Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.
Another New Turboprop (an Embraer)
- Thread starter StormILM
- Start date
Tempting, but I'll hold off until I can find a review or two.
Two big selling points for me are a dynamic external registration (not baked into the textures like the Twotter and most of the C310R variants) and a copilot that's visible from inside the cockpit. Are there any indications of either?

No co-pilot visible nor captain. Can't say for sure on the dynamic registration.
yes dynamic aircraft registry default in the config is PT-OZS but it can be overwritten with by entering other one that show up in cockpit and fuse 
like we have with the default msfs aircraft
it Starts up cold & dark even when placed on rwy which make it not the ideal aircraft for short evenining flights wish that there are states to choose from EFB (like ready for takeoff)
like we have with the default msfs aircraftit Starts up cold & dark even when placed on rwy which make it not the ideal aircraft for short evenining flights wish that there are states to choose from EFB (like ready for takeoff)
so here my final review of it
Positive Aspects:
+ Model
+ Aircraft Type is bit of unique (at least I have not seen a Xingu for Flightsim before)
+ Visual Registry can be changed from Menu
+ Price seems fair
Negative Aspects:
- MSFS Checklist (Auto Complete Task do not work)
- EFB let not select you other loading state than "Cold & Dark" there is no "Ready to Taxi" Option
hope that this will be addressed in Update

A lot of turboprops will actually start to roll when the condition levers and props are full forward even with the power levers at idle. The normal procedure to control the taxi speed is the move the levers between idle and beta range without using the brakes. This aircraft is fairly small with those PT6 engines which at high idle or even ground idle will easily make it roll. The condition levers on this model will help tame the ground roll when moved to the ground/low detent.
