Decided to take the Tri up in the mountains. It is really amazing to think what we are having the ability to fly in and around.

I just flew this Placerville (KPVF) to Lake Tahoe (KTVL) just to see the new Asobo Tahoe airport scenery. BoyâŠa lot of fun getting over the mountains in the TrislanderâŠin between peaks and stall warning soundingâŠleaning mixture was a challenge. Try it!

Oh haha thanks.
Nah, it was nap time in the back 
Thanks for the tip. Just did it, she handled it like a champ. But then again i have been flying her in PNG as well over much higher terrain. Leaning is not hard just watch the EGT gauge and keep just rich of peak and she will climb happy at like 1000ft/m and keep 100kts IAS. That airport looked really nice btw!

nicely done. Yes the airport is well done
Hmm⊠Iâm getting outer/middle marker alerts⊠even though I havenât tuned the ILS for the runway. Iâm wailling to bet theyâre not linked to the ILS freq or itâs an Asobo issue, but just incase, thought Iâd bring it up.
Also noticed the fuel pump audio doesnât shut off with the battery master off. I canât tell if i have any pressure for obvious reasons!
They never were linked to the ILS ?
AFAIK The Marker beacons are independent of any tuned radio
I will investigate the Pump sound but If your batteries are off why would you need fuel pressure anyway ?
It was more that I couldnât check if there was pressure than needing pressure - was trying to be comprehensive.
Yes, it seems ILS markers are totally independent & fixed freq, which makes much more sense now Iâm less surprised & thought about it for a bit.

You will indeed get those regardless of whether youâve got the ILS tuned or not.
Theyâre marker beacons

If any of you are on VATSIM, thereâs an event on this evening which would totally suit the Trislander.
Unfortunately I canât post links but google âVATSIM events Seaside Dashâ!
Hope to see/hear some of you this evening!

Hey folks! If you follow the Islander stuff too, this might look familiar.
If youâve got a Honeycomb Bravo and didnât know, there are folks out there making aircraft / type specific levers!
One of the people I buy stuff from is a guy named Doug. His shop on Etsy is âiDigStuffâ. I love his replacement levers because the center sections are aluminum and not 3D printed box sections. (I own several sets of his stuff - JU-52, DC-6, Islander, and a C208 torque lever. I think itâs all good quality stuff. (Iâm not being paid for this, I buy everything like everyone else!)
So this is what the Islander levers look like. Stand is also from Etsy, shop name is âFlightSimFactoryâ. Also good stuff!
âŠthen today, Doug messaged me this:
I only had to bother him for months to get him going.
Throttle #2 is a narrow little thing compared to #1 and #3! He said heâs got to do some testing, print a test set, correct that, and then he can sell!
Iâm excited. I will definitely be ordering a set!

I wonder if he can do this as an addon to the Islander set? the extra prop lever is obvious, but whether the throttle will fit without bending the existing ones more I donât know. Iâd definitely be interested if it was just an addon.
Also a 146 set if heâs taking requestsâŠ

As I understand it, it would not work. The Trislander stuff had to be bent and checked against itself to make sure none of the levers were fouling. Maybe @iDigStuff can chime in, but I think it would be difficult to make that center lever for the Trislander without having the other two levers present. @iDigStuffâs âŠstuff is all artisan and hand-crafted. 
Not sure if this was mentioned. I emailed Blackbox about it shortly after release but never received a response:
On the short-nose Trislander with the registration-on-tail option (such as the Aloha Airlines repaint, for example), the red counterweight forward of the elevator on the right side of the tail has a texture bleed through issue. Quite simply, the texture flickers on and off, and is quite distracting. This issue is NOT present on the registration-on-fuselage version of the short nose, nor is it present on any of the long-nose models.
Can anyone else replicate?
Hmm. I honestly havenât noticed that, but I donât fly (what Iâm guessing is external). I am going to switch computers from my work rig here in just a bit and Iâll check it out.
Yep, I see it - looks like thereâs a duplicate counterweight model & theyâre fighting.
