  1. 8.) Suction gauge reads high and source indicators are inop
  2. The GPS modeled on this plane is a handheld device and in the real world there is no connection between the GPS and the autopilot or HSI or VOR indicator! In reality you would have to use the screen on the unit to give heading information and either hand fly or set the autopilot to follow the heading bug on the heading indicator. To be accurate as far as what is modeled the NAV/GPS switch shouldn't even be included!
  3. DC-6!! They are still being used in Alaska by Everts Air Cargo
  4. same situation here, not burning any fuel
  5. Look at the left strut where it attaches to the wing. you'll notice two openings for the pitot tubes along with two screws to secure them.
  6. On the older turn and bank indicators it only shows a deflection when banking (roll axis), the newer turn coordinators show a deflection for bank and yaw ( roll and yaw axis). This is because of the way the gyroscope is positioned in the housing, In the t+b the gyro is vertical while in the turn coordinator the gyro is canted.
  7. Front fuel pump "high" switch operates front fuel pump and "low" switch operates rear fuel pump. The rear fuel pump switches don't appear to do anything.
  8. Correct, feathering the prop only moves the blades, the condition lever mechanically shuts off the fuel. In fact you can run the engine with the prop completely feathered.
  9. Hi, has anyone else noticed the props aren't behaving properly? The first thing I noticed was the inability to feather them, then after more experimentation I noticed they consistantly changed RPM with changes in manifold pressure, which they shouldn't do being constant speed props. Personally I think they need to be looked at.
  10. I don't know about your hardware settings, but on the real Caravan the prop is feathered, then the condition lever moved to cutoff- so yes a two step process
  11. I've done several dusk flights without any CTD's, all over Orbx scenery and going from fullday through dusk onto night
  12. Not yet, apparently he's still waiting for the SDK
  13. Have to agree with everyone here, I haven't had any problems at all with this aircraft, and I have a pretty low end system (Pentium Dual Core!). You just have to be reasonable with your settings and not e pect miracles, I have REX. GEX, UTX and UTII at 100% and get 15-20 fps
  14. Personally, I would love to see the 737 classic series, specifically the -400 with combi and freighter versions. That would round out Alaska Airlines' fleet! Respectfully,Dave Scalora
  15. Just bought the NGX and OMG what a beauty!! My next purchase though will definately be the 337, I've been waiting for that one for a while.
