I think I found out what that was about. If you purchased through PC Aviator, you have version 2.1. Up until yesterday, they had been selling the 2.1 version.. arrgh.. Thats why you had no prop adjustment and we did. Thats 'if' you had the 2.1 version..

my cfg file says 2.2

try this - climb to 3,000' and double check your prop rpm. then climb to 15,000 and look at the gauge again. your needle will be back in the red, and you can't move it back to the green by adjusting it, no matter how far you adjust it. at least, that what mine does. at relatively low altitude it is nicely adjustable. at higher altitudes, the adjustment disappears.

Ahhh.. yes..

The infamous 'stack of sticks' syndrome... Adjust some settings here and everything goes crazy. Thanks CF for pointing that out. I will see about getting this updated as soon as possible.

These Turboprops are a real bear to tune, I am here to tell yah. Nothing like a jet or a gasoline engine.

Just one more Kodiak paint to go... (or actually four)

I thought to make something that you can scout the upcoming Tongass Fjords with. I will do it in two different colors, orange and blue and both of them will be offered in clean and weathered versions.

Tongass Bush Services (WIP) (and it's fictional:icon_lol:)

Awesome bushpilot, another nice repaint. Thanks, I will surely enjoy flying Tongass in this.:ernae:
 
Pekka, any chance of that prior to Tongass being released? I'd love to use it with some of the product images, as I have with your excellent FedEx and Conair repaints. Also, how about a C reg?

Edit: Would also be great to get that as an amphib too ;)
 
Thanks for your kind comments!

how about some hot rod flames?

Actually I have one paint idea that has flames in it. It's sort of whiskey smuggler scheme:ernae:. Might do it sometime in the future

I've now done all the major "pentooling" with this, so paints might be up tomorrow.:running: So if Tongass is not released tomorrow, then this will be prior to it ;). And I can make few more optional versions with C-reg also. And since paints and models are interchangeable, applying these to float models should work. Floats are not part of the paintkit, so float version would use the default white floats....
 
That Tongass scheme is perfect, Pekka! Looking forward to tooling around the great white north in my little orange plane.

Now all we need is a download button to Tongass Fjords:wiggle:
 
This was a request, it came from a Cessna Caravan and didn't know if I could fit and make it look right, I'm liking it. :ernae:
