Re: DH2T Turbo Beaver

Hi Joe, FYI, I'll take the "converted" version with a gross weight of 5370 if that makes it easier for you guys. I think the empty on it is 2590 lbs. Cruise is 154 KIAS, VNE 173. Same engine so fuel burn is still the same at 400-425 lbs per hour takeoff thrust, 225-275 lbs per hour cruise (depending...

Re: DH2T Turbo Beaver

Thanks Joe, that got me further down the river until I hit this snag. I've already contacted Admin, so now it's time to wait with fingers crossed for a Turbo Beaver to be created. :) https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZIMwRxjWXNw/Tx4Q7ka7T0I/AAAAAAAAAL8/gnT4LCqlINk/s720/turbo%252520beaver%252520spec...

Re: DH2T Turbo Beaver

Been there, done that and it won't agree with the weights. I sent an email to support for assistance with screenshots of real world specs right off Viking Air's site. I think the database must have old DHC-2 specs and this is just about a whole new airplane not an old DHC2 with a turboprop bolted on.

DH2T Turbo Beaver

I'm trying to get a new aircraft in the system, the Viking Air/de Havilland Canada Turbo Beaver. It is a much different aircraft than the old DHC2 Beaver, carries 8 pax + 250 lbs cargo instead of 6 and 0 and flies faster/higher with a lighter empty weight. There are a couple of Turbo Beavers (one w/...

Re: Default FSX 208 Caravan

Thanks Cap! Yeah, I make sure my pilots know to always use the dry operating weights listed in the aircraft information page and not to use whatever they want. It's easy for aircraft with a working FMS/CDU but otherwise it's .cfg tweaking time. I can make one to match, rename it and post it for them...

Default FSX 208 Caravan

Hi Everyone, Quick question which a search did not come up with an answer. Our VA has both Grand Caravans and Cargomasters. I was asked by a new pilot today if he can fly either using the default FSX Caravan? As it has the belly pod, I would think yes even though it will have windows, but I am using...

Re: Prepar3D

Much over reaction indeed....sorry... It has been brought to my attention that Prepar3D actually wants active participation by pilots and professionals including "hardcore" flight simulator enthusiasts. Anyone can try the program through the Developer subscription at $9.95 per month. The end user ag...

Awards for successful landing after inflight emergency

OK, I've noticed FSA is generating more frequent inflight emergencies lately even on well maintained aircraft. That's cool with me, great procedure practice! Now if the elves in the workshop could figure out a way to award pilots who have successfully landed after dealing with an inflight emergency ...

Re: ICAO change in Armenia

Thinking about this issue some more, if we land at Zvartnots, the lat/long should tell the FSA system we are in the correct place regardless of the code, right? If that's the case, then we only need to file our flight plan into UGEE on FSA, then file our flight plan in FSX to UDYZ. Once we get there...

Re: ICAO change in Armenia

CapFlyer, 'search' only turns up 3 replies, so whatever was discussed previously does not come up under ICAO Armenia or Zvartnots search criteria..... I'm just finding out about this problem here in 2011/2012. FSX actually has the UDYZ code and FSA has UGEE. Having said that, I wonder if there is a ...

If you don't, Dr. Evil living deep inside the FSA castle will make bad things happen to your planes inflight ..... things like gear that won't come down, even when hitting the m...
