[AzurPoly Group] - Transall C-160

A bug oddly shared with the DC-6, if so. I don’t think I’ve ever enabled the GNS unit, so maybe that was a trigger.

Yes, don’t think you can use NAV2/TACAN as an AP source yet no matter what combo of switches.

I also never had enabled it. First time now to switch from GPS to VLOC.

Hi,
I’m trying configure my Honey Bravo to work with the controls, and I’m lost on how to bind the Left and Right Idle Levers. Has anyone figured it out?

I’m trying to get the Air Conditioner to work, but its always stuck at about 15 degrees C. Can anyone tell what I’m doing wrong? I’ve tried running on engines and APU. The manual is not detailed enough on this section.

Same here. It’s about 20°C.
Don’t know if the AC is very strong or is just stuck :smiley:

On ground, make sure air compressor is on (next to the APU starter). Then check if APU bleed valve is open. I don’t know if the model simulates both, manual and automatic temperature change. For manual usage, you havce to push the lever either in the “warm” or “cold” direction. For automatic operation, the lever was pushed downwards (and remained there), temp change was directed by turning the wheel right of the red protection cap (APU VENTILATION).
To operate in the air, both engine bleed valves had to be open.

That said, I can’t tell, if the procedures are correctly modelled inside the sim.

For a OAT of -50°C, the aircondition could hold a temperature of 18°C inside the aircraft, for temps up to +50°C you could lower the temperture inside about -5°C difference to the OAT, so outside 35°C meant +30°C inside.

Updates are in the enclosed manual.

I put those on my Logitech throttle quadrants with an L:variable read from the Sim through Axis&Ohs.

Yes that is pretty much what is outlined in the manual. The image I posted above reflects what I had in the air with the air valves from the turboprops, but I tried on the ground with the APU also. Yet the temperature never changed. The manual dose not state that the A/C function is not modeled in the simulator, so either I’m overlooking something or there’s some important details missing.

I suggest you write AzurPoly via the mail adress they provide on their webpage. I`m sure, they will come back to you and explain, DId that before and was not disappointed.

Vertical guidance from the AP is very poor. When in altitude hold mode, setting flaps 20 and lowering the gear the aircraft will oscillate as much as +/- 500 ft vertical speed.

Also when in pitch hold mode, clicking pitch up or down will give up to 500 ft difference in VS.

Is this something that others also see or is it just me?

Is there a more detailed reference speeds table somewhere? Like containing gear extension and gear extended speeds? Also speeds for spoilers.

There is a link to some very detailed information in post 161 upthread.

Thank you! This includes a manual for a Transall from FS2004. In there I found some of the reference speeds (page 114):

flaps 20° - 200kts
flaps 30° - 160kts
flaps 40° - 140kts

Gear up/down - 170 kts
Ramp open/close - 140kts
Ramp open - 160 kts

Wipers - 150kts

Anyone having issues or know any fixes for a problem im having with AP, AP will hold alt but if i set ti climb nothing happens, it remains at original alt. This is using the tablet AP function. Any help appreciated thanks

I change altitude in the FMS panel , been working fine for me

I purchased the ORBX Azurpoly Transall C160 yesterday and installed after uninstalling the market place C160. Will hopefully be looking at the .cfg files today. IFR flight using P50-GTN750 today seems pretty much the same.

Did you buy it twice or did they give you the marketplace purchase back?
