DHC-4 Caribou

Bought it, love it. Wonder why not any kind of manual, basic one will do, know its a fine cheap work of art but will it be so costly and time/money consuming to write a kind of manual? What´s the reason not to do so? Regretfull...Took me a while to find out how to read speeds...and about the cargo ramp, does it open?
hope someday someone makes a mod to simulate engine smoke. With those pipes will be a show...
Cheers
 
From the pilot's seat, if you look back over your right shoulder there is a row of switches that control the cargo door and cargo ramp (as well as the rear cabin lighting). There is a master switch which must be turned on first, followed by separate switches for the ramp and cargo door, as well as a limiting switch for the ramp.

If a manual is produced, it will be made available here: https://www.flightsimulator.com/aircraft-manuals/







 
it could do with a big upgrade to the start up - more coughing and spluttering and DEFINATELY some smoke....
 
Any chance someone more talented than I could do a 1960s Kuwait Air Force paint - had a bash years ago on the Alphasim model but not very professional ! A few coloured phots online if one searches ....

AP

Necessity is the Mother of invention.
For those hankering for an AP for the Caribou - this has popped up on .to.
Haven't tried it yet, but those who have commented on the download site appear to be happy with it.

Postscript: I installed it & can confirm Keyboard Bindings work for Hold Altitude & Hold Heading.
The Creator points out that there is no supplied panel with it.
He points to the PMS50 GTN750 as a panel that will work & that is probably what he has got showing on his .to entry.
However, I don't have the PMS550 so at the moment I can't see a panel.
But the keyboard bindings work, which is better than nothing.
Flew it with the Jankees Air America livery - some nice work in that livery.
