The concept of the FMS (or user layout) is quite different (in using numbered lines) to program the FMS with Flight (Route) details and Performance elements, plus the added elements that are important like X-FILL or Crossfill between the left and right FMS consoles. For example the release of the FlyJSim Q4XP (Dash Q400) had a brand new style of FMS (Flight Management System) called UNS-1Ew Flight Management System. Yes I admit I do tutorials as part of the review process, I call them "Short Cuts", or the way that you can follow the process to learn how it works in an edited form. But more importantly you take away details that can short cut the learning curve, to getting to the core of the flying or interacting more quickly with the simulator, and most importantly the aircraft. So yes the point here with BtheS and most importantly in the reviews is that as a user you can take away information we have learnt and passed on to you, again I believe that yes you want to know the latest information on a new or updated/upgrade releases. But on average I am using X-Plane around seven hours a day for six days a week in one capacity or another, which adds up to 42 hours a week, that is a lot of time to be in a simulator, but weirdly I don't yet find it boring or uninteresting, in fact quite the opposite. I went through that review process last month. interaction means accessing new product, keeping the simulator in a good working order (filing and updates), which oddly can be quite time consuming, learning new concepts relating to the simulator, and also learning the details of the aircraft that are being simulated. Yes I spend a lot of time per week doing X-Plane simulation. To see how we do and deal with day to day involvement with the simulator, you can then make choices with your interaction with your own simulator. But I believe (as I have since my first reviews), that to go forward in any concept (in this case an Aircraft Simulator) that it is a learning process. Not many review sites expose their inner workings.

A similar arrangement between Pilatus and British Aerospace had also been in place for a Royal Air Force competition in the 1980s, although that competition selected the Short Tucano. The T-6 is a development of the Pilatus PC-9, modified by Beechcraft to enter the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) competition in the 1990s. The aircraft is fitted with Martin-Baker Mark 16 ejection seats and a canopy fracturing system. It is powered by single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68 turboprop engine in tractor configuration with an aluminum, 97-inch (8.1 ft 2.5 m), four-blade, constant-speed, variable pitch, non-reversing, feathering propeller assembly and has retractable tricycle landing gear. The Model 3000/T-6 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with enclosed tandem seating for two. X-PlaneReviews did an apdate review to the X-Plane 12 conversion here Aircraft Review: AOASimulations-T6A Texan II X-Plane 12 Improved canopy lock/unlock annunciator logicĪs you can see another couple of features and a few adjustments have also been do in v1.1 XP12. Note: Military "Tactical Air Navigation" (TACAN) capability was added to the sim by Laminar Research in X-Plane 12 New longer 40 second engine start spool time as per actual T-6A PT6A turboprop engine specsĪdded TACAN nav station tuning capability to Nav radio and needle display on EHSI Another addition is TACAN nav station tuning capability to Nav radio and needle display on EHSI, a X-Plane 12 feature provided by Laminar Research with X-Plane 12. changes that covers Native support for M1 / M2 Mac. Here is another (quick) update to cover the SASL 2.1. NEWS! - AOA Simulations updates T-6A Texan ll to Mac v1.1 XP12Īfter a big update to the T-6A Texan ll to X-Plane 12 back in early May 23.
