So the BN-2A Mk III-4 version of the Trislander had a 350lb rocket assisted takeoff device equipped to them.
Just saying…

Congratulations on release. She sure looks good from what i have seen so far. Any estimated time for the marketplace? I had to buy the Islander there too as well since i don’t have a Paypal acount.
Would be nice if it was possible to use one of those payment types that, while it uses Paypal to handle it, you can just pay with a card without having to have a Paypal acount.
I’m right there with 'ya!!! I can’t seem to find any pictures or videos of it in action though, and that disappoints me.
Carb icing carb icing carb icing …
(or mixture) LOL

I thought we had it setup so you can pay by card without a PP Account ??
I will look into this today
Yes please bear with us we will investigate

Graham, you are learning from PMDG in the “art of reveal” and building of anticipation. Good on you! I love your work and will get my hands on this in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I have a backlog of aircraft to buy and fly as a lot of quality stuff has come out lately and I have been swamped with work. But this will be a buy, no doubt. Thanks for the strides in your craft.

Marketplace lead time is still around 4 weeks we believe
although there is now a new system in place …
we don’t know if it will improve things or make them worse … Yet
Thank you. I just rechecked and it does want me to log in to PP unfortunately.

Have bought it and flown it, and am liking how similar yet different it is to the Islander. Definitely will take some getting used to in terms of handling in comparison. It’s great that some things I was already doing in the BN2 for the sake of it (fuel pumps, external power switch) now may have actual consequences. And very happy about the addition of liveries with custom regos. Makes me want to dust off NeoFly and actually do some cargo missions again. Well done BBS!

Have yet to get near the PC and so for those of you that have, here is the 64K question. What is the Trislander like in the approach phase? What is the ILS and glideslope performance like?

OH, Thank God you cant find reference
Here’s one that’s a bit less than optimal… There’s a bit of a breeze at the rearmost righthand side door. I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned here. It does have a gap at the top when looking at the outside model as well.
Aaahhh… that reminds me of my old Lamd Rover series 2. Mind you, I got over that by removing the door tops and roof as well. Wont work quite so well here though
This is a general note for everyone: when going through the venturi in the carburetor, air can cool by as much as 70 degrees Fahrenheit. So you can very easily get carburetor icing in very warm, humid climates. In fact it’s hot and humid is ideal for carb icing.
This one definitely meets the stability criteria that you and I were discussing in another thread. It feels appropriately heavy, it responds gently to trim inputs with no wild swings and it can be trimmed for level flight like a real aircraft would. Small amounts of turbulence don’t bounce it like a six year old on the knee of an uncle with chronic anxiety. It really is a wonderful evolutionary step up from the Islander and it has plenty of performance to satisfy all my island hopping wishes. I also must say that three engines is very entertaining to deal with.

Does anyone know where exactly in the POH Section 6 the Takeoff Safety Speeds and Landing Speeds are found? I only find the Distances on page 75.
Thanks.
Is there a way to map the Carb heat controls to a device axis - if I’m having to break out the spare throttle quadrant to correctly map the prop and mixtures controls I might as well use the 3 spare axis for something
