Re: Comanche with turbo engine?
What I mean that there never was, to my knowledge, an STC out there to install an IO-720 into Comanche 250. It is not directly about how much a change and work it would be as such, rather laborious ones indeed do exist. But more that it was never done (except possibly, however very unlikely, experim...

Re: Comanche with turbo engine?
The 400 was never an engine mod of a 250 but a completely different model of an aircraft. In case of V35, the optional IO-550 engine would represent a fairly common STC'd alternative to the IO-520 power plants, both Continentals.

Re: Paro - VQPR runway 15 approach
Okay, I assume you are using PMS GTN then.
The GTN should not load these approaches, but I assume a case of relaxed realism from their part.

Re: Paro - VQPR runway 15 approach
Out of curiosity, did you build the approach yourself? Even while Garmins do not / can not readily support RNP AR, they still allow constructing a regular flight plan using, basically, whatever waypoints you want. https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lsk7sdl76zk2rn4uiepjd/vqpr2.png?rlkey=151khwngyqx3jazs1h...

Re: Paro - VQPR runway 15 approach
In practice, no, it really isn't. You really don't have any residual performance whatsoever that high in conditions that are probably above ISA temperatures as well. That said, you probably can get it that high with light aircraft. Use full throttle, full RPM or thereabouts, and lean for best power....

Re: Next Plane For 2020
Oh my how different it would be. :) The A2A Comanche in MSFS is just about the first proper simulation of the dihedral effect on the platform, where you can properly bank the airplane with some rudder (or by slipping it otherwise, including by not paying attention). As far as I can figure it out, t...

Re: Next Plane For 2020
Anyways, the more I exercise the idea of maybe hopefully having Aerostar in the sim one day, the more I like it. While the type is a bit niche, it still is properly fast, well into 200s in knots. It also has wing loading at the high end in what comes to the pistons, but comfortably not quite in the...

Re: Next Plane For 2020
For whatever reason, I find the aforementioned A320 being the easiest thing to sim-fly I've got. When you get reasonably fluent speaking Airbus, it is usually rather easy to accomplish most goals assisted by automation, and the systems all but take care of themselves, all the way to reminding you to...

Re: How do I change the oil?
In real-life context, I'd recommend strongly against extending oil/filter changes unnecessarily. While hitting the schedule precisely is nothing to obsess about, changing the oil regularly and more or less as recommended - and especially respecting calendar intervals with less-flown frames - is perh...

Re: Emergencies in descent
There is not much you can do from inside the cockpit to immediately cause such issues. Are you using the auction option, perhaps? I am not sure why it would be particularly advisable to only lower the nose of the plane when descending, as a general rule, if you don't find it working out as desired. ...

Re: Next Plane For 2020
Yes, please!
Personally, I am looking forward the most for aircraft that come with higher complexity. For me, managing a simulated aircraft is at least as big, or more likely, a bigger thing than simply flying it.

Re: How to set up the radio navigation
Nice glimpse of Mount Edgecumbe. You're also the second person recently that I've heard / seen call Wrangell "Wrangler". Funny that there's commonality there. The other one was a new-hire at my airline... Thankfully we got her corrected before she showed up to do her Southeast OE trip. 😁 ...

Re: How do I change the oil?
I recall in one of the launch videos that if you simply top up the oil, it will mix the old & new together, so it'll go from very dark to a lighter shade. Neat feature, and knowing that makes it easier to understand that, as in real life, to completely change the oil you have to empty it first,...
