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.

Dreamfleet 727

My five year old Dell has a P4 3.4G with 1GB ram and a Radeon X600 with 256Mb. Not exactly a top-line machine, yet I get on average 15-25fps in the VC with the Dreamfleet 727 with all my display sliders slightly above mid-range. Not bad as far as I'm concerned.
Be forewarned that there are a lot of switches to flip and dials to turn. It's definitely an **** aircraft, which isn't a problem since it has excellent and very intuitive manuals...many of which can be accessed from the FS Kneeboard while 'in sim'. The first few flights might seem a little overwhelming, but it becomes much easier to manage with each successive hop.
You won't regret buying it. Good luck.

Curious from a FD perspective.

Yep, the Dreamfleet model comes with rather extensive charts referencing EPR settings for all phases of flight, broken down by pressure altitudes & OATs...even noting different settings when anti-ice is on and differential power settings with the Super27. They've included individual charts for the different models in the package (100, 200, Super27s). I haven't the slightest idea if Dreamfleet's EPR settings are accurate to reality...but they've certainly done a good job 'faking it' for gullible types like myself if they aren't!
I tried copying a few smaple lines from the EPR charts but the formatting got all screwy when pasting here.
tags, the formatting shouldn't get messed up. The only downside is that word wrap doesn't work.

C'monnnnnnnn......
Sure you can't hand prop to start, but Ctrl-E always worked fine for me.....(Save the twenty minute checklist and startup for DC2's....C-47's....)
Look....
