Yes, keep the boost pumps on from before engine start to after shutdown when the Ng drops below 10%. You are permitted to fly only 10 hrs without the boost pump during the whole engine TBO. Once you've reached the 10 hrs limit, you will have to overhaul the engine high pressure pump. Also, in real life I've experienced a hung start when I forgot to put the boost pump on. The Ng did not accelerate past 35%, the point where the secondary fuel nozzles normally kick in and you see a rapid acceleration of Ng. The FS turboprop model start-up happens far too quickly and in a real life C90, the with starter only the engine spools up and stabilizes between 16-20% Ng, depending on battery condition. In FS you can barely reach the required 12%. Br, Tero

The triple-fed bus voltage should be about 1 volt less than other buses. That is because of the diodes that protects the TPL from current flow to a failed bus. Br, Tero

In my opinion they should take all the time needed to make the Proline 2 and other systems as extensive and bug free as possible. Already almost a year since the project announcement, which I think is a good thing.Br,Tero

Hahah, well now that I actually looked again at the preview pictures, it seems to be a GNS430 with both knobs still missing. My memory served me bad and I remembered that it had the right hand knob already.You can tell it beeing a 430 by the COM/VLOC text beside the still missing left knob. If it were a GNS400 it would not have any text since the GNS400 does not have the left knob. We don't have a simulated GNS400 so I guess that makes sense to bolt in a 430.Anyway, in real life it is quite common to have a GNS400 if you don't want to change the radios as well.Sorry,Tero

The GPS you see in the C90 is the Garmin GNS400, which is a 430 without radios. A common installation when the radios are already covered, in this case with the Collins units. The Avidyne is just an MFD.Br,Tero

That is correct. That is why I think they should've sticked to the analogue gauges. The EFIS is not the best option if you want to get the product out in say 4-6 months. You always have to compromise something, either functionality, optimization or both.Just my 2 cents...Br,Tero

Also with the G1000 simulation, I would assume very basic functions and I can't see how one would update the navdata in any way. If you can't update the navdata then it is better to take the old 182 and use navaids. A lot more fun in the sim.I have the Flight1 182T but I don't like it that much. Hard on frame rates and I'm too used to the photorealistic look of Carenado VC's. The F1 model is drawn and cartoon. And no matter how much they say it is the most extensive G1000 for FS together with the Mustang, it is still very limited. They also like to say something like "some developers make aircraft with no modelled systems and release one every two months". Well, those are the ones that sell and being a real pilot, I still can't see the magic behind F1 aircraft.Anyway, although Carenado has gotten a lot better, they could still take a couple of extra months and make the aircraft systems a little more extensive and less bugs. Propably wouldn't hurt the sales that much....Br,Tero

Is there anything we can do about this? Seems to be the case with other Carenado aircraft also. The C210 altimeter is probably 3D modelled to the interior model so no way to replace or edit it the usual way?A little, but annoying detail. I'd like to see at least a selection for inHg vs hPa in the options manager.Br,Tero

Hopefully in the beginning of February....please? :)Br,Tero

Carenado,Could you please tell which LJ-number (around, don't have to specific if you are not allowed to disclose it) is this based on and which year model?Br,Tero

Looking great and waiting for this release!Br,Tero

Hi,Both altitude indicator pressure scales are in inHg only. Is there any way, except to change the indicator, for us non-US flyers to have a hectopascal scale?Br,Tero

And again new pictures, 2 new paint schemes and some interior pics, although still pretty shy tease on the instrument panel :)Br,Tero

New preview pictures posted. Appears to be equipped with Garmin G600.Br,Tero

There shouldn't be an inverter and I haven't seen one either. The avionics setup in Carenado's model doesn't need an inverter. If it had the King KFC-250 autopilot/gyro system installed, the autopilot computer, horizontal gyro and the vertical gyro require 115V/400Hz AC. FedEx installed the KFC-250 system at one point back in the days on some Caravans in order to get CAT II approach approval, which they later banned for financial reasons. The avionics we have are completely vacuum or 28V DC driven. So if your checklist has an inverter in it, it is incorrect for this setup. Br,Tero
