TukanFlightsim Ford Trimotor AT5 Released!

[Twice43]

As Spook48 shows in his post, I use a Loupedeck in flight simming, and control the Trimotor from its autopilot page. The model must have autopilot functionality for it to work, of course. I wouldn't mind betting someone will have a mod out soon, as they did with the Caribou.

Probably takes the basic keyboard AP: Press 'Z' for AP On & Off, Ctrl H for Heading Hold & Ctrl A for Altitude Hold

It used to be so easy to add a basic autopilot panel to any panel cfg back in fsx.

You can still add it in a .cfg in MSFS, but the problem is that Marketplace aircraft often encrypt that file.

This is the link, so no Marketplace I suppose? https://secure.simmarket.com/tukanflightsim-ford-tri-motor-5at-msfs.phtml

It's not Marketplace - I got mine at the Orbx shop.

Experimenting with the fuel system I find that the normal setting is like cross feed in that both wing tanks feed one another but the center tank is not used. Cross feed pipes off position sets all tanks feeding including the center tank. I assume each engine is drawing fuel from it's own wing tank. I have not experimented with the center tank boost position yet.

My understanding of the fuel system.
L and R normal = cross feeds from wing tanks to all engines.
Center reserve on L and R to cross feed pipe off = each tank feeds one engine
Center tank to boost L and R tanks off Center tank feeds all engines.

Funny to read this, Hans/George was part of my newspaper route when I was a kid.
