Blitzer Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Some great shots. I've been holding off getting the Catalina, but you are making it hard with shots like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yallu Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Well it's a good plane, no need to hold back. Engines etc. are well modeled. In fact, as I was firing #1 engine it stopped the first time even though I didn't do anything wrong (I think, after reading the manual). Just a bit cold and humid morning. Another great vintage plane is the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser... Both share similar engine management, well, since both are from the same era. I cannot but recommend both planes. If you want to do something else as well than simply enjoy the great scenery PNW offers. These planes keep you busy observing and managing the engine systems. I have LDS 767, F1 ATR, ERJ-135/145 etc. etc., but the #1 is still B377, I guess that makes the Cat #2 then... I really enjoy flying without the autopilot.

Nyxx Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thanks. I will get her out the hanger tonight, what a plane and like others said perfect for PNW. Great set of SS. The cat on full real Cold and dark start up is worth buying her just for that. You really do feel you are starting up a big old gal and as you know you have to well watch/lisen to make sure she is warm before starting #2 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Monkey Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Last week end I played the mission that came with the Catalina: Comox firefighter. The great thing is that it takes place in PNW. It's really a good training to manage the catalina, because you really have to keep these engines running when you're flying low towards a fire in this mountain environment. I did sweat. I recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you have to start #1 all over again . Last week end I played the mission that came with the Catalina: Comox firefighter. The great thing is that it takes place in PNW.

I recommend it! Yeah, me too. Damn it was hard to get over those mountains with all that weight. Just barely made it and once had to turn back to gain more alt. PNW is just screaming for more missions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
