New from PWDT: The Zlin Z-43!!

As with all of the PWDT planes, this one looks great!

A nice VC

Flies pretty well

My only problem is that the stupid Artificial Horizon indicator doesn't work >:(  If anyone knows how to fix it, please tell me

Great Details

If you liked that try out the SOCATA TB 9 / 10 / 20 and the        Robin DR400 found at www.francefvr.com

Yeah! Another Czech plane :) Will have to get that one, once I've finished with my comp shots,  flying something a little bit faaaassssttteeeeerrrrr... Colour scheme a bit communist and drab though (like a Trabant, Wartburg, old Skoda car, all had really grim colours), I like to look flash when I fly, to impress the birds... :)

yeah, I didn't really have time to read the checklist.  I was only able to fly for a little bit, because I had to do homework.

And kirgl, don't worry, there's a lot more paint schemes

That might be a little problem, but that is still a beautiful cockpit layout, especially the VC.

Same solution... Converter is off, so this instrument isn't powered. Just switch it on, or better, fly like real pilots do - using checklists.

A good point you have, but you will find with most of SimV members that we just want to get in and fly GA Aircraft, We save checklists for the haevies ;)

I guess you didn't start using the checklist, am I right? ;) Because with 99,9% probability, you don't have Convertor sector switch turned on (top row, last one on the right). Artificial horizon and gyrocompass are electrical instruments and work only with convertor switched on.

Sometimes it really pays of to look at the checklist, I guess you wouldn't be able to start up the engine without it too.

On the other hand... I'm glad you like our bird, it's been few months of work and I shed some hair because of it few times during the development
