UPDATE - I WAS RIGHT FOR ONCE!!! There has been an update to the aircraft: Fixes: - High engine thrust at idle - Reverse power too strong - Transponder in ALT freezes altimeter - Weather Radar low brightness - Strobe lights not volumetric - Pressurization System Logic (Slow depressurization with automatic mode) - EFB Autoload not working Note: The autoload will not load the GPS option, It will always start with the WT GTN530 Changes: - Density on torque table and density on FF table - Flap induced and parasite drag - Empty weight moments of inertia (pitch, roll and yaw) - Parking Brake and Chocks logic (PB lever is now linked with the SimVar) - Condition Levers (Condition Levers lever is now linked with the SimVar) - Warning sound and timer - Momentary ignition and start switches timer - Windshield scratches reduced - Windshield shade size reduced - Increase normal map for exterior/interior textures - Documentation (Added AC/Pressurization page)

Good video! Congratulations!!! But I have only one comment for help: Embraer 120 Bandeirante, Embraer 121 Xingu, Pilatus Porter PC-6 and some others turboprops like theeses, you need to taxi with condition levers in LOW IDDLE, power levers all way back, and control taxi speed only with propeller levers, beetwen feathered and full rpm, to maintain the proper taxi speed. With the aircraft linnedup to takeoff, you place condition levers to HIGH IDDLE, propeller levers to full RPM and, only then, you’ll touch in power levers to full power. After touchdown, power levers to reverse, and after, immediatelly, condition levers to LOW IDDLE and propeller feathered, until achieve, the proper taxi speed.

As far as taxiing in turbo props, 99.9% of them it’s standard to leave the condition lever in low idle, this is exactly what it sounds like, an idle position. Has no effect on top end thrust. Also taxiing in Beta is also normal at low idle, to keep the airplane from accelerating. BETA is intended for ground ops. If your in low idle on approach it should also come down easier. Leave them in low idle unless cross generating an engine start

Sometimes YT gets the algorithm right. Been enjoying your content, subbed! Thanks for the video on this little bird. I’ll be picking it up.

Seems to be different for each plane, but all the turboprops I’ve used have had taxi in LO idle, then HI idle only on takeoff.

That thing looks absolute lovely, has a FLAWLESS ultrahigh-polygon high quality cockpit and cabin modeling with zero visual glitches, and the most beautyful golden illumination at night I have ever seen. That thing is pure gold for GA just like the Flysimware Cessna 414 Chancellor, and has the potential to be made study-level easily. But what defines "study-level"...... there is no clear definition for that. All this tons of gorgeous golden illuminated analogue gauges seem to be functional flawless, so maybe the next step to study-level might be adding system failures, freezing fuel, electrical failures, turbine overheating, a few functional circuit breakers - such details.

Looks amazing this. I always though full propeller pitch slows you down, increasing propellor drag per revolution

Brilliant demonstration Love your work ❤

Looks like quite a fun little aircraft, i quite like the look of it!

Check the video from BRSim Designs EMB-121 Landing. It looks like - to manage the speed they are playing with the prop rpm (lowering). Not as we used to do prop full forward and with flaps and gear it will decel. No idea but it might be indeed a special "thingi" for this plane IRL too.... Even with higher sink rates, plane does not accelerate. And as others mentioned already -taxi lo idle is common for turbo. Thanks for the video.

Beautiful Airplane....thanks Jon

When I taxi this, or any other aircraft like this, I always slowdown using the condition levers and the reverse thrust. It works fine for m e with this aircraft as well.

Keep it in low idle on the ground. A king air will also run away on the ground in high idle. Possibly also the ground friction modelling

regard the start button its a spring loaded button so its correrct it dont remain on start but the light should go on util 45%ng when it disengage! and unfortunatelly you missed to film and monitor the most important parameter on star, the itt, just after action the fuel lever to low!! thanks for the review im already installing the game hehehe

looks like the next thing ill throw my money at... great little flyer. great video also. keep it up ! respect from germany

Hello Jonathan, great intro video as usual, some things do need clearing up though, firstly propellar levers are not throttles, they are just that propellar levers, the fuel levers are called condition levers and if the aircraft is using PT-6 turbines, they do not need to go to high idle unless and only unless you need to start another engine or for the airconditioing on the ground whilst waiting to start another engine then reducing them back to low idle, again, high idle is not used even for take off, the engine fuel managment system takes care of that, finally the throttles are called power levers and are there to manage the power settings of the engines.

