Torbinator

I saw some beta flights on this aircraft a few months back. Nothing as of late. Can anyone share any progress on this project?

I like what you are saying here, as I shared the same fear with Matt. My biggest hopes would be as you experiment with this testbed for achieving the greatest degree of realism your company strives for on the X-Plane platform, we then see your other fantastic airliners come to X-Plane as well. Then, as the dedicated pilots of your aircraft get to experience how these aircraft fly in X-Plane compared to other sims, more and more will come over to the Laminar side. Hopefully that would result in more people encouraging established scenery developers to jump on the bandwagon with them, where we could finally see an X-Plane world develop into its greatest potential, based on the flight model that the XPX pilots have always loved, the detailed visuals the MSFS pilots have flown in, and the best aircraft developers taking advantage of both of these aspects. Thank you PMDG for giving this a shot...

Hello RKillins. I'm not familiar with the model you are flying and the exact context that is being presented to you, but it looks to be that they're asking you to consider the indicated airspeed as you're coming in. However, where we normally refer to IAS as indicated airspeed, it's putting it in a V-speed format. I'm giving you a link to a PDF I found when trying to search more on your question. Take a look at the example below the graph on page 5–3, which is page 3 of the PDF. http://www.fox-air.com/downloads/jrfmsect5performancesed1rev0.pdf Hope this helps!

Hi SouthPawPaul and skully, thanks! skully, yes it is, in lower altitude hills of the PA area. I wanted to do a nice flight that required a lot of VOR work, so I took off out of the East Hampton airport in NY (KHTO), then flew east on V268-AVONN-PVD and shot the ILS RWY 5 into KPVD via the feeder from PVD. Did a quick touch n go, executed the missed procedure to FOSTY, then headed southwest on V16-ORW-V308-BOROS-V34-CREAM-V16-CCC-V46-DPK-V1-DIXIE-V276-ARD-V147-ETX-V162-HWANG-V170-SEG-V6-PSB. Besides being a busy route, its kinda scenic with coastlines and hills along the way if you have some VFR settings, even with generic topography. At this point I shot the VOR RWY 24 into KPSB in PA. Another touch n go, followed by the missed approach procedure. I completed a full circuit in the hold, then took the 22.3 nm feeder into the LOC RWY 6 at KRVL. When you do the procedure turn, it sets you up on a nice long localizer with a nice view of mountains on both sides. Well, more like hills I guess

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. Figured I'd share a few shots. This plane is fantastic! The screenshots were with No HDR, flying in standard scenery, mesh, and sky colors. I'm considering upgrading those perimeters with some 3rd party options. Clicking makes em pretty HUGE Enjoy!
