Regarding the bundle, you need to put both the passenger and cargo in the cart and then you will get the discounted price. For that to happen you need to purchase both at the same time.

 

Regarding the price, Im also wondering the same. The bundle in sinmarket is at $55.78 while in justflight it says $64.99

On SM you should see Tax added during checkout so the price will be pretty much as per the price on our site at Just Flight where the prices you see are the prices you pay.   That should be the case. Obviously check and advise if it's not.

That's what I was thinking, but no. Both cases represent the final step before placing the order

This is from Simmarket

 

And this is from Justflight

Why no bundle available on Simmarket and how is it that the price on justflight for an individual package is more expensive compared to Simmarket?

Just Flight are the “manufacturers”.

its considered bad form to undercut your dealers prices as it disincentivizes them from offering them at all  

Not that JF doesn’t offer a killer deal now and then on specific (e.g., older) addons. 

Trying to understand what the different icing buttons do on the Caravan. I think I got it, but not sure what everything does really.

Found no video yet and quite frankly the manual is not really clear to me. (Does not mean its the manuals fault)

If anyone knows of a more dumb explanation or a video they have seen. Much appreciated.

 

I don't think I am supposed to turn everything on, but that is pretty much what I end up doing

Pitot and Stall(?) heat on all the time, everything else only during icing conditions.  I don’t have it in front of me, but should be windshield heat, prop heat, and wing deice?  
 

Windshield heat would heat the icing plate IRL, in the sim it’s the whole windshield since he said it won’t support an icing plate.  Prop heat is the electric prop deice on each blade.  It should show 21 amps on the gauge, if it doesn’t, you have a prop that isn’t heating.  They’re 7 amps each.  If the prop isn’t shedding ice properly, you’d pull the prop lever back to min RPM and then slam it forward, the rapid twist on the blades can shed the ice.  
 

Also the first time the prop sheds ice and it’s 2:30 AM and you’re barely awake will scare the word not allowed out of you because it impacts all over the windshield. 
 

Wing deice is the boots, and I think the switch is Auto or manual?  Auto does the programmed sequence of boots, (tail, struts, wings) and manual blows them all at once.  Use the ice light at night to look at the wing.  
 

Don’t spent too much time in ice, or you end up like this.  This was 15 minutes on a not fun night

and the defrost pull on the copilot side is like a car defrost.

Should be one on the pilot side as well.  Those, IIRC, run off the bleed air (or the air conditioner), so that has to be on providing heat.

Thanks for the pics - one has to wonder what Asobo was thinking when they created the icing effects lol.  I think a few devs do semi custom icing effects that actually looks like icing though.

After last patch there are a lot of improvements. However, with thing still bothers me when accidentally word not allowed both fuel tank engine quit immediately . I don't think it should be case. I never flown Caravan but I did shut off fuel in other aircraft during training (twins). It actually takes some time before engine quit. Even when fuel feed shuts off there is still fuel in lines and it may take 5-10 second before engine shows any signs of starving which often offer ample time to detect and correct pilot "transgression" 🙂

I brought this up on the JF forums, and Nick said the sim is limiting it at the moment.   
 

But yes, you should have 30 seconds of fuel or so before the engine dies.

When I trained to my multi commercial my instructor kept turning fuel tank off, always catching off guard! There was no audible signal of any sort to warn me about it. So I started monitoring fuel pressure gauge. Every time he destructed me and cut fuel switch on one of engine (between seats in Seminole) So figured I would periodically scan fuel pressure gauges and catch exactly which engine will quit in 10 seconds! LOL

I have noticed this fuel cut bug with all Aosbo aircraft I wish there was some custom code that would time delay effect of fuel cut off; thus, adding some degree of realism!

That's why A2A is the king of this stuff. If you do that in the commanche, at first you wont notice anything but a few seconds later the engine will start to sputter and run rough. If you catch it in time and the flow of fuel returns, the engine will roar back to life. If you dont, you will start to lose power until the engine quits.

Too bad that nick is bound by the limitations of the sim. I think he should jump to the next level and begin simulating stuff like that outside the sim

Try it! Its quite an experience.

The first time this happened to me I was in the middle of the ocean with the commanche and the engine began sputtering and lossing power, with the rpms getting lower and lower. I panicked, not knowing what was happening. The plane began losing airspeed and descending until I noticed that I forgot to switch tanks and the engine was running dry.

This training outfit use A2A's Comanche to demonstrate techniques in their engine management course Airplane Engine Operations. Everything works like the real engine, how to clean fouled plugs, etc.
