I've flown the 337. My uncle had one when i was about 12 and kept his for quite a long time. Was one of the first planes i learned to and got to fly. The flight model is actually very close to what it really feels like in the air with exception of one thing. This plane tracks like it's on rails. You point it at a point, and that's where it goes. The rudder trimming is 'off' just a little bit as the real one doesn't really trim to the right as much as the one in the simulator does. The heaviness on the yoke is just about spot on. Oh, and if/when you lose the rear engine (it happened a couple of times from overheating in Florida weather, you really can't tell that you've lost it other than a loss of forward movement. If you are paying attention to it, you'd feel a little tug forward on your upper body (shoulders and head) when it was starting to lose power/thrust) Personally, other than a few little miniscule glitches, irregularities and easily fixed, temporal issues with the mosel itself, this might possibly be one of the best and most accurate flight model and rendering of any that Carenado has put out. It 'feels' and sounds like i'm back in it again... no joke. They did a fantastic job on the modeling of it all the way through. BIG thumbs up on this one. We did a flight from Titusville to Lakeland and lost the aft about half way through the flight, no one in the plane even noticed but me and him. The girls had no clue and there was no way we were even going to tell them... because we didn't need to. That's how well it flies.

I was in only 18 years old when I joined the U.S. Army in 1967 and was asked if I wanted to fly helicopters, and I said no, they had a high rate of getting shot down at the time. Unfortunately I wound up in a much worse position on the ground. I didn't think about becoming an officer however my entrance exam scores put me higher than needed to become a lieutenant via OCS. If I had it to do over I would have joined the air force, go to OCS and fly the airplane this video is about. Thank you this video.

OOP's; SOP for starting a 337 is Rear Engine first. Since you can't see the engine, you use sound to monitor the startup; rough running, missing, whatever.

I have less than 30 mins real control time, and I'm not even a particularily experienced sim pilot ( maybe a couple of thousand hours in DCS, but that is mostly not really relevant here aside from abstract ideas about simulation ) - but I have worked on sim feel ( amongst other things ) on a pro level in the past so I'm a bit picky. So far all I've done is two flights where I started it by guesswork ( if you've ever started a light aircraft there's nothing that'll surprise you ) and flown it around at low level like a hooligan. This thing is up around the top of current MSFS aircraft I've got access to when it comes to feeling like you're guiding an object with mass in a fluid. All MSFS A/C can feel a bit wooden to me but this is probably one of the least immersion breaking so far, and that's flying it with a Virpil stick with an A-10 grip completely unlike pretty much any light aircraft... It's fun, feels like a fairly heavy aircraft ( as far as light aircraft go! ), the view out is great, it mostly sounds good ( a few wierd repetitive groaning noises ), if you deliberately spin it it doesn't half kick off but you can get it back out again easily. It's also quite fast & has a satisfying number of engines :D I haven't regretted picking it up - I've also got the Seneca but with this around I can't see me choosing that one over this. I think it was a good buy. Edit: SU8 is the current release & I'm a little less happy - I believe it's a MSFS core problem though & with a new flight model due in SU9 I'll hold off any condemnation. Edit 2: SU9 put the aircraft back in it's good state, even without any new cfd work.

In my youth i did about 300hrs in this beauty. 1- Carenado sound is too much like a twin 172. 2- nose up trim is accurate. 3- Found that 16" manifold from descent to downwind, 1st notch of flaps, gear down, 2nd notch flaps on base, full flaps on final all on 16" manifold to power off for landing. A beauty to fly. More like a twin 182 to fly than a 210. A 210 is more slippery and feels very quick compared to the 337, even though performance is similar.

In real life.. Most are trained to taxi the aircraft on the front engine. But of course, you start both engines and bring them up to temp. Before taxi. As far as losing a rear engine, you know. Sound changes and performance changes. Also, your gauges confirm that engine loss. You still have to confirm and feather like any other twine. Plane performance will be slow on all aspects of flight. But the plane will take off on one engine but changes to flap settings need to be made and power setting to prop, and manifold psi. need to remain full until you land. You land as soon as possible, like any twine. The rear engine exhaust is always louder in real life. This video is nice. I will subscribe. Thanks, old washed-up pilot here. 🤣

