Maybe because a licensed pilot is not necessarily an aircraft/equipment owner and may not have access to the Garmin updates? Just a thought. Jesse

Hi Folks. As I read through these comments I had a few observations that might be helpful. Keep in mind that these are normally aspirated engines. They are not turbocharged and certainly not turbine engines. As such they will begin to lose power as altitude increases. At 9,000' on a normal day full throttle would only yield about 55% power. According to the performance tables that should result in a TAS of just over 190 MPH (about 167 kts) . Jesse P.S. Wind has nothing to do with TAS, it only affects groundspeed. True Airspeed is Indicated Airspeed corrected for altitude and temperature.

Me!!. I remember. This is a great idea for a paint. I knew something was missing from my Aztec. Have already put down my deposit on a delivery position. And when I get mine, I already have a great selection of panel colors to customize mine!! Thanks for sharing your creativity and hard work, Ray. Hope you have some hair left when it is finished. Jesse

Thanks Raymie. That's what I meant to say but actually said Shift+F2. Have now corrected my post. Jesse

FSX. Dual Saitek Throttle Quadrants. Lowering the prop controls below the detent activates a switch which I have mapped through FSUIPC to the "Propeller (decrease RPM rapidly)" command and it is set to repeat. I use FSUIPC so that each prop control is mapped separately. By default the FSX "Propeller (decrease RPM rapidly)" control is mapped to CTRL+F2; however that only controls the left (Number 1) engine. FSX also has a control command for feather prop but I don't believe it is mapped to any key by default and I don't recall ever trying it. Have never used P3D but perhaps this will help you find a similar technique. Jesse P.S. A similar technique is used for Reverse Thrust on the Throttles.

I'm having no problem whatsoever feathering the props. Very realistic behavior. Very impressed with this aircraft. A great simulation! P.S. Sounds and lighting are good on my setup. Autopilot behaves perfectly as it should. An Alabeo Home run for me.

Here is a link to stormscope manuals: https://www.stormscopes.com/manuals.html

One other quick thought; if you keep a pretty dark night environment you could always try the overhead lighting located in the ceiling. That will cast some additional light on the pedestal/autopilot.

No problem here. In fact the night lighting seems very realistic in my set up. Are you turning on the "Avionics" light switch in the overhead? The popup also makes it easier to see and is usually the way I use the autopilot anyway. Hope this helps to get you a little farther down the road. Jesse

From their facebook page: Customers should download the package again from the link provided. Downloads and installations were increased. You should uninstall the aircraft before installing this new version.

By default the cargo pod is off. If you check the box the cargo pod is in place. So if you want the clean configuration don't do anything. Hope that helps, Jesse

Looks like it is being operated by North West Geomatics, Ltd. You can see the aerial camera window in the belly of the aircraft in one of the photos. According to one comment it was formerly a French Army target towing aircraft. Have a look here: http://www.nwgeo.com/products/acquisition.php

Yes indeed!!!

Very glad to hear you are enjoying UTXv2 Canada, Cobalt. Hope you will continue to inform the developers of the anomalies you find, like the Churchill area. They tend to be very responsive; providing any fixes that are practical. I saw that they are planning a release soon of their initial v2 fixes. Maybe they can include something for the Churchill landclass. Jesse

I sympathize with your concerns, No kidding. I am also truly sorry that someone like yourself who seems to love flying in Northern Canada would miss out on the great enhancements that UTX has offered. You are right that they didn't solve every FSX problem, but they did make some huge changes that may be worth considering. They also do listen to their customer base. Keep trying. If for no other reason than correcting the shorelines it is well worth the investment. (I also love the addition of the lighting )I hope you can reconsider and take another look. I think you will enjoy the changes. http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=utxcanv2 I also hope you will continue to provide a voice to arctic flyers looking for a bit more reality. Thanks to your comments I have been flying "Way up North" much more lately; and really enjoying it. Would love to hear more about your experiences, what you are flying and where. Blue Skies to you Cobalt. Jesse
