• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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.

French VFR Canso

Not open for further replies.
For each aircraft that i want modeled, I collect always the most of documentation I find.
For the Canso, I have find and also buy (AviaLogs)1.56 Go of documentations (Handbook, Manual, Specifications, Walk-around, Flight Operation Instructions).

By taking for example the document : PFB-June-2020-Handbook2.pdf (PACIFIC FLYING BOATS LTD.CANSO FLIGHT OPERATIONS HANDBOOK), I can read this. The hydraulic pump is well on the right engine and the procedure is clearly explicit: the right engine is started first (pump).

The conventions of Microsoft or US Conventions mean that when using the CTRL+E commands, the start is always done by engine 1 first which does not correspond to reality.
That’s why I took this approach to this plane, not wanting to recode the CTRL+E controls (and not knowing it when I started).
As this numbering goes beyond the engines and also touches all the controls propellers, primer, cowl flapts etc ... everything has been numbered in this direction.

Going back is a very big job (quite risky in case of error) that I would not do.

For the further development of Canso, I would write my posts following the official post I had created:
