Shorts Skyvan
Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 12:03 pmI just downloaded a Shorts SD3-60-300 and is a pure joy to fly . I wonder if anyone is aware of one with a virtual cockpit and cabin & more realistic looking engines /wing views . I would also like to find one without all of that warning stuff of Glide Slop , pull up , etc. I suppose flying properly would eliminate that , and am sure it is a wonderful feature in real flight , but is a nuisance in the sim . The flaps don't seem to be as effective as I had imagined they would be .
In my version I noticed multiple GS yellow indicators flickering and is a little troublesome . I also had to hit shift and enter twice to see over the panel and is also a nuisance when switching back to wing views which necessitates going back through raising the seat . It does have a very nice panel .
The sounds by Aaron Swindle of SkySong Soundworkks are absolutely superb ! He is tops in sound in my opinion and I have always liked anything he does .
Just wondering if anybody has seen one of these that has been re-worked ? I also wonder why nearly all landing lights are not very visible from the cockpit and do not project a greater distance down the runway
Thanks ,
