jaydor Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Flying is not all about those daytime adventures. We forget about the pilots who makes flying their workplace and the office window at time's shows it as black as the Ace of Spades. But to get into the black, pilots witness some of Mother Earths most spectacular sunsets. Here is one such journey from Coffs Harbour YSCH to Woolongon YWOL New South Wales Australia.. Slow roll to take off postions: Busy evening for take off's: Going into our southerly turn, bust time below: At our flight level: The setting sun catches us: It's good night from us, but good morning to someone else: On into the night: Those magnificent men in their flying machines; "Take care"..

Capnsully Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm a sucker for good night shots, nice! You might be able to help me- I've just reinstalled the same pc12, Iove it's cockpit. But it keeps chiming even before loading up, then I just can't get the engine to stay on. I've read heaps, know to keep the condition lever to idle. About to log a help desk call. But is there something else? Tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydor Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Capnsully After the reinstall, did you open up first with the Cessna 172, then change aircraft to the PC12 from the drop down menu? Then save the flight. If you do not do that you will get corruptions. If you did above, what controls are you using. The PC12 only uses 2 levers one for throttle and one for condition/mixture. Try a mouse controlled movement. before hitting the start button, move the throttle forward with the mouse to expose the condition lever. Push the con/lever full on with the mouse. Hit F1 on the keyboard to zero the throttle. Make sure the brakes are on and press start. The chime alarms are correct until you have engine running..
