Random load from the SimCheck A300


Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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.

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.
