    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.

    1. 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.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. 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.

Carenado PC-12 is out!

It is an excellent model, flies well, nothing serious jumped out at me other than the Approach Hold is a little buggy, it tracks in on the localizer in a wide arc (shallow bank) to the outer marker resulting in a bit of an abrupt glideslope capture. When I tried to arm the approach hold a little closer the the beam, it overshot. It's a minor gripe on an otherwise nice model.
 
Hmm... How different does it feel from the TBM 930? Not a class of plane I fly a lot, but I haven't gone wrong with a Carenado purchase so far. (Plus I just need them to get to the darn T-34, so gotta keep them in business.)

I think this model is a lot more refined than the TBM 930. The manual control feel is very good and predictable.
 
For the life of me, I can't get the Engine Condition assigned to an axis. i have tried, Mixture, Condition set, etc. nothing works.

On another note, I was able to sit in the right seat for a PC-12 flight from Anchorage to Lake [FONT=&quot]Iliamna. What a blast that was. [/FONT]
 
jmig, the condition lever for this model is coded to the Mixture control setting and is preset to move back and forth via mouse click or button/switch assignment. Any 3 position spring loaded momentary switch on a controller will work; hat switch or standard toggle switch that sits neutral in the middle but you can rock it back and forth for the 3 positions of the condition lever. The way it is coded, it won't work with a slider lever as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the info. After reading your post I went rooting with A&O's LVAR viewer. I found two LVARS that showed variable changes when moving the control in-game. However, neither worked when assigned to a switch. I got frustrated and quit for the day. I will ruminate and later try again.

I love this airplane. It was my go to in PD3 and seems better in MSFS. But, I am having great dificulty moving the dang lever with the mouse in VR.
