What's the Caribou like ?

Featured Replies

Just to add I am having immense fun in the Caribou.  The model, the textures, the sounds, functionality, the view from the cockpit - superb value for £12.49.

Has a great feel of weight and inertia as well.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Tried it.

Allows Keyboard  bindings to work for ALT & HDG HLD, but does not come with a Panel.

However, if you have the PMS50 GTN759 panel, that, somehow, can be made to appear.

Working for me with the GTN750, and this is a nice aircraft very well done so far..

Not goeing in deepness that much, most of the knobs and switches are not usable at the state of yet - but the plane and the cockpit is very well designd i would say.

cheers 😉

The autopilot mod works beautifully with a Loupedeck, if you have one. No need for a panel in the VC - it's all there on the Loupedeck. Perfect! 😃

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Great!  I recently bought a Loupedeck and love it.  I will give it a go.  I have been using the trim on the dial as well.

I haven't tried out the AP mod yet, but assuming it uses all default AP commands etc I should be able to use it with my GoFlight MCP PRO.

What did you have to do to get the GTN750 panel to show up in the VC?

Just to clarify - this is the PMS 750? 

Is it the paid or free version?

I have the TDS GTNXI, but so far it hasn't shown up.

Thank you

Haven't tried to mod yet however imagine it will work with Streamdeck and allow functionality to the Honeycomb Bravo AP Panel.

I'm just taking my first flight, but all of my electronics shut off mid-flight. Batt is on, master is on...what am I missing? A lot of essentials are off now (radio, horizon, man pressure, oil pressure, compass, etc.).

Other than that, it's been really fun 😂

Because of the STOL capability I'm finding the Caribou makes quite a decent bush plane, squeezing into tight spaces.  I've managed a couple of altiports near Grenoble and that Tep Tep (AYTP) in PNG from Chris Jaensch's article.  The only problem is readying it for takeoff again; while the turning circle is tight, it's quite a wingspan to clear.  I can see how the lack of autopilot can be an issue for simmers on long flights; IRL there's a copilot to do that!

What is the possibility of a community-led improvement mod for the Caribou ? I'm thinking along the lines of the Duckworks mod for the DC-3. Is it possible to do something similar for the Caribou, or are certain files encrypted ?
