LHC Avelina (our newest plane) is on sale

Thanks for the kind comments guys.


Well, its the end of the sale. The dust has cleared. Many more Ave pilots now. Every one be sure to paruse your manuals to see how all the instrumentation works.

Did you know you can eject the CD's (2, one on top of the panel and one under the Kiosk screen) by ingressing the Computers management screen (on the Kiosk) and clicking the CD icons? Only 2 work of course. I was going to have 2 SSD HD's eject, but didnt, (alternate drives, the other two).


When you are doing NAV VOR flights (VOR to VOR), there are mini quick link icons (3) from Radios to HSI to AP. Thus you can jump from those 3 points without returning to the main Kiosk page all the time. (Shortcuts).

Note that due to technical constraints via limitations in FS programming and interactions in FS systems, the Bio fuel APU recharges at 50% power dumps every 15 min's. I wanted a continuous fuel/voltage upload that would update every 5 min's, but we were limited to 50% or full amounts and I thought 30 min's was to long for a charge, so I made it 15 instead. I hate it when I cannot make things to work as realistically as possible, but then again, speaking of realism, this plane doesnt exist, but it would have been nice to have a properly flowing voltage charge from the APU.

Special note, the cheese sticks and apples are plastic! Do not eat them. The food and drug administration require you to have special food handling permits in cases of distributing prototype futuristic 4 seat aircraft. If it had been a single seater, it would have been ok. :mixedsmi:


Happy flying,

Bill
 
Just wanted to pop in say how much fun I've had the past few days flying this unique little beauty! It's one of those planes that just "feels" right from the first takeoff, and not to mention ALL THE COOL GADGETS you get to play with:jump:. Only thing I haven't gotten to work for me is the SPEED in cruise control. I must be doing something wrong but it's strange that all the other functions work fine. Every time I engage (Magenta) SPEED the dial just slowly backs off to minimum power. I am stabilized in altitude and heading and airspeed when I engage it. Any hints?? Anyway, still want to say Great Job Bill :salute:

Enjoying this plane as well Bill, a really unique plane, joins your Dynamic and Kodiak on my frequently flown list.
