But when it it's the real way you'd have to manage a pair of vintage radial engines on a PBY or DC-3 -- cowl flaps, manifold pressure and all that -- and you can't just jam the throttles forward and leave 'em there after takeoff, that's the kind of thing I'll pay money for.

October 6, 20205 yr 1. PMDG 737 I'd like to see something similar to what A2A did to their Cessna and others aircrafts with degradation over time/hours. I don't want to feel like I'm getting in a brand new fully serviced play every time, because well, I'm not.

I think a PBY is a bit optimistic but you never know 🙂 ... also single pilot ops were not usually recommended for the PBY IRL, among other things the radios are behind you - but I suppose that applies to a lot of aircraft we fly in sims. Here is a gratuitous random (poor quality) clip of a Black Cat PBY taking off that I shot at an airshow about 10 years ago ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqn7XoLlTw8 Edited October 6, 20205 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick

I don't even like the PBY that much, but that's my FSEconomy background because it's such a slow pig in the air. Not really economical for cargo flights unless you have lots of time to sit watching the scenery slide by.... real... slow. I still have an emotional attachment to the PBY Catalina because my Dad flew in some of them out of Jacksonville FL during WW2 as a spotter (non-pilot) before he transferred to an escort carrier in the Pacific for the end of the war, and then it was all SB-2C's for aerial recon. The PBY is still a pig in the air though, if you've ever flown one in a flight sim. No wonder they tried adding JATO rockets just to get it off the water with a full payload!
