Gents, Last night I was able to purchase the Carenado 206G and Kasper is 100% correct . . . the usable cargo is 1059. I ended up buying the one with the cargo pod and no wheel covers (due to my bush landings). I'll post some screen shots from its maiden voyage over the weekend, however i'm not so sure about this plane. . . . it keeps stalling out on the ground and the flaps failed on the 2nd leg of my first trip. It wasn't due to overspeed, they just failed . . . . I guess this is to be expected from a 35 year old plane. The failure gave me a chance to fly into Spokane Internationa

Awesome replies guys, much appreciated. I guess I didn't do a very good job of shopping, the 206G is probably a more "realistic" plane for what Mountain Air would consider purchasing. The good news is that I haven't purchased the plane in AH yet, so I can make some of the aircraft.cfg edits before purchasing. I may consider grabbing the 206G in addition, it looks a bit more appropriate. Perhaps we'll buy then 206H if we start doing passenger hauling around Idaho/Oregon/Montana. Thanks again! The newbie support / acceptance here is appreciated.

Hey folks, Things have been going well at Mountain Air. I was finally able to save up enough cash to score that Cessna 185. I'm still getting the hang of landing and taxi'ing with a taildragger, but all-in-all things are going quite well. I've encountered some pretty interesting places in my travels, I wanted to share a few screengrabs with you here. Apoliges for the lack of detial. . . i'm playing on a 2007 imac running bootcamp. . . . not enough power. I'm around 52% reputation, so i'm getting geared up to hire an additional pilot. I'm thinking about g

Sweet looking plane! Where did you set up base?

After turning up the difficulty sliders I've observed the following: 1) The 172 pulls HEAVILY to the left when i take off. . . . taking off (espically when loaded-down) is kind of like driving in snow. Just keep it pointed in the right direction and watch the speed. 2) Landings have been good still with 1 exception . . . about 50/50 greaser - to - okay ratio The Exception: I crashed . . . . I was coming in low on final into 8S4 Runway 30, so i removed a notch of flaps, gave it full throttle to abort (i was probably 150 feet off the ground, maybe less) and the plane started to tilt (y

Uh oh. I only get greasers. I have honestly never looked at the reality sliders. Newbie mistake I presume. I will look into adjusting those (and add insurance to my plane). Will this also give me winds other than calm, potentially some crosswinds at landing?

Hey folks. So another week of hauling random stuff around the Idaho/Oregon/Washington area and I'm getting closer to scraping the cash together for the 185. I have learned a few lessons along the way. 1: check to make sure your destination doesn't have water runways (unless you have floats) 2: I learned what VFe is. Thankfully the flaps were stuck in the first position and I was able to land without too much drama. That little error wiped out my profit on the job. I have found a few interesting places along the way. The eastern approach into Chenoweth Airpark is pretty cool. The approa

Hello, I am contacting e forum to introduce myself to the community and share my experience thus far running my company "Mountain Air". A few years back I had an opportunity to spend some time in the Payette national forest. I had a friend who was a lookout at Hershey Point, a very remote mountaintop lookout. I had an opportunity to see the smoke jumper base in McCall Idaho and loved everything about that town. I have been flying the Carenado 185F Bush and figured that plane in McCall would be the perfect setup for a bush airline. As I started my career I quickly learned that both the 1
