Britten Norman Trislander (Study Level) AVAILABLE NOW

I am assuming this is the same RICK I have been dealing with over email for the last week ?
We are investigating as you know and we will update the product just as soon as we can find the cause.

this is nothing to do with your key bindings and appears to be a fault / anomaly of the New MSFS nose wheel lock parameters from SU9

I managed my flight with no issues this time, well apart from my trackir have a spaz attack but thatā€™s no fault of the Trislander!

Thanks much. In our last email exchange I thought you had indicated it was working for you using the updated file. So just wanted to see if I was the Lone Ranger here. Thx again

Yes, I think I understand. Even when I turned on airframe stress, and I was doing full loops at 127kts at 126ft/s^2 which is 3.947g it still wouldnā€™t crash. I had no luck with negative G either, though I could only pull off a paltry -1.43g.

Iā€™m guessing I wouldnā€™t get away with that here. :wink:

nahh ā€¦ still investigating why its working here :slight_smile:
relax ā€¦ do some ā€œfull flightsā€ LOL
we will get back to you

The posts above led me to try and figure out what the Trislanderā€™s maneuver speed is. I havenā€™t found anything yet, but I did find this in the BN-2 Islander

Iā€™m no aeronautical engineer, but seeing as the aircraft are similar I would guess itā€™s around that same 107kts or so.

Iā€™m still trying to figure out how to calculate the proper v1 / rotate speeds based on weight for the Trislander. Will let you all know if I figure it out!

(edit) While weā€™re talking about speeds, Iā€™ve been trying to figure out how to calculate v1 / rotate speeds for the Trislander. Section 6, figures 6.3 / 6.3a has some adjustments, but Iā€™m having a hard time figuring out: For x weight at y altitude and temperature, use flaps z and speeds aaā€¦

Anyone got any hints on that?

Apologies if this has been answered. This looks great, a very unique looking aircraft (ugly, as some have said haha).

Are there any plans to bring this to the humble Xbox? I own the Islander and thatā€™s a great bird to fly.

I do believe that is the plan. It can take a while though depending on how fast the Xbox folks do their QA and stuff.

I was supposed to be on the 3pm slot, but got there early and managed to jump onto the 1pm tour instead. Did you get to go on the AA Islander, or did you just do the hangar tour?

What is this tour? Do you get to go up in an islander?

Unfortunately only something like a once-a-year affair, I think. Check out the BN Facebook page for info. Iā€™d love to time my next trip from Australia to visit my sister in the Isle of Wight so it coincides with the next factory open day, but probably a long shot.
Meanwhile Iā€™m still waiting and hoping for a decent Lee-on-Solent airport add-onā€¦ there is one on flightsim.to but it doesnā€™t look that great and is over a year old now I think.

Ah nice, I was on the 3pm. Didnā€™t do Air Alderney, unfortunately, but very nice to see them at the event. Good publicity for them so hopefully things all go well regarding their operations to and from the island.

Avionics conflict is resolved, thank you.
But autopilot conflict is still there. On Cessna 310 with Trislander installed i cant set target altitude to autopilot.

Yes, I know you are all going to berate me for not reading this or thaat, but a quick Q anyway. How does one select the Aspen avionics fit? I simply see the Trislander in ā€œotherā€ on selection and have as yet to discover a livery with the required fit. I am not senile. Yetā€¦

Hit the Aspen icon on the panel when inside the plane.

How easy would it be to get a modified paint kit for the shortnose variants? I can kinda make the adjustment in my head with the current paintkit but it would make it a lot easier to have one specifically for shortnose liveries. Thanks!

Cheers Niff, I will look at that tomorrow, when I next get the chance.
