| Which plane? - I am trying to decide on the DF Baron and put the RXP 430/530 in it, or the Beech 200 X-treme! Does anyone have any real comments on either one? Thx, Guy

Oh where to spawn my plane. - Im just adding thread to the inisible buildings post. Im finding more often that I have to respawn until I dont roll my heavy into an overly close building, or there's never enough room to turn and reverse thrust only works on half my heavies. So what.
which is safer, car or plane. - I think you'll find that if an airliner from each national airline around the world went down each year, you still be under most national totals of road deaths in western The sad fact that goes against aviation is a majority of the time,..

Hi folks,
A question concerning the ATR...
On my Engine start panel, I have position called "Crank"....does anyone have
an idea what that means???
I have also bought the "X-treme King Air B200"...from Flight1, does anyone
have this wonderful turbo-prop??
regards..
Erik |

Erik, to "crank" an engine is to rotate it such as when starting. It's
unusual to see it applied to a turbo-prop - it's usually applied to piston
engines which have a crankshaft.

Thanks for your reply Iain...
How are you doing with the ATR, still flying it???
Itīs a great plane, I think I know all the systems quite well by now, though
some parts of the Elec System still is a bit confusing...
Thanks
Erik

Yes Erik, I still fly it occasionally. Trouble is I have so many planes that
I enjoy flying it is difficult to decide. It depends on the distance as
turbo-props are slow in comparison to jets, so extra- short haul is best!

Yes Erik, I love both of them. Nonetheless even if I believe that
the B200 still has some issues that could be improved the fun flying
it is on a very high level.

Hey..glad to hear you are still flying it...I donīt think many in here has
the ATR, so it can be difficult to get help on that model, unless you know
it...
how well do you now all the systems??....I keep saying to myself that I
should now all the systems down to smallest detail....I donīt know wether
that is possible although I think know the systems very good by now...have
also read the manual 3 times  )...
Thanks
Erik

Hey Axel, thanks for your response...
Perhaps I can ask you if/when I have some questions about the B200...??
Fortunately Iīm already familiar with many parts of the plane and
subsystems, based on the experience from the ATR
Thanks

You may try it Erik but I not too often here anymore. It took me too
much time reading all contributions instead of flying. In case of
any questions I would recommend the Aeroworx forum
(http://www.aeroworx.com/smf/index.php). You will get quite soon the
required answers there. For me that forum is the best and most
responsive one I know.
Hey, its time for some advertising! 
You may look here
http://www.aeroworx.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=6a4608b0e6ea621d1fe568...c695439
You may like the proposed changes to the bitmaps and panel.cfg.

I know as much as I need to operate it, which I do without any problem. As
for the manual, you have more patience than me. It is one of the most
unreadable and unhelpful manuals I've come across for a good quality payware
aircraft. It's not so much the content but the illogical way it is laid out.
But a great add-on nevertheless!
