did you reset the left alternartor by a giving a brief upside push to the switch ? (close to batt)
Thanks for the reply. Got it squared away.
Great screenshots. That’s a very cool little airport to fly to. Been there a few times in the sim. I should take the King Air there
This is where I made my mistake. I thought one click turned them on. But two up clicks is what I needed. Temps working properly! Thanks to you and the other replies to my post.
I had everything working perfect before, but on my last flight I didn’t get any indications on the annunciator when going into descent profile or IAS. The plane did descend though, so not sure what’s up.
A video everyone should watch to get familiar with the startup checklist. He literally goes through almost every item in the checklist
This was released back in August… and when the aircraft was released this month, i think the video ended up slipping under a lot of people’s radars.
isn’t how supposed to work a constant speed hydraulically propellor ? (How A Constant Speed Propeller Works | Boldmethod // 8 Types of Aircraft Propellers in Detail (Photos) - Aero Corner ) if there is some diference between reality and the sim is due to sim limitation, regarding FF and RPM did ton of test since I did help JD to tweak his model, and function are linear so can’t be tweaked that much in order to match the exact reallity
When starting the engines my ITT goes above start? I’m using the checklists and have watched every YT video, including the one above, and engine 1 always goes over the start line?
Any ideas?
this pike is normal
“Engine Limitations
Maximum ITT: 820°C (T/O) 785°C (Climb) 765°C (Cruise) 1090°C (Starting)” from blacksquare manual
anyway you can get a lower ITT result if you manage the Condition Lever during the start like in this B300 video
I thought somewhere devs had explain they were using value from engine manual itself since the POH wasn’t 100% accurate, maybe was he speaking ITT , anyway in sim we can have the 1090 depending how you start it
on POH the say 1000 … (I assume it’s in "engine operating limit part"wich don’t mean it s real value, but are just indicative )
added two screenshot of different IG spike regarding start scenario
Ok thank you, my mistake I thought the start line was the limit. Not at the computer right now but I’ll check the actual top spike
I’ve now had a chance to fiddle around with external power while parked and I think I can answer your first question.
If you request a push back and afterwards check the ext pwr voltage you’ll find it is zero.
This is because, when a gpu cable is connected to the aircraft, the meter shows the voltage available from the gpu even if the external power switch is turned off.
Once the gpu cable is no longer connected to the aircraft i.e. after push back, there will be no power there.
Thinking about buying this one but I have onr question. Since this is a turboprop do you have to enable automixture in the settings?
No. There’s no mixture in this. It’s high-idle and low-idle.
Just like in EVERY turboprop.
edited my post to go further in explanation
This is normal and correct.
In a free turbine like the PT6, there is no physical connection between the gas turbine and the propeller. Changing prop speed doesn’t change the Ng% or fuel flow, and therefore the power being produced is the same.
Reducing the prop leaver with a constant power, causes an RPM drop due to increasing the propeller pitch angle. The thrust being produced however remains the same, and his is why there is no noticeable change in airspeed.
Reducing prop RPM is primarily for passenger comfort by reducing noise levels.
So in AvAngels video he/she complained about poor framerate. Is this the case or is it something on his/her side?
is he using ftsim+ sound ? I noticed having fps issue with this sound pack on my end
