January 21, 20188 yr Pilatus toured the US on a sales drive with this aircraft. Afterwards, it was then sold to EPPS Aviation, Atlanta, Georgia. Nice touch is that the registration number is also the serial number. Screenshots courtesy of Jim Baumann On my MediaFire now or on AVSIM soon. The World is divided into two groups.

January 21, 20188 yr Thank you, Ron! Looks awesome. Just completed a flight with one of your repaints last night!
January 21, 20188 yr Hi Ron, You keep this up people are going to think Carenado paints are - - - easy... Nice work - yet again - and a very colorful example... Side Note - anyone get proficient landing this thing at St. Barts ? There's a commercial carrier that uses them there - flying in from San Juan (tons of videos on YouTube) - for the life of me - I can't get her down there without planting her in the sand... Maybe the real one is a tad more draggy in SO mode ? Regards, Scott

Maybe the real one is a tad more draggy in SO mode ? Yes, have a lot of landings on St. Bath's. Only thing i've changed is the drag of the flaps, the values were mentioned somewere in this support forum. My entry looks like this (aircraft.cfg): [Flaps.0] type=1 lift_scalar = 0.7 drag_scalar = 1.9 pitch_scalar = 0.8 span-outboard= 0.7 // Percent span for flap position extending-time= 25 // Seconds, time to fully extend system_type= 0 // 0 = electrical damaging-speed = 170 // KIAS blowout-speed = 175 // KIAS flaps-position.0= 0 // degrees flaps-position.1= 15 // degrees flaps-position.2= 30 // degrees flaps-position.3= 40 // degrees Also my experience is, don't start to low, 1500 ft initial (Pain de Sucre) (dirty all the way up at this alt, and reduce speed to approach speed) try to pass the little rock (alt 95 ft on the chart) at 800 ft.

January 24, 20188 yr 4 hours ago, mgr said: Good luck! Marcel Hi Marcel, Thanks for the information - I'll look for the post in the forums - so these mods are based on some real world assumptions ? I don't want to do a fictional mod just so I can land - LOL - but - something must be off because they do land PC-12's there routinely without incident - and I kind of know what I'm supposed to be doing - can't imagine it's all operator error... Hmm - that mod only affects the "flaps up" position - no ? I would think it would be the "flaps 40" that would be more draggy or provide less lift to help with that landing... Of course I'm using FlyTampa's beautiful scenery for St. Barts and LatinVFR's for San Juan... Appreciate the help - I'll try some more attempts and your mod... That's also the first plate I've ever seen for landing there - thanks for that as well... Regards, Scott

January 24, 20188 yr Hi Bert, Thanks for the clarification - I'll load them up when I get some time for the sim again... Regards, Scott
