Tecnam P2012 is out now at Contrail shop

Title says it all - instant purchase for me since I fly lots of Cape Air routes 🙂

Downloading now.....

Keep us posted - hopefully the engine transition sounds are fixed from the preview videos although I'm not convinced they will be.

I wonder if it's available anywhere else?

I've never heard of Contrail shop and don't fancy setting up a new account there if I can help it.

How's it flying @richbonneau?  😎

Some neat feature like that

 

 

But tablet in most awkward position with no way to move it or dedicated view to look at it

Looks nice.

Yes, the tablet is in that same position on their P2006 too.  It's not ideal.

Just set a custom view for the tablet, it's what I do here then just press a key and the view is near the tablet.

You can use "CTRL-SHIFT" plus a number to define a custom view.  I simply moved the view close to the tablet and used CTRL-SHIFT-9  (top right of the keypad) to set my custom view.

It is also available at Aerosoft directly.

Haven't had a chance to fly it yet - just finished raking leaves 🙂

I know I can set up custom view but why developers didn't include by default  ?

The plane is pretty good. But I can't figure out how to properly shut down an engine in flight....or i'm not sure if it's simulated. The prop doesn't feather...the sounds and 'head movements' appear tied to the throttle levers themselves and not what is actually going on with the plane. i.e. the engine indications show that the engine is shut down, but the prop won't feather, it stays around 300RPM. If I (with the engine shut down) push the throttle up on the dead engine, i get a head movement that suggests the engine is producing power, along with an rpm increase sound. hmmm. Could be a bug. Using SU13.

Yes, that's what I've done.  But it means unnecessary view changes back and forward between the pilot and co-pilot seats, whereas if the tablet was on the left, I could just glance down (I do use TrackIR).

only way I found was to shut the fuel tank OFF.
