    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.

Cessna 172 Tundra

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope and pray you all are safe, warm, well and happy. I saw this Cessna 172 Tundra posted yesterday on Flightsim and thought I'd share the link if that's ok. I really enjoy flying the bush in Alaska and the absolute freedom to explore places I will never see for real...except through various excellent sceneries in FSX.

FSX/P3D v4/v5 Native Cessna 172 Tundra

"FSX/P3D v4/v5 Native Cessna 172 Tundra. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an all-metal, single-engine, four-seat, high-wing light utility aircraft, produced by Cessna Aircraft Company between 1958 and 1962. Some Cessnas were converted for bush and tundra flying with big wheels and a more powerful engine. Three native models for FSX/ Prepar3D v4,v5 by A.F. Scrub."

Engine Dying

I really like this and flew it from PAKN King Salmon to PAHC Holy Cross up in Alaska a few days ago after downloading and installing. When I retard the throttle all the way to taxi or idle the engine shuts down. If I leave the throttle cracked for 900-1000 RPM its ok but a little fast. Anyone else?

I made the following aircraft config changes and works great :


[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type = 0 //0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=Turboprop
Engine.0 = 2.4, 0.0, 0.0 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum
ThrustAnglesPitchHeading.0 = 0,0 //Thrust pitch and heading angles in degrees (+pitch down, +heading right)
fuel_flow_scalar= 0.88 //Fuel flow scalar
min_throttle_limit = 0.10 //Minimum percent throttle. Generally negative for turbine reverser was 0.0

[piston_engine]
power_scalar = 1.0
cylinder_displacement= 60 (360 cu in)
compression_ratio= 7.50
number_of_cylinders= 6
max_rated_rpm= 2600.00
max_rated_hp= 220.00
fuel_metering_type= 0
cooling_type= 0
normalized_starter_torque= 0.25
turbocharged= 0
max_design_mp= 0.00
min_design_mp= 0.00
critical_altitude= 0.00
emergency_boost_type= 0
emergency_boost_mp_offset= 0.00
emergency_boost_gain_offset= 0.00
fuel_air_auto_mixture= 0
auto_ignition= 0
fuel_flow_scalar=1.00
max_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.00
idle_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.00
max_rpm_friction_scalar=1.00
idle_rpm_friction_scalar=1.00
power_scalar=1.70 // was 1.50


[propeller]
propeller_type= 0
propeller_diameter= 6.950
propeller_blades= 2
propeller_moi= 5.70
beta_max= 30.00
beta_min= 12.00
min_gov_rpm=1000.00
prop_tc= 0.10
gear_reduction_ratio= 1.00
fixed_pitch_beta= 0.00
low_speed_theory_limit= 80.00
prop_sync_available= 0
prop_deice_available= 0
prop_feathering_available= 0
prop_auto_feathering_available= 0
min_rpm_for_feather= 0.00
beta_feather= 0.00
power_absorbed_cf= 0
defeathering_accumulators_available= 0
prop_reverse_available= 0
minimum_on_ground_beta= 0.00
minimum_reverse_beta= 0.00
thrust_scalar=1.40 // was 1.10

YMMV, as they say. (Also I fly with auto-mixture unchecked, as have too many A2A birds.)

Hope this helps. :encouragement:
 
You may want to check out the excellent Soloy turbine conversion (plus tundra) Cessnas that are available right here at SOH. These are essentially Cessnas on steroids. The aircraft are beautifully modelled and add the muscle needed for short, unpaved runnways. The pontoon versions are equally impressive.
 
Thank you for the update MZee.

I have the Soloy conversion tundra version for about a year now and I must say that is surely payware quality. Excellent power. Thank you downwind.

Glad to help ! .... and Yes, the Soloy conversions are worth their weight in gold !
 
Another c172 Tundra (cargo version).

It's payware from Aeroproyecto but not too expensive.

The Aeroproyecto Cessna 172N Beast with the tundra tires is for FSX and P3D up through version 4. It's not for X-Plane. It's available at JustFlight.

Yes, a very nice rendition. Can recommend without hesitation. Sold through PCAviator as well so you can save 10% on various days.

The Cessna 172 Tundra mod is compatible with most default FSX C172 repaints.

Also to remove those window reflections from all default FSX aircraft try this replacement texture file and have clean and clear views :

In P3D V4.5 some of the gauges are missing. In the taildragger all the gauges are there. I tried to copy the taildraggers panel to the tundra and it didn't change anything.
