Parking the MU2B-60 Windshield Wipers
Trent67 replied to Airbus's topic in Flysimware Turboprop Aircraft
The same switch is used to park the wipers. Push the switch towards "PARK" and hold it there until the wipers are parked.- 1 reply

+2 A Turbo Commander would be very nice! A Solitaire after that would be great as well!

XPX, MU-2-60 she looks so pretty in this sim

Amazing shots of a beautiful aircraft! Thank you for sharing! -
Roll Rate and Elevator
Trent67 replied to Mustang92's topic in CT210M Centurion II HD Series for FSX | P3D
The video below is not a 210, but it illustrates that doing aerobatic maneuvers in GA aircraft that might potentially overstress the airframe, can be fatal. The pilot below accidentally overstressed the airframe while pulling up, which resulted in the Partenavia's wing's breaking off. I just thought I'd share this clip, since I don't want people to think that I encourage aerobatic maneuvers in aircraft not designed to do it in real life. -
ANNOUNCING...The Flysimware MU-2!
Trent67 replied to capceo's topic in Flysimware Turboprop Aircraft
You're welcome! If you look at the real MU-2B-60 Pilot's Operating Manual you will find more confirmation that the airspeed indicator in the Flysimware MU-2 is exactly the same airspeed indicator that was fitted to the MU-2 Marquise from the factory. Check out page 49 of the .pdf below... http://givdemo.com/images/N360RA%20POM%20&%20AFM.pdf -
Beacon Sound / Torque Above Red Line
Trent67 replied to f4sup's topic in Flysimware Turboprop Aircraft
In real life Garretts have excellent power response as well as quick throttle response... much better than PT6A's which have a LOT of lag. In this regard Garretts are nicer to fly. Garretts are more fuel efficient as well. FSX is known to have several limitations when it comes to modeling turboprops, however, and this should be kept in mind. Having said that, one thing that is certain, is that pushing the power levers all the way to the firewall on takeoff should not be done with any turboprop, Garrett of PT6, since it will result in the engines being over-torqued. As mentioned, ease the power in to avoid going over the red line. As you climb, you'll notice the torque decrease with altitude (as it should in real life), you can then ease a bit more throttle in as you climb to compensate. -
ANNOUNCING...The Flysimware MU-2!

Another close-up of the MU-2B-60 airspeed indicator clearly showing the white arc (80 to 120 KIAS). The green arc (up to 250 KIAS) is a bit more visible in this photo than the others, due to the sunlight falling on it. -
ANNOUNCING...The Flysimware MU-2!

Higfonseca, Aircraft often have their instruments updated by the manufacturer over the course of production. The airspeed indicator in your photo is ancient. Probably from an early model MU-2, not a Marquise. Also, although fitted to some MU-2's, an airspeed indicator that goes all the way to 400 knots is ridiculous in an aircraft that has a VMO of 250 KIAS. I can understand why the later airspeed indicators were changed to 300 knots... it makes it much easier to read speed accurately if it only reads up to 300 knots. The white arc on the later MU-2's only indicated the speed range of the flaps at 40 degrees (From 77 to 120 KIAS in the Marquise). The photos below are from three different MU-2's. As you can see, all three of them have the same airspeed indicator as the Flysimware Marquise. All three are marked up to 300 knots. VMO is 250 KIAS. The white arc reaches from 77 to 120 KIAS (80 to 120 KIAS on some airspeed indicators). The blue line speed of an MU-2 is 150 KIAS, with the actual blue line on the airspeed indicator slightly to the higher side of the white 150 KIAS line for clarity. -
Roll Rate and Elevator
Trent67 replied to Mustang92's topic in CT210M Centurion II HD Series for FSX | P3D
By the way, for those thinking of getting their pilot's license and trying maneuvers such as in the video above without specialized aerobatics training, or in an aircraft not rated for it... DON'T! Although these maneuvers are possible if performed by an experienced and skilled pilot with specialized training in such maneuvers, if not done correctly, things can and will go wrong very quickly, which can lead to over-stressing the aircraft with fatal results. You don't want to end up like the guy who managed to break up his Beechcraft Baron in mid-air because he wanted to show off... http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2007/July/1/What-was-he-thinking -
Roll Rate and Elevator
Trent67 replied to Mustang92's topic in CT210M Centurion II HD Series for FSX | P3D
I agree completely. I don't mean to dig up an old thread, but having spent my fair share of time in a real 210, I agree with all that Mustang92 said... a roll rate of 90 degrees a second sounds about right for a Cessna 210. For those that haven't had the pleasure of piloting a real 210, check out the video below of a Cessna 210 doing an aileron roll ( Not my video by the way ).
