I’m near Belfairs Leigh so EGMC is my local. Had to keep around 2500ft due to the cloud
Hello all the world
Does the plane have an “easy” mode ( no cold and dark / no fire motor ) ?
Thanks for answer
After few flight now I don’t have engine sound inside the cockpit, only outside
You can start it up, go to EFB, and turn off realism settings, and then use CTRL-E to start it and fly her around.
Seeing it’s a clipboard EFB might not be the right term for it. PFB? Paper Flight Bag
How ‘bout just “Clipboard,” since that’s what’s used in the manual?
Yeah, grab the Clipboard, page through and turn off Realistic Engine Starts and Engine Malfunctions and you’re good.
So now it happened to me too. I was taxiing to the apron at Grand Canyon West when my right engine died on me. I then decided to taxi with only my left engine but I guess I was overstressing it. Maybe I forgot to open the oil coolers too, hehe.
Has anyone figured out how to make a livery for this thing? The file structure seems…unique
That folder doesn’t exist for me??
I have the same issue using Axis and Ohs - can’t get any throttle etc axes to work. Has anyone managed to do so at all?
There is an AAO profile on flightsim.to for that. Haven’t tested it, but that might work for you
Ok, so this is my experience so far. Help is very much appreciated.
1st flight: engine catches on the first half of the takeoff roll. I probably screwed up with fuel mixture.
2nd flight: Low level 1h 20 min flight with no problems, oil temperature seems low.
3rd flight: Trying to cruise at 10 000 feet, oil temps very low (around 60 or less) even though oil shutters are closed. Oil pressure dangerously low and right engine catches fire and left engine shuts down at the same time. I listen to 30s music while I crash land into some California suburb. My theory: I should be using carb heat to keep the engines warmer at “high” altitudes.
4th flight: Landing gear motor breaks during takeoff. I raise the gear manually. Low level flying again as I don’t want to repeat my last experience. Oil temperatures, however, hover at 60 even with oil shutters closed. Only if I keep manifold pressure at the edge of red can I raise the oil temperature to 80-90. I use some carb heat to keep carb temp around 50 degrees but this seems to lower my engine power significantly.
How do you manage your engines? I assume my default oil (30) should not go past 90 degrees while flying or is this range only while on land because the manual mentions not to go past 165 F? I cannot even achieve a temperature this high…
Great, thanks, I’ll give it a go!
I feel the state saving is causing issues. Apart from the flight controls, I don’t have any switches assigned to any on my yoke or throttle quadrant. I use the mouse for all switches and levers at the moment. Once I have the time, I will tinker with assigning buttons etc
Unfortunately that’s a streamdeck profile that uses AAO, rather than an AAO profile itself. So that doesn’t solve the issue.
I can get aileron, elevators and rudders to work, but not throttle, prop or mixture
But you could probably take the LVars from it? Or no experience with that?
Had a little bit of experience - but not my forte. Looking at the xml now. I can see the LVARs, but I’ve never coded a script to set one from an axis. Will play around with it now.
Did you get it working with FSUIPC/SPAD?
Part of the profile is a set of AAO scripts you have to import. You can trigger these scripts from your hardware. Doesn’t need to come from the stream deck.
Thanks - so just import the xml file?
EDIT - I can see the scripts to import from the import process - that makes sense, so think I should be able to get this to work
You go into AAO “import scripts” and then select whatever was in the downloaded folder. You can ignore the stream deck profile. It takes a little bit and the window may become unresponsive but just wait it out. Once done, you can see the scripts in the script editor.
When you assign a button you can select a script that’s being executed.
