Best to you Richard! -
Thanks for the great info! I'm bookmarking the links as well.

Back on topic, last night I checked and changed the loadout on the PAC and was able to make a climb to 13,500 in almost exactly 13 minutes at a steady 1,000'/minute climb rate. Did have to adjust the prop rpm a little and the airspeed did slow to 90 kts near the top but overall I was pretty happy with it.

Remember him well. So many high school dances with his music to set the scene. RIP Jerry! -
""Kind of guessing the limits depicted in the MSFS menu aren't the actual airplane limits."" 100% agree with this Perk! I've always wondered just how accurate the menu for CG was to the actual aircraft. My guess is that it may be close most of the time and not at all close in others. In testing I've found the default CG settings after the initial install needed to be adjusted manually . I'm going back to check mine and run the numbers you show for a climb. They say it's about 12-13 minutes from brake release to sky dive jump altitude (13,500) in the PAC and can squeeze in about 6 turnarounds without refueling in a day. Love this plane. Thanks for those links Nick. Most informative for sure. On another note is anyone having difficulty trimming for level flight without the AP? I have an old Saitek Cyborg evo joy stick that I use. I've assigned two buttons on it for up/down trim. Maybe just too old? Or maybe I'm just too old.

Remember what you were doing back then

Awesome stuff, thanks Adam! -
I was lucky enough to ride in an Electra L-188 Reeves Aleutian Airways aircraft in 1970 and 1971 while stationed at NAS Adak, AK. Met Mr Reeves at a dinner on the island. On my way home from Adak to separate from the Navy his wife was on board and served us home made lasagna! Sat near the rear door and can't forget the sound of the screws in the floor trim rattling/vibrating...lol.

Right now are 6 of the most popular airports Carlos. More to come! -
I'll check the marketplace then. Do you know the name of the company or developer?

Who are they Paul? I'm not seeing anything in Orbx Central related to Models of the World.

Interesting topic. I was in Drone mode last night doing some testing when twice the sim froze. No warning, just stopped being able to move anymore. Had to exit the sim and restart.

Indeed, a very Happy Birthday to you Aimee.

Some great news (for me).

Nice to hear some good news Don. -
Have to agree with Ross. Love this plane. Just watched as many UTube videos of this as I could find, amazing. In one there isn't a cover for the hole where the fertilizer is dumped into the plane. Just dump n pump! Awesome aircraft.
