Cheers, will look out for it. Though what do you mean by aux pumps run dry? Do you mean if the aux tank empties?
Thanks mate. Found it just after posting - hehe.
What (and where) is that sync fix though?
Once you’ve navigated to the page “View Compatible Aircraft” you’ll see the screen below. The link to the sync fix is in the lower righthand corner. It is also available on the PMS50 Discord page.
Cheers!

It would be cool to see the reduction in fuel range, if one feeds from the outer wing tanks, before 1st using some of the fuel up from full center tanks.
That is exactly what you should be doing - Use fuel from the main tanks (i.e. the outer wing tanks) first in order to leave room for the engine return fuel when you switch to the auxiliary tanks.
Maybe I got Main & Outer mixed up ? Oh well … MSFS gas is FREE !!
Time to read the POH in a little more detail !!
Main IS outer.

I meant when the aux tanks run dry, the engines will quit if you have aux selected when they are empty.

I just had my first proper session with this delight today. I can see why all the praise now. It’s really excellent.
I got “persuaded” to get the MV Porter and Corsair recently and got to say after this purchase I’ll be getting anything MV put out, no questions asked. So full of character and feeling.
That engine sound when you first give it full power for take off. It’s like you’re really there!!
These guys know what they are doing!! Very reasonable price as well for the attention to detail in every area of this product.
Very much looking forward to setting a skin to “owned” and learning it in-depth. What a great plane man!

Anyone got any tips on landing this bird? e.g.
- Power settings at various phases of the approach?
- How close to the runway do you keep your speed above blue line?
- What speed do you look to touch down at?
- How much power to hold during the flare?
- How much to flare (do you pull back above the neutral position which is a couple of degrees above horizon?)
My attempts are very mixed at the moment, the usual is an approach at blue line speed (23 inches, max rpm). I pull the power back at very short final to 20 inches and the speed drops off very slowly to around 90ish. Then as I come into the flare I reduce to 16-17 inches while pulling back to around 5 deg nose up to arrest the sudden rapid decent and I’m usually treated to another jarring bump onto the runway.
I’ve also found occasionally the plane starts skidding around on rollout and appears to do a wheelie on the nose wheel while dropping a wing which is quite disconcerting.
If there is any consolation all the videos I’ve watched of people flying the thing in sim seem to be getting similar landings.

Sorry if that was asked before (and I have read mostly all the post here!).
Is there any VR friendly Propeller mod for this airplane yet?
Yes. Check out @BufordTX 's “multipass” prop mod package on flightsim.to. He just added the 310 last week.

No…, seriously! That’s amazing. I completly forgot to look if there was an update. Thank you so much OneMoreBulleit.

Squibby6134, what you’re doing is exactly what I do with this plane, and I get the same results, that being that this is the hardest GA aircraft for me to land, and I have a lot of hours in good-quality third-party aircraft. I’m wondering if maybe this is how the real plane flies, and they’ve just simulated it well?
Would love to see how other people land this one.

So far I’ve had good landings if I keep the speed around 110 on final, RPMs at 2200, and then 93 on short final with the flaps fully down, props full forward, MAP varying to keep the speed right. If I drop below 90 it gets… squishy on landing, but at 90 or above seems pretty smooth. Just don’t chop power, ease it back as you land. At least this has worked for me on the last 4 flights or so.

That sounds really good - I’ll try it like this next time, and keep it a little slower.
Thank you!
Checklist
Before Landing:
…
Mixtures: full rich or lean as required
Propellers: full forward (2700 rpm)
Min. speed: 93 KIAS at 5400 pounds (full weight).
…
I think 100/105 Knots are enough.
