Simviation Forums

Hi, my first time on this forum. I downloaded the following aircraft:

FSX/FS2004 YS-11T-A "Tomboy" JMSDF NAMC v2.7. New features: improved model with feathering prop blade animation and parking mode with streamers, wheel chocks etc. VC with night lighting, smooth gauges, clikckable controls and window rain effects. This is a complete aircraft containing panel, sounds and effects. No previous version needed. Manual included. Authors: Esa Kaihlanen et al. /AFG. 57.5MB

Nice aircraft, very completet... Unfortunately  :-/ cant get the thing to fly. Engines start, then one stops all that on take off...

Who can help.

1.6GHz Centrino (I know its a bit slow for FSX)

What about reading the aircraft's panel manual or readme?

Fuel trim needs to be adjusted constantly to avoid overheating of the engines.

Start a scenario with any other plane as long as its not the downloaded one, ensure the engines are running and everything is hunky dory.  Then use the file alt key to fetch up the file menu.  Change aircraft in the file menu, when it loads you should be clean and green to go.

Oh don't be silly!  sheesh, you people and your weird ideas...

Same thing was happening to me when I first downloaded the aircraft. Then I just glimpsed at the engine temperature gauges and realised my mistake.... All I did from then on was not to use the engines at full power and just give it enough power so that the engines don't go into the red...  8-)

Thanks for all your comments. I actually downloaded 2 versions of that plane. When I power up on takeoff, I never make it to the end of the runway, haha. One engine just shuts off.

I too have a problem with that plane, but  on powering avoiding red lining, it slews violently left.

checked both sticks but same thing. only with this model.

May try re loading?

Torque?

if you want the torque to stop either use a little rudder as you apply power or just turn it of in your realism settings

Thanks for the tip. I have some great machines flying without a hitch... but this one is trouble, haha.
And to that GENIUS suggesting to read the manual I say:  ;) NUTS.

[glow=yellow,2,300]After trying a number of things with control, etc. I did the following: When placing the plane on a designated airport I switched immediately to the 3d cockpit, and had no problems to take off and use that baby....  ;D[/glow]

Great plane to fly... wish though it had GPS :-/ Can I insert GPS on that plane, and if so how???

See ya

Hi Bjoern,
just wanted to reply to your unfunny comment above. As if we were unable to read, buddy , haha. Of course most of us and myself read the panel manual before operating the plane, and whatever there is available when a problem occurs, like a read me or else.. We are here to help each other, if we can, right?

I got the TOMBOY flying! How? I discovered that if one switches to the 3D cockpit before powering up the engines, the thing actually flies, and nicely. One of the more complete aircrafts I have. AND, since you are a knowledgable fellow, maybe you can help with the following: How can I add a GPS module to the panel???

WindowXX=GPS

[WindowXX]
size_mm=456,378
window_size=0.5
position=8
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
VISIBLE=0
ident=GPS_PANEL

gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500,            0,0



Have fun figuring out what to do with those.
Hint: They go into the panel.cfg and should be easy to implement if you can recognize the pattern.

despite some people's non understanding and patronising drivel

I've been working at bratislava airport to get this baby flying............

I did it just 10 minutes ago. the problem I found is this. the throttle quadrant (click the little icon), is default set to flight. which seems to run up the engines immediately despite being set to F1
So when you appear at the runway end, to start. slap on the parking brakes press f10 and select the throttle quadrant button. move the throttle setting to ground and fire up to full (f4) or Jstick throttle.
1 press on f7 flaps too.
the plane will run down the runway, now as you pick up speed flick the switch back to flight (you could designate a key for it. and off you go into the wild blue yonder. take the throttle back to 3/4 or you'll burn out the engines after a few minues Some slovakian got toasted me for tea  :'(

Hi Bjoern,
thanks for the help, but I already successfully inserted the GPS, and its working .
Maybe there is another way to approach the sensitivity of the TOMBOY. There must be an approach to soften the settings in the CFG file.
Stay in touch.
