[ANNOUNCEMENT] FlightSimGames (FSG) Pilatus Porter PC-6 (payware)

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.

Agreed, as a tester again limited what I can say … I would like to echo Angernerve’s comments too it felt very very real on the stall dynamics … very very impressed.

Hi OldManTriple69! Thank you for your attention to the PC-6 project. We didn’t test our PC-6 with FSEconomy yet. We will check compatibility later. I hope everything will be fine! :grinning: :+1:

As long as it’s named one of the following it’ll work fine:

Pilatus PC-6 Porter
Pilatus Porter
Pilatus Porter Amphibian
Porter Amphibian PC-6

etc etc. There’s 250 variations they accept but the above are the more generic. I’m sure no matter what you name the release, they will be happy to add an Alias as well.

I’ve ā€˜renamed’ one of the liveries of the Cessna 208 Grand caravan so I can ferry it around in the mean time, which works just fine :stuck_out_tongue:

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 don’t 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 ā€œPilatus PC-6 Porterā€ - which doesn’t even have aux tanks! :rofl:

Maybe the simconnect client is lenient.

(sorry to derail)

Lets make it next Tuesday. :wink: 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 wouldn’t be surprised if the FSE client is happy with those being left alone :slight_smile:

Hi Folks!
Do you like to have animated copilot INSIDE the Cockpit?

9 Likes

There is no place for a copilot in a skydivers PC-6.
I’d like to have ten brainless animated skydivers, opening the door, getting in place (4 outside, 6 inside) shouting ā€œReady,Set,Goā€ and jumping out of the plane.
