Patrick Scharnowski Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 As usual I couldn't just settle for one or two shots. I made over 30 screenshots on that trip, so condensing it to just 18 shots was already hard enough. This was a one hour trip, including bringing the somewhat delicate engines of the Cat to life and getting them to operating temperatures, and every second of it was fantastic.

Aidan Sandri Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Fantastic set of shots Patrick! I just did your flight from Tsuniah Lake to Scar Creek - great leg, but I used the Carenado Baron which has bad fps and a poor FDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Scharnowski Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thank you. ...and congrat for your take off !!! It wasn't a problem. The Catalina lifts off easily at 50-60 knots with those huge wings (a Cub could use them as a runway!) and there was plenty of room to spare between the runway and the mountain. *sigh* my favourite plane Yeah, it's excellent! Beautiful, at least in my eyes, perfectly modelled, and the semi Accu-sim engine-modelling is always a challenge, especially with that variable carb heat that you need to keep within a narrow margin to keep the engines from stalling (too cold) or from providing too little power (too hot). I sorely neglected the Cat recently, that's why I simply had to roll her out of the hangar again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
