  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

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.
