Any fans of the Cessna big twins here ?

Yes, the exact same aircraft from Flight1, Falcon. It's not a true FsX model but a ported Fs9 aircraft.
 
Now I'm hoping for an early model 414. My previous job had me working at an FBO that did alot of major maintence on these Cessna Twins. Can't tell how many hours I spent removing the interior out of these things. Got to the point of being able to do it in about 15 minutes, all seats, trays, dividers, carpet, inspection panels.


414, 414A, 421C, 421A, 340, 320, 310 all sub models. Even a watercooled 414AW. And lets not forget about all the RAM conversions for this type.
 
Looks super and can hardly wait to fly the props off this bird. Top notch PAD. You guys have given us so much over the years :icon29: All ready to bring her home from the factory in Wichita, Just let me know when i can pick her up
 
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank PAD for their continued support in allowing me to work alongside them for the past 9 months. We have been very supportive of each other in the development of both the MU-2 and C414A.

Thank You Bob, JP, Barry, and the rest of the PAD team.


As I own a 1982 RAM IV Cessna 414AW in real life, I was able to provide PAD with quite a bit of documentation from the charts and POH. I can assure you that you will have a great time flying the 414!

If all goes well, you will see a RAM 414AW in my aircraft's scheme sometime in the future.

Ahh, me thinks a journey over to PAD is in order. ;) Thanks for the tip, Wim.

I absolutely love the 414/421 Types from Cessna, so if you guys are bringing one to me, I'll love the heck out of it.

I used to religiously fly the 421C from Flight1, but it's just too outdated now. A newer version with the modern stuff will be very nice, even if not an actual 421C.

The 414 will be an excellent addition to any hangar. Thanks for bringin' it to us. :ernae:
 
Can't wait to fly this one, looks like a beaut. Bismark Air Med flies them as they are pressurized and can move bari trauma patients. The one I know has winglets. Does this one come with that model?

Ken,

Fear not...I have no bigotry toward beautiful planes. I crash all planes equally. Pretty ones, ugly ones, radial engined one, turbo-prop ones, jets ones. Single engine, twin, triple, quad. I crash them all.

I have the delightful combination of poor piloting skills and the unquenchable hunger for the perfect Hammer Head Stall. This unique combo has lead to many a Piper, Cessna, Lear, Boeing, Lockheed, Douglas and de Havilland plane falling out of the sky and slamming into the ground. But I must admit, I crash with an aplomb that many would admire.

Here Here...Well said............:ernae:
 
Did a ferry flight from Wichita to my home airport today with the C414.Noticed while landing she gets alittle bouncy if you apply any brakes during the roll out. Went back up and did a few touch and goes and as long as i stayed off the brakes she rolls out smoothly. Seems a contact point for the front gear may be alittle off. Anyone else run into this?.
Another great aircraft PAD. Thanks
 
Very nice good looking twin there PAD.

I get the bounce too westjet.

Note: for who may want to try, and not putting off on the sound that comes with the plane, but an alias to the FS9 DeHavilland_Comet makes a great sound that fits this twin pretty nicely. Just wish there was a spot just a tad under full power that would produce a fully syncronizing of the engines. Sounds really nice on approach and as you come over the fence as you slowly reduce power for touchdown. Worth a try. I just rename the original sound folder soundx , and then make a new sound folder and stick an alias to the DeHavilland_Comet in the new sound folder.

One important additional step: After putting the alias in the new sound folder you *Must* go into the Aircraft cfg note file and backspace out of the word, bigtwin , out of the Sound=bigtwin. Should only show Sound= , or it will try to link to the original aircraft bigtwin sound folder.

Very nice twin! Thanks PAD! :applause::applause:
 
Thanks luckydog.

On my machine it bounces like riding over rough terrain on both take off and landing. Anything below about 10-15 kts is smooth. Above that it's like taking off or landing across the rows of a corn field even though I'm on the paved runway.

Really fun smooth twin in the air. And good looking too.

I've dl fs9 and fsx versions - the fsx version is much tougher to turn
than the fs9 version.
I've only been behind a c172 yoke so I was mondering which is closer to
reality in your experience?
ps thanks PAD for your efforts
