November 25, 20187 yr Hi Folks, Any of you virtual C310 pilots following these guys ? They do a nice job - two air traffic controllers from Chicago - this video starts with their trip to the Bahamas... They showcase the C310 well... What a panel - love the plane even if it does have the stubby nose... Regards, Scott Edited November 25, 20187 yr by scottb613
November 25, 20187 yr Yes I watch their videos. I didn't realize they were ATC in RL. Great videos, and easy on the eyes copilot. Mark CYYZ
November 25, 20187 yr Two things I noticed (besides the co-pilot): He's got a yaw damper switch over on the left side of the front panel; and the gas gauges were dancing all over the place in the choppy air on approach to Williston. Cheers! Stew Stew "Different dog, different fleas"
November 26, 20187 yr Yes, I've seen most of their videos, good viewing, but noticed that their mixture controls are always well split.

November 28, 20187 yr Yep, subscribed to their channel some time ago and always look forward to new material from them. Highly recommended! Scott Edited November 28, 20187 yr by tttocs

Even when taxiing. Also had to grin when he was wandering side to side on the taxiway at Williston as he was advancing through his takeoff checklist. Almost ran off the left side onto the grass. Guess my sim is realistic after all <grin> Anyone know what the screen gauge is under the wx radar? Just in front of the mix levers.

Regards, Scott Watched two more videos. Appears for the mixture levers he just instinctively positions them based on memory. He does not seem to adjust one or the other. Just moves L to point a and R to point b, and both at the same time with one hand motion.

December 19, 20187 yr Got a grin tonight as I watched more of this C310 pilots videos. I paused a video (Youtube) to take a break. When I came back to my desk and began to resume the video, I found myself hitting the P key to end the pause...... Got a good laugh when I woke up to the fact that I wasn't in the sim.... Does that make a statement about the Milviz Redux?

December 21, 20187 yr Author Hi Folks, Mixture levers - is that what you get from the videos ??? Did you miss the one where she talks about "boob sweat" - LOL - you're missing the important points... Regards, Scott
December 21, 20187 yr Yes, I catch a lot of her comments. LOL! It all comes out when you film yourself in real time for hours at a time..... Here is the "indexing" for lack of another term that he does with his mixture levers. The positions in this screen capture is about as close together as I see them in any of the videos. Usually just a bit more separation. If you watch him it appears to be a natural movement on his part. Instinctive. He does not appear to adjust one, and then the other while looking at gauge response. Just sort of set and forget. After takeoff and positioning them he rarely changes the positions, even for approach and landing.

I have not seen the fuel selectors, which are on the floor, in any of the camera angles he uses.