Some aircraft like the king air taxi in low idle and engaging high idle for takeoff and flight after landing reduceing to low idle again

dont forget the inertial separators but good video as usual :)

Seems like a decent smaller twin engine. Not my type plane really, but doesnt seem too bad. Other than airliners, I prefer TBM type aircraft.

I bought this sight unseen, mainly as its a twin PT6, you have hit on everything I also discovered but I still really like it, I think the positive forward thrust is quite common with a PT6 but also think perhaps its a little overdone as you could almost take off given a long enough runway. Lets hope they do an update to get buttons mapped e.g parking brake and tone down those over zealous engines a tad. The manual notes this is compatible with the 750 head unit but I could not find anywhere to change it from the GNS 530. Great review as always :)

Bạn là 1 pilot quá giỏi.. Tôi thích cảm ơn những video clip của Bạn

8:50 My dad was EMB121 Pilot/Instructor... im pretty sure u don't taxi on High Idle... almost all turboprops u operate in ground idle til the moment u set for take off then u bring it to high idle.. as soon as u land u will bring It back to ground idle or Low Idle whatever its called... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8eHebmD37WXgZ8.html check this video of a real start on an EMB121... when u open the fuel during any Pratt and Whitney engines is usually to LOW idle or Ground Idle ( I don't remember how its called, the only turbo prop I flew in real life was GARRETT engine.. a Turbo Commander) Im not sure how this EMB121 software is working... but im pretty positive that the condition levers should be back during ground opr not full forward like that... but I might be wrong too.... its being 12 years that I just fly A320 lol

Interesting review of the aircraft, nice to see people reviewing the not so common offerings in flight sims. However, it would be a good idea to understand the PT6 family of engines more thoroughly, how a turboprop works, how the condition and prop levers affect the engine, before criticizing the thrust model too much here. I see a number of user errors in your review. High idle on the ground would only be used really to start the second engine without external power, to provide extra power on startup, and to run the AC systems on the ground if particularly hot. Furthermore, high idle is helpful also for full reverse thrust on landing to reduce the spool-up times. Other than that, high idle is not necessary for normal operations (it does not command greater thrust on take off, only reduces the spool-up time on takeoff, like reverse thrust for landing), and is counterproductive on taxi. Look at the N1 speeds at high idle, that is a lot of thrust being produced. Low idle and beta range is what you need to maintain control during taxi. The way to slow down in a turboprop in the air (as they are often very slippery planes in flight, see the Dash-8 Q400, King Air series, Beechcraft PT6 Duke, Fairchild Metroliner etc) is to reduce the rate of descent, pull the thrust levers to flight idle and move the props to full fine, the prop discs acting as huge spinning airbrakes. This is the reason you generally do not reduce the thrust levers to idle on final approach in a turboprop, as the slow speed and flat pitch causes the planes to drop out of the sky... now, there may be an issue with the coupling of thrust and drag in the plane in MSFS that might need tweaking. But understanding the turboprop power plant better will improve your experience of such aircraft in sims.

For me, the plane that needs the most performance is more than the PMDG 737, which is a bit disappointing for me

Looked to me when you said the aircraft was taxiing to fast for idle the condition levers were full forward. Drag them back to low idle and that should solve the problem.

Good stuff.

My reversers don't work. I have a key on my joystick assigned to it but no amount of depressing of it works.

Is there any aircraft available in between this and the ATR. Been waiting for a 20-40 pax turboprop like the saab340, EMB120 or JS41 or similar. B1900D would be great as well.

they need to fix that pain

The idle thing is a non starter for me. It drives me crazy when planes start rolling at idle. Too bad. Nice looking plane.

Yeah, what the heck is with the power? You're making that much torque with the power levers down? Try opening the inertial separators and taxiing with the condition levers in low idle?

Propeller on the number one engine is turning the wrong direction ?

Similar to how the 110 starts

Despite The Hurry up and Taxi it doesn't seem that bad of an Aeroplane realy.

What happens when you move the props to the lower position

Could you control the speed by reducing the prop speed?

👍

Could it be a throttle miscalibration?

which version of FS is this for?? where can i find this aircraft???

It has the sound is the King Air MSFS sound "I'm ok with this". Geez, you set your expectations really low! I would avoid the plane like the plague if it does not "simulate" sounds properly. Let's have all single-engine planes in the sim with the default C-172 sounds lol.
