For Pilatus PC-6 pilots. Some time ago, I produced a simple 27-step procedure starting the Porter. This is available on my DropBox here. (It is also possible to start quicker. Set the Parking Brake, open the fuel valves, set up the Throttle, Prop, and Condition levers [tricky, see document], and then hit "CTRL-E".)

For those not having the MilViz PC-6 and who want to see others in multiplayer, here is an
Updated Proxy for the MilViz Pilatus PC-6. This composite is the Tim Conrad PC-6 (originally for FSX but works well in P3D) with a compiled set of liveries to match some of the popular usages of the MilViz PC-6: the five stock liveries plus two Australian and one French army versions.  The Proxy is updated to include the "Sky Concept D-FEJE", the "JAARS PK-UHR", the "Talair P2-SEA" and the "Skydive Nelson ZK-XIT" liveries.

If you do not have the MilViz PC-6, simply place this unzipped file into your Simobjects/Airplanes folder. In multiplayer flight, you will see your fellow flyers in a PC-6 with a livery that resembles or captures the spirit of the flyers' aircraft. (This should be automatic. However, on occasion you may need to make assignments via JoinFS.)

The Updated Proxy is available on my
DropBox site here.

Hope this helps,
Mike

I can no longer export GFP flightplans (after the newest LittleNavMap update)..

Does anyone have a GFP plan for this flight?

Bert

Same problem here. I have already mailed Alex about it.

Just one strip that was tricky to find, being tucked away in a forest! N234, South Island New Zealand. You wont find it on your MSFS globe but it IS there.

Made it down. Marvellous trees. 😉

Now let's get out of here.

So far, so good.

Took a few leaves off either side. It'll polish out.

Here is part of the gang at Hokitika. Counterclockwise from the bottom are Frank (Cessna), Nick (PC-6), Gunter (Army PC-6), Jeff (Army PC-6), Ron (Savage Carbon Cub), Roger (Kodiak) and Mike (PC-6). Roman, Bert, Josh and Norm had to leave before the group portrait got snapped. (We are delighted  that Roman was be able create his typically terrific gallery of screenshots. This extra picture is necessitated by Roman's simulator-crash preventing his being at the final moment.)

Thanks Roger for the great design that produced fun for all.

Some other photos, but from the 'ol sim...  
That is, before I opened the film door on the camera and ruined everything. (UIA-hole core)