2 Things Whenever I hear people complain about Constant Speed Propellers on these Units: 1. You don't control the Propeller Pitch, the Prop Governor does. If the Prop Governor has its Stop set to a Minimum RPM of 1850, it's gonna remain fully fine until you reach that RPM no matter where the Lever is. Only if you are within the Limits of the Governer, in this Example somewhere between 1850 and 2800, will it maintain the RPM Set with the Lever. 2. The Propeller Pitch Angle Range on older Designs is pretty small. The max. Fine Pitch is coarse enough (normally about 17° to 19°) so that even Propeller Failure on Take-Off will not cause the Engine to Overrev. The max. Coarse Pitch is normally fine enough to still allow for enough forward Propulsion even with a Governor Failure. Normally that Angle is in the Mid 30°s. The Feather Pitch Angle needs to be activated manually in an Emergency, but the Propeller on its own cannot go there automatically. So on the Run-up you have to Rev the Engine into the Governor Range modelled for this particular Plane, and the higher you Rev it, the more you will be able to drive it through it's Pitch Angle.
@FlyFromHome2 жыл бұрын
2000RPM should be more than sufficient to exercise the propeller governor on the ground. The aircraft’s real world checklist states this figure to perform the test and I’ve flown plenty of aircraft with similar props and engines in the real world and have never had to raise RPM beyond 2000 to get it to respond on the ground. It’s an MSFS bug at the moment.

One of the most beautyful and uniqué aircrafts currently available for the Flight Sim 20. The cockpit is beyond beautyful and detailed. I have fixed most of the visual flaws of the cockpit - but Carenado must patch some of the programming of the instruments (like having fuel flow when switching on the pumps) to bring this beauty to perfection :) Ah did you notice that bug when doing the run-up check? The rear engine was not changing sound when the rpm were reduced after changing the prop speed while the front engine had a clear change of sound. I will contact Carenado about these three little bugs this airplane has with no fuel flow when the pumps are on, no change in manifold pressure when changing rpm and no change in rear engine sound when changing rpm. Otherwise the aircraft seems to be perfect.
@FlyFromHome2 жыл бұрын
Didn’t actually notice those other things you mention, but the manifold pressure bug I’ve been saying for ages. That’s not Carenado’s fault, every MSFS complex piston doesn’t show the correct rise in manifold pressure when you check the props on the ground. Think it’s something for the Asobo devs to look into! Totally agree with it being unique though, it’s a really interesting little plane.
@juliashenandoah39652 жыл бұрын
@@FlyFromHome I don´t know how much the manifold pressure rises and falls on a real airplane, but there are a few airplanes having a rise of 0,7 - 1,8 lines on the manifold pressure gauge. The first one is the PMDG Cloudmaster, the Carenado Mooney M20 Ovation, and the Carenado Seneca V. Give it a try :) you will see that on the Seneca V the manifold pressure will rise ca. one line on the gauge when slowly pulling the props rpm lever fully back. I am really happy seeing all the little details functional like having fuel flow on the fuel flow gauge when the pumps are on and a change in manifold pressure when the prop rpm lever is changed.

man, what a cool aircraft. I'm always just skeptical of Carenado. in the M20R right now for example, lowering the prop speed actually increases fuel flow. I can't tell whether it has an effect on power, if anything it seems like the plane even makes more power at lower prop speeds! I remember that stuff was working perfectly when I first bought the M20. The Seneca has also had some pretty weird issues, though most have been fixed. Last I checked I noticed the weather radar wasn't updating properly (not that I'm too annoyed by that). I can't decide whether I want to wait and see if they fix the M20 before picking this one up. Or maybe I should buy it now and enjoy it until a sim update breaks it and it never works properly again? haha oh well.

I noticed the alternator behavior, overvoltage test and alternator restart buttons don't work in a realistic way. I own and fly a (real life) 1975 T337G, for comparison. In the Carenado version, it'll power the DC bus if the rear alternator (but not the front) is switched on even if the battery master is off. This is incorrect behavior, with no power from the batteries, the alternators shouldn't come back online until hitting the alternator restart button (which connects some D cell batteries to the alternator field coils). Also the overvoltage test button should drop both alternators offline and light both alternator warning lights, and stay that way until the master switch is turned off for several seconds. Since the Carenado model has the 2-piece clamshell doors that were introduced in 1973, both alternators have their own separate regulators by that point in the production years. So that couldn't be a reason for the discrepancy between switching the front alternator on vs switching the rear alternator on while the battery master is off. Of course, either alternator starting up with no battery power and without using the alternator restart button is already a bug anyway.

Never flown one but I can't imagine a high-wing aircraft with no anhedral holding the *exact* bank angle & altitude in a turn like it does if you let go of the stick. Aircraft want to spiral if they're otherwise neutral, so there should be a lot of efffects going on. To be far, this is a complaint I have about most MFS aircraft.

@ryan_niemi2 жыл бұрын
The cowl flaps do work, though they're not realistic to the real-world aircraft. The Carenado model has them as just a fully open/close switch with a light that lights up when they're open. While the real-life aircraft has an open/neutral/close switch, and the open and close positions run the cowl flap motors in that direction so you can position the cowl flaps at any point between open and closed. Also the lights in the real-world aircraft next to the switches just light up when the cowl flap motor reaches fully open or fully closed while you're holding the switch in the open or close position. Someone more familiar with the real-world Cessna Nav-O-Matic 400A autopilot will have to confirm whether the autopilot is fully functional though.
