Absolutely brilliant upload and that vintage aircraft is a beauty! Loved the approach and landing!

I have flown this Model since it came out...had no issues at all with the default planes landings. same with the DC-3... Because I have flown both in real life, I was amazed how close it was to the real thing. I can't wait to see the new mods for them. Both are the most fun to fly, in both VFR and IFR flying. Sound is outstanding. I usually am totally imersed in just minutes. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, thanks for reaching out! You should try the Denarq mod from flightsim.to for the 18, total overhaul of the oil system, engine wear added, they really did a lot of work.

Wow-nicely done! Agreed, the Denarq modded Beech 18 is great fun! As you explained well, the engines must be carefully managed. Very immersive and very satisfying! Thanks for the oil by-pass tip; I‘ve been increasing the sim rate to shorten warm-up wait time and then returning to normal rate when they’re ready.

I love the D-18 with the Denarq mod. It has become my go-to when I just wanna have a relaxing, fun flight in a classic radial-engined twin. Which is alot! I have a ton of aircraft for MSFS, but I fly this one more than any of them.

Wow, did not think about standing on the brakes in the Beech! A few more feet and you would have no choice but to stand on them. I thought you had plenty of room to stop. But it ain't no Islander. And to make things more interesting, low visibility! Fun and nice flight.

I agree the bleed through with DX12 is very bad. Did Asobo say they were going to fix this in SU15?. I don’t recall seeing this in the release notes .

@beescan22 Ай бұрын

Terrific video. Can you address the installation of the Denarq mod where it says delete state.cfg file? Does this apply only to the Carenado Local legend Beech 18? Thanks for your time and effort in producing this video; I wanted to get the BE18 when it was released but was not impressed with Carenado version. I was unaware of Denarq mod until your video, excited to try this!

@IslandSimPilot Ай бұрын

You're going to love it, the mod is awesome. I didn't delete that state.cfg file until after a few flights, I missed that note. You literally just delete that file from the install folder. I think what that does is gives you state saving, in other words oil level and such will be continuious from one flight to the next. Let me know if that answers you question.

@chrisloach9658 Ай бұрын

I did ask on the denarq mod forum about taxing at idle and I was told you're supposed to taxi with the fuel pumps on to stop the engines cutting out vs keeping the power up and riding the brakes. I think the taxi checklist does call for them to be on during taxi.

@IslandSimPilot Ай бұрын

Yeah, it says the fuel booster pumps should be on, but that you should have the throttles at 1300 RPM. Hmmm. Is this a Discord server where the forum is? I still have a lot to learn about this plane but it is a BLAST to fly.

@chrisloach9658 Ай бұрын

@@IslandSimPilot No as far as I can tell the main place for discussion of the mod is the thread about it on the official msfs forum. The Duckworks mod for the DC-3 has a discord. But there's not one for the Beech 18 as far as I know.

Might have to hunt for some vids of the real plane taxiing where you can see what's going on.

@ImpendingJoker Ай бұрын

You don't really gain much with DX12, so I just stick with DX11 until they fix the DX12 issues. That said, if you want a nice taildragger with a round engine look at the Carenado Waco YMF-5. It's a lot of fun to fly low and slow.

@chrisibbotson6367 Ай бұрын

@@IslandSimPilot but does it happen if you do not use an external camera view? All videos I see on the issue are not in the cockpit. I appreciate after the textures bleed through that switching back to cockpit view doesnt help but on my system the problem only actually appears if I change camera to an external one. I need Dx 12 for the frame gen mod. One way to restore them is to switch to drone view and move the camera up to a high altitude then when the normal textures reappear press 5 on the numpad to bring the camera straight back down
