Alphasim T-34C Mentor is OUT!

I had to fiddle with the start up cold turkey and throw switches for 10minutes and wam it started. Now how idid this i dont know. I guess im going to have to write cliff notes. Would someone please post a link to this Ac's History please.

With the bashing a couple of developers have been taking the last few days, I'm surprised more of them haven't said "screw it" and hung up their hats :isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy:

gee, maybe it's the money? :stop:I realize that not all MSFS devs are getting rich, but a few are.:kilroy:

Just one question for the folks who have it - How are the FPS?

Its strange - first flight i get great FPS - better than many addons but if I try a second flight I get a slide show and have to jump back to a carenado aircraft to get the FPS back - but if I go back to the Mentor the FPS is crap. The only solution has been to re start FSX.

Gotta say that i love the way the air con clears the windows and that oxigen masks appear on the pilots once you switch the system on - and if you dont over 10000ft you start to lose it :jump:

Really like this one so far. :applause: Flight model is really nice, Shane. :ernae:


Couple of questions.
Why is the fuel flow so high? When I've got normal cruise type torque readings, fuel flow is pegged at 500 pph. Ought to be more like 250 to 300, shouldn't it?

What am I missing on the start sequence? If I follow the checklist, I'd pull the prop/condition lever all the way aft, turn on ignition and start, stabilize at 12% N1, and then move the prop to feather to introduce fuel. I can't seem to figure out how to get the prop/condition lever pulled into either the feather or cutoff position. It won't pull with the mouse and I haven't found any key stroke that does it. What am I doing wrong?

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
Hi Steve

Your right - I can move the prop lever but it returns to full forward position until start up has been accomplished.

Are you making sure that the red lever (tagged fuel condition control) behind/below the trottle etc is in the lower position for start?

Then select all the ingition switches and she should start up.

Yeah, that's how I'm getting it started now, too. It just isn't correct. :banghead: That one, the red lever, should be on and we should be able to use the prop/condition lever to introduce the fuel. The other advantage with that is that it would start with the prop feathered, so it wouldn't have that FSX turboprop surge on start. Hope there's a way to do it correctly. :redf:

Sorry Steve - i miss understood. I have started without the surge in the past but I have no Idea how I did it :isadizzy:
 
Fuel flow for 1015 of torque is about 335 PPH.

You can modify the fuel scalar line to the following in the aircraft.cfg.
It will register on the gauge at the approximately correct value.

As always backup you original before making changes.

fuel_flow_scalar = 0.88

Hi

I think that before you switch anything else on in a cold cockpit you can free the prop control by using the red fuel control first, then move the prop control to the desired position, then swtich on master, electrics and then ignition and starts - it worked for me!! :jump:
