  1. Using the latest beta this fix seems to make taxying easier. Thanks for that
  2. Using the latest beta version with propwash and rudder interconnect turned off, I couldn’t get the aircraft to slide. With rudder interconnect on, I managed to slide when my landing speed was too high. Otherwise, it’s nicely weighted and pleasant to fly.
  3. I successfully obtained the discount, although the website's interface could be more intuitive. The initial installation from the downloaded file failed, as it appeared to be the 2020 version without the side EFB. I removed it and tried again using the installer app, which finally succeeded. Although I only took a couple of short flights, I need to recalibrate my bindings. It is worth reviewing the three documents in the Community Folder.
  4. On reflection, the released model appears cleaner than expected (possibly due to the SU7 drag issue). The panel language has been switched to English by clicking "ENG" in the top-left corner of the T Panel. Still good value though.
  5. I saw this coming and thought, "Not for me" — but for under £10, I took the plunge. What a delight it is! Most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing, yet it flies beautifully, and landings straight into reverse demonstrate terrific STOL performance. The graphics and sound are exactly where you'd want them to be. I'm looking forward to the Manual which should have been available now given the unfamiliar cockpit.
  6. Flew on DanAir's Comets twice on holiday flights. As a steerage class passenger I remember it being every bit as comfortable as today's jets. Probably a false memory but they were good. A Comet landing on a wet runway was a spectacular site with the reversers throwing a wall of water ahead of the wings ; I'd like to see that replicated.
  7. Yup ,the Turbocharger model appears to work for me. I have no real life experience of flying a turbocharged airplane but armed with the real POH I started a cruise climb at 500 fpm to a Pressure Altitude of 24000ft / Density Altitude 26000 at the book figure 2500 RPM Manifold 27.5. Power started to drop off at about 18/19000ft but under these conditions could be increased to the required setting all the way up and into the cruise. Some leaning of the mixture is possible at higher levels. 100 miles to do the climb and 167kts cruise at the end.....half fuel and no load I look at Carenado in a new light.
  8. It flies beautifully, with fuel and oxygen consumption at appropriate rates, and realistic icing behaviour. The sound effects are among the finest I have heard, rivalling the premium audio packages available for the TBM850. I was unsure about the type of turbocharger installed on the C206, as adjusting the mixture had little to no effect while crossing the North Atlantic. Yes it will probably go the same way as others (into the hanger ) but I look on that like an Airplane Museum The enjoyment is in pulling out an airplane when you fancy. Currently reading a real POH from the internet for more insights into the Turbo operation.
  9. That's where they go. Unless on approach or deliberately slow flying you just leave the throttle maxed out like that and control power with the prop. The electronics do the rest. Don't forget the preflight automatic check that takes its time but when the lights go out , you're fit to fly. (The check is done when all the oils are in the green , throttle open and 1700-1800 rpm)
  10. I've not seen weeping fluid over the edges but the TKS system is modelled with appropriate warnings being flagged for mis use while detailed fluid levels etc show on the Engine Screen. To be honest I'm enjoying this as much as the earlier version even though it's a very gentle flyer. I believe that IRL they have started using one from the Beach at Barra.
  11. I enjoyed this in 2020, so the small update fee was a no-brainer. Navigraph works well for me. If you want to use Career Mode, wait for it to appear in the Marketplace, but be prepared to pay the full price.
  12. Oh yes it will ground loop if you're not careful and smack into a Glider Transporter where the propeller comes apart and the engine explodes. Just another Easter Egg from Got Friends.
  13. Not my experience based on his own website. I ended up getting a PayPal Refund following a period of pay your money and get nothing.
  14. Everything is fine now and running as it should ( originally a JF Purchase ) Thanks for the info though.
  15. If you purchase this software, be sure to review the installation program to ensure it installs to the correct location. In my experience, it took a couple of attempts, and even now, some textures for the free paint jobs are missing. Perhaps I expected too much from a sound pack, but Boris's efforts have never disappointed.
