Night Take off

[happytraveller]

Couple of nice shots here, this time the Piper Cheyenne (I) lining up at night and almost ready for take off. Wonderful aircraft to fly and a great model. The secret seems to be to get it all programmed in the GPS first, and let the autopilot take care of the basics, then you can concentrate on the engine management and things like pressurisation. Nice night lighting as well, so great to fly day or night. It is a great step up from a piston single, but so much more rewarding, and also far less complex than the likes of a 737 or A320.






Smooth landings.

Oh yes, that is a sweet aircraft, and very nice shots too HT
Is that the Aerosoft version ?.....i have it somewhere.

Digital Aviation version, which I think is sold by Aerosoft. Whoever sells it, it is a great add-on!!! Not that hard to fly but the engine management takes a bit of time (especially the engine torque) but providing you stick to the book speed then landing it is fairly easy. Seems a bit reluctant to lose speed if you are too high/too fast, but it is a superb add-on.

smooth landings.
