating the pressurization. You control the outflow valves, the rate of pressure increase/decrease, set the landing pressure, cabin pressure, etc. If parameters are exceeded, the Cheyenne will let you know and it'll beep at you until you get it cleared up. You have to monitor it all the way down to the lower 1000's until you dump pressure before landing. I highly rec. the Cheyenne. I put 15 hours on her this weekend! And another 10 on the Nava-hog!
