May 5, 20233 yr This looks great, with some excellent features. The bar has really been raised recently. AzurPoly made a really good job of the Fouga Magister, and this looks even better. I seem to remember these moving about in Air France colours at Orly Airport many years ago. I think I will buy it and get those Rolls Royce Tynes fired up!

May 5, 20233 yr As a young child living in Berlin in the 70s , we once took a Transall with the school for a « green class » from there to Normandie what an adventure it was for us! Will buy it only because of the memories it brings back. Thank you Azurpoly ! Edited May 5, 20233 yr by webstef68
May 5, 20233 yr Kind of funny how all these recent planes come with fully working EFBs, while other "established" developers can't seem to get a handle on this.

Maybe the nature of technical debt when you bring planes over from other sims rather than creating from scratch ?

We're talking about two different things. All I saw from the video linked was a visual model management aspect to the "EFB." The other "established" developer you're bringing up, offtopic, would be pilloried if their first iteration doesn't have SimBrief integration, Navigraph Charts integration, takeoff and landing performance calculations, and a coterie of other features that the community is assuming have always been standard. Not defending them, but we have to be making fair comparisons here, and this doesn't seem like one. Edited May 5, 20233 yr by mspencer
May 5, 20233 yr I've always wanted a decent C-160, defiantly one of my favourite military transports. Would be nice if they could also do a "civilianized" variant with a GTN750 onboard as it would defiantly make a great bush aircraft.
May 5, 20233 yr I've read the manual, and I'm a little unsure about whether the Transall will intercept and hold a VOR radial. It also mentions TACAN - is the aircraft equipped to use TACAN for more than just distance measuring ? I'd be grateful for any info. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org

Exactly, I get so tired of devs and users not distinguishing between what is simply a tablet used to open and close doors vs. something that integrates with Navigraph and has performance data. They are wildly different in terms of complexity.

It also mentions TACAN - is the aircraft equipped to use TACAN for more than just distance measuring ? I'd be grateful for any info. At the moment the main nav instruments (EHSI and BDHI) will display data from VOR and ADF radios but I cannot get the AP to fly a VOR radial at the moment only follow the heading bug. As while there support for TACAN on the instruments I cannot work out how to enter a TACAN channel in the NAV radio so I can't get that to work for either distance or bearing. (It's worth pointing out that despite these limitations I really like what there is here and if Azurpoly and build it out from here a decent pace it could end up being really quite impressive). [As a note I REALLY wish Azurpoly had a comms channel other than facebook where these issues could be raised and discussed]
May 5, 20233 yr @Matchstick thanks very much for the info. I might hold off until the promised further development becomes a reality. It is a thing of beauty, however, so it'll be hard to resist. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org

May 5, 20233 yr The JF Hawk has had TACAN beacon support for distance since release I think and I believe full TACAN support came in with the F/A-18E. But without knowing out how (or even if) TACAN channels are set up in the C-160 I can't test it.
