playing around with my new Catalina, approaching lake Hawea

A nicely composed shot (not that I'm an expert....?)

One of the many highlights for many people at the Tauranga Air Show was the Catalina, which came and went all day - beautiful to watch...

I'm pleased you brought the Catalina KC , is she all i said it was or you have some reservations , you have to run it as realistic as possible , i think a DC-3 with the same engine management would be supreme .

Yea, its great. so far I haven't flown for more than 15 minutes without blowing up the engines

Nice! Have you get the NZ Catalina Club (RNZAF) scheme for it yet?

by **kcgb** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 7:59 am

yep and its awsome

but I need to figure out how to use the modern autopilot, I can use the sperry, but not the bendix

Agreed. Would love to be able to "fly" the Warbirds DC-3 with full engine control (as in Accusim).

I think with this Cat ... Accusim .. . it has inbuilt , currently comparing the Daks pilot notes and recent book i brought on the Catalina ... Aerosoft , has sold me on this one .

... it would be interesting if there is to be a Grand Finale DC-3 for FSX
