There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The way the post above re: license checks makes it sound like it was just once when you first start the aircraft, not for every time after.
I'm pretty confident in my connection, so I bought it
Been loving it so far!
Does anyone else notice the 985 is really a beast to keep cool sometimes?
I've been reading all the latest posts about internet connections etc, and so far appear to have had no problems, but I'm keeping an eye on it. I do agree that Andrey has developed a superb product and deserves support- I'm sure that most of the questions and problems will be overcome in the near future. I know little about computers, so I'd like to make some comments about something I'm a little more familiar with.
The R985 in the Broussard does seem run a little hotter than the same engine, in say the Beaver, (ref the Milviz Beaver). I find that opening the oil cooler gills, and selecting cowl flaps fully open after engine start, allows the C.H.Ts to rise gradually, and the oil temps to stay in the green while taxying. Prior to applying full power for take-off, the CHT usually is about 205C degrees, even at high ambient temps, during take off up to about 215-220 during take-off, with the oil temps going into the red, about 80C. As soon as possible after take off, reducing power to 90(Atmospheres?), seems to keep the CHT at about 220C, oil temps still slightly in the red, I.A.S 75 to 80 k, R.O.C. about 1.8 mps, (359 fpm). at say 762 metres (2500 ft) levelling out, power back to 80, 1800 rpm, brings the temp back in the green rapidly, with CHT 210-215. At moderate weights this generally gives a T.A.S 115-120 kts. I then slowly close the cowl flaps to about 30-45 percent. I have some limited experience with the R985, (the Beaver) and have not had similar requirements. Could be Cowl design. I'm sure their are others out there who can comment, but I hope this helps in the meantime.
what I noticed - on the ground, when You do taxi I see strange stutter....
