February 21, 20188 yr Yeah it keeps asking for a secondary CC with my pay pal card, That Pay pal has a $5k limit on it with no balance and should be good enough for a $45 aircraft purchase. I refuse to give out my credit card out on top of my PayPal card, That's the whole point of having Pay pal to have that extra layer of protection on online purchased. I guess I'll have to wait til the outside vendors start to sell it. Capt. Robert Rixx

GTN750 steers the autopilot, after first searching for it in the cockpit (shift+3 provides the GTN option..)..

That will then set the prop RPM. Eg, T/O and G/A will give you 100% prop RPM, cruise and climb gives you 85%. I haven't confirmed this myself as yet but that's how it is supposed to work.

February 21, 20188 yr So Far so good. This is the best Fokker 50 for many years. And I am Flying Flightsimulators for many, many years. What I miss in the simple FMS that you cannot change weight from Lbs into Kg. So far I am Satisfied and I think the price/ quality is worth it. Hopefully that Carenado can make a Fokker with APU. The Fokkers with Apu have a longer Engine Nacelle on starboard than the one without., Leodirk

Interesting, so the documentation is on Youtube... one never stops learning Thanks for this! Bert

The only thing that comes up on searching for their Fokker 50 is their promotional video from a month ago and the Vatsim video posted on this thread earlier. Would it be possible to provide a link to it? Bill
