JUST FLIGHTS F-27

[Ian Warren]

I can almost get there blindfolded , did a bitta flying out off there, one trip took Gary his son Paul up ... run around the sky chasing a Yak52 .

Be ideal to get photo's off the Friendship as well , so many things in this place .

[Splitpin]

As i said .... sounds like its a go , and I'll get you there and back in good shape skinny guy , dont worry.
Catch up soon and file the plan.

The 'G's maybe fix me ...

Screen shot test

Looks ok to me skinman .... just click on it .
Did it need to be changed ?

All that aside .... those cabin windows dont look right .... any way to get a bit of reflection or something?

Just following up on problems and issues , it maybe just a glitch and connected to the regular updates of the last 8 hours , simply things I'm picking up but others having small problems , this was used to try and track the problem down.

So you are required to click on it the screen to expand it ?

..... Yes indeed.

Well here is the Mike Stone F27 reworked for FSX by comparison. I still I think this one's better, someone convince me it isnt.

[Ian Warren]

SORRY Bendy that was great in its time , your going to really love this JUST FLIGHT F-27, there is a SP1 incoming but I am sure .. No I know this is one you will like this one .. there are many questions , the sound package is getting good .

[BendyFlyer]

Well here is hoping, I am continually disappointed by JF stuff, either it is not great in terms of fidelity or looks (JF Connie, DC-3) or they don't seem to finish off or get stuff to work which is bog standard really now in FSX (DC8, DC3, Connie, Comet, etc). Tried them all and the only two that remain in my hangar are the L-1011 Tristar and the BAE 146, the rest went to the bin as freeware stuff was better ala Manfred Jan and others, even Piglets weirdo planes run rings around JF, so I always cringe when I hear JF has released something because I think, here we go again, great visuals nice overall textures but then switches and gauges that don't work properly, weird views in the pilot seat, poor frame rates and so I go on which is not what I intended because I otherwise have no issues with JF just wish they would take more care with stuff before releasing it, this SP's to infinity afterwards is crap.

Anyhow those who have it keep us all posted as to how it performs.

[Ian Warren]

JUST for you Bendy, the Friendship is ways far better than Mikes old model the JF model development jokers have changed ideas .. planing and even paint kit is easy , the aircraft systems are not exact , one thing I'm starting to like is the sound package as each core burns and really starts cooking but generally all-round it is .. well I'm sure you would enjoy it

[cowpatz]

The externals of the JF model are good but I still prefer the old Fraser McKay panel. He had the feel of it just right. Fuel trimmers that worked, realistic starting and autopilot as well as capturing the unique characteristics of the Dowty Rotol prop/RR dart combo. The sound was good too.
The JF looks like an F27 but it isn't one that I remember flying.
Hopefully the SP can correct some of those issues but I don't sense any major urgency or commitment from the developer.

If only I could get the McKay panel to work in P3D.

Fuel trimmers are getting looked at , been pointed out , very sure that is in the fix , I past on your autopilot problem details as well so we will see what comes out off it .

This again is the one thing that keep coming up, so many variations off the cockpit , depends on who is doing the refurbishment or even if the style was American made of Fokker made then all the later updates , its an interesting area .

End off the day its the best Fokker F-27 Friendship and .... It's really the only one , no one else was interested in building it which I thought was very strange , all and all its getting the attention so improvements will follow.

Yes Ian we do have to appreciate the fact that the time was taken to produce a much needed F27. It does have some very good features but also some that are not so good.
An autopilot pop up panel would be really useful and the FDE effects modified a bit. At the moment you can close the throttles at 200 ft and glide in merrily whereas the real machine would have just dropped as quick as a brick at smoko time

Good to see that RAZBAM is doing the ATR.

I like that "whereas the real machine would have just dropped as quick as a brick at smoko time"

I'll post your recommends thru and see what the result is

[Ian Warren]

New ATR ... I wonder what happened to the RAZBAM P3 Orion .. tho the Team-KBT really fills the gap there and with the so many variants.
