I always wanted to fly in a Porter but never did. I saw a guy at our local airfield doing some maneuvers with it. Was pretty awesome. I am also really looking forward to this.
Thank you Captain!
I would add that I really appreciate this method of keeping the community engaged, releasing little videos of current developments.
Agreed, as a tester again limited what I can say ā¦ I would like to echo Angernerveās comments too it felt very very real on the stall dynamics ā¦ very very impressed.
As a tester all I can say is this is going to be an amazing aircraft for this sim keep up the good work
Seems like everyone but me is testingā¦ I must have missed the call
Thank you Sir! We are proud that the real bush pilot with such great flight experience was the first test pilot in our Project!
Hi orthi! You will have this bird one day!
Ooh have been waiting for one of these. Iāve bought myself a PC-6 on FSEconomy after reading this thread. Bring it on!!
Hi OldManTriple69! Thank you for your attention to the PC-6 project. We didnāt test our PC-6 with FSEconomy yet. We will check compatibility later. I hope everything will be fine!
As long as itās named one of the following itāll work fine:
Pilatus PC-6 Porter
Pilatus Porter
Pilatus Porter Amphibian
Porter Amphibian PC-6
etc etc. Thereās 250 variations they accept but the above are the more generic. Iām sure no matter what you name the release, they will be happy to add an Alias as well.
Iāve ārenamedā one of the liveries of the Cessna 208 Grand caravan so I can ferry it around in the mean time, which works just fine
Names can always be added (or even custom hacked in liveries - this is how I fly a Kodiak in FSE with the MSFS C208)
Biggest problem is if the fuel tank names and capacities donāt line up with what FSE is expecting.
For the PC-6 FSE is expecting
L Aux - 64 gal
L Main - 87 gal
R Main - 87 gal
R Aux - 64 gal
Interesting, had zero issues using the Caravan renamed to āPilatus PC-6 Porterā - which doesnāt even have aux tanks!
Maybe the simconnect client is lenient.
(sorry to derail)
Lets make it next Tuesday. Just kidding. I really enjoy your engagement with the community and look forward to the release, whenever that will be.
I believe the AUX tanks are optional wingtip tanks so I wouldnāt be surprised if the FSE client is happy with those being left alone
There is no place for a copilot in a skydivers PC-6.
Iād like to have ten brainless animated skydivers, opening the door, getting in place (4 outside, 6 inside) shouting āReady,Set,Goā and jumping out of the plane.
