Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Don't expect any order or sense to them... A random batch of shots of the A300, from my flights around Tamworth, and some from a flight I did YSTW -> YSCH. I tell you, getting and A300 into Coffs Harbour ISN'T easy! Even with full braking, light load, and reverse thrust! Review will eventually arrive here on Mutley's! :biggrin: Enjoy! Thanks very much for viewing! Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Great combination of aircraft and scenery Jack. I can't help thinking she is a bit big for Coffs Harbour! and the guys at Tamworth must have been having kittens with that late rotation :smile: An excellent, entertaining post.

Cheers Thanks very much Joe, glad you enjoyed! And very well noticed with the runway lengths. It IS (just about) realistically possible to get the A300 both in and out of Tamworth and Coffs, just definitely not at MTOW. The weight used in the flight above was about 45% MTOW, so it was possible. You have to use the short takeoff technique which is great. 80% N1, full brakes... Then release and TOGA... 0-V1 in about 15 seconds! Link to post Share on other sites

rosariomanzo 545 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Wonderful shots, AA. And the A300 is so cool! I'm really interested in this aircraft, as I love the not-too-much-automated flights. Could you please tell me if it has some kind of bugs and if it is planned to address them in the near future? I have seen in your screen a TRP display, so I assume there is an A/T command? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance. Hey Rosario, The only bug I'm aware of at the moment is an issue with the brake temperatures. Sometimes, not always, the brake temperature indicator displays all brakes at a very high temperature. However, SimCheck know about this and it is being fixed, they release a patch about every 1 or 2 weeks. And yes, there is an A/T command. To get A/T command you must arm the switch, then apply a throttle mode (such as SPD SEL, or select a thrust mode using the N1 Computer). Definitely a good aircraft to buy, VERY detailed and complex and a nice challenge. Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thank you for the hints, AA! Will definitely take a ride soon. I hope it will be easy on frames. Grazie! Link to post Share on other sites
