Local Legend 23: Fokker F-27 Friendship

For 2020 users it looks like only a single blank white livery is included based on what I'm seeing in that Marketplace. Not sure what else is changed or degraded for that sim, but it seems to be oriented mostly to the 2024 audience. Inibuilds has failed to follow up on a number of issues with the YS-11, notably a significant geometry / LOD "gap" that appears when the main cabin entry door is open (opposite of the door), so I'm hoping they did a better job with the Fokker, and that 2020 users will get the featured liveries. 

There are plenty of liveries for the F27 on Flightsim.to  Aircraft Liveries for Microsoft Flight Simulator - Flightsim.to

    This looks like an excellent aircraft, and the RR Dart sounds seem good. Once again though, spoilt by the default Propeller strobe / stutter that looks terrible, along with the annoying flickery

    hm the Fokker Friendship doesn't have a free trial like the other aircraft have had.

According to 2020 users on the official forums, it does come with multiple liveries.

Just another antique.  Wish they would give us something with modern avionics and nav systems.  Oh well.

 If is possible for something modern to already be a legend. 

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

 

Guess it depends on your definition  of modern.

From CYBD (Bella Coola) to Campbell River (Coola Coola). Just kidding. Actually It's EDLV Niederrhein to Nistelrode in the Brabant (a short grass strip airport 3,000 feet long).

So this plane will get into many airports others can't.

Interestingly, the right side registry is not mirrored in the marketplace screen shots, so I wonder what happened there

It looks nice, but I hope they also will do the Fokker 50.
Cockpit wise, the F27 is just a little too old for me, I like 80's style cockpit the best
(737 Classic, F70/100, Avro RJ's, 757 etc)
But that is only my opinion/preference

as for the sound of the Darts here in oz we used to call the F27 the 'ten ton dóg whistle'

that's the fun side I bought the thing off the marketplace & it still hasn't appeared in my folder - mumble mumble😒

did you check the content manager?

I’ve read the fuel trimmers aren’t simulated.

To be fair I’ve not found a RR Dart aircraft in any sim that has a working fuel trimmer, so probably can’t expect it for the price.

Unfortunately though you can’t have a good simulation of a RR Dart powered aircraft without the fuel trimmers working, they’re one of the must used switches on the flight deck.

The fuel trimmers work as an animation only……they don’t do anything and yes the fuel trimmers were used all the time. A lot of the cockpit noises are missing or wrong. No inverter whine or the sound of pneumatics when operating the brakes etc. The engine/prop is not anywhere near modelled correctly and is very disappointing. No ground fine pitch (and the growl sound) is missing on touchdown when it’s used. Prop locks don’t seem to be modelled. The nose pitches up when the gear is lowered. The way that some of the reviewers are starting the engines would have resulted in 2 molten blobs in the engine exhausts. I didn’t expect a study level rendition but I did expect at least some of the major features unique to the F27 would be modelled. It’s placed somewhere between Virtualcol and Carenado. 
Unfortunately there is no try and return feature on Marketplace anymore. Not a major investment but I feel a bit duped. This one will be a hangar queen.

😂 yes, I put a comment on Avangel’s review to that effect. Not a criticism of her, I love her videos, they make me laugh. But yeah there’s no auto starts on the Darts
