Deputy Sheriffs kroswynd 335 Posted July 8, 2023 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 8, 2023 Fellow Simviators, I hope all is well with everyone. Yes I have been somewhat in hiding (well not really - just a bit caught with real world aviation projects at work). This month I think we can give one of my favorite aircraft types some love - Turboprops!!! This is your chance to show your favorite turboprop regardless of the Simulator. I could show hundreds (possibly thousands of shots of turboprop aircraft type). Q400 landing in LOWI (P3D v5.3) Please login to display this image. Close up of landing action!!

edetroit 529 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Wow! Outstanding shots.....especially the first one. I always feel a pinch of pain when I see the TBM because Carenado decided not to make it for FS9. Been waiting for years to get hi res ATR cockpit shots then she will be in my panel shop. All great aircraft. I look forward to what folks come up with. Regards Ed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TBM in FS9 would have been great, and I would love to see what you'll be able to do with the ATR if you gain access to a ATR flight deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edetroit 529 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 My favourite turboprop. I love how the cockpit looks impossible to understand but after hours of study it all makes sense. The fact that they are still around today speaks volumes. Please login to display this image. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs kroswynd 335 Posted August 12, 2023 Author Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 12, 2023 This month's contest was certainly a challenge even though there only a few entries - Each had a story to tell. No as some of you know my true passion in aviation is with anything with a PT-6 hanging off the wings. Let's congratulate @edetroit (Capt. Picasso) for his entry. Ed has been able to tame this monstrous, intimidating beast look and or seem simple to operate, especially since the flight-deck is labeled in Russian. To fly it properly as a single pilot in the SIM I always found to be a challenge, but once mastered or having a general understanding of the flows I know she is a joy to fly. Would love to see if cross over to a newer SIM platform eventually. This scene captures a mission that regardless of the weather conditions will get done. Poor runway conditions are no match for the is beast. Long Live FS9.1!! Email to follow shortly On 7/31/2023 at 6:33 PM, edetroit said: My favourite turboprop.

edetroit 529 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Thank you very much! I was a big Fokker F-27 fan (First aircraft I flew on as a boy) but the An-12 stole my heart in the end. Regards Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
