Chairman Posted September 27, 2020 Report Posted September 27, 2020 Just dropped the alpilotx NZ Scenery into x-plane so as a test I did my usual scenic milk run (with CAVOK weather because real weather is absolutely pants down there right now) from NZQN across the Alps then up the West Coast to where ever I happen to be when I run out of caffeine. Today it was just south of NZGM so that was where I landed. Decent enough landing but awful taxiing, I got a bit carried away with the beta when I was parking and ended up going backwards, and when I realised I instinctively used the brakes. Doh. Weirdly, even though the prop stopped when the plane tipped back the engine kept running and I couldn't shut it down. I went through all the shut down steps right to cold and dark but no luck, I couldn't even start it again, so I just used the auto engine start function then shut it down again once it was going. Miraculously there doesn't seem to be any damage to the plane. ps flight was great, as is everything from AFM/Torquesim ! 1 Quote
Coop Posted September 27, 2020 Report Posted September 27, 2020 Ah, X-Plane's failures can be a bit odd with a prop strike or something else they deem a "crash". It essentially pauses large segments of the sim exactly where they were last. Quote
Attitude Posted September 30, 2020 Report Posted September 30, 2020 Haha, yeah engine separation. It tosses all that weight right off the airframe lololol Glad to see this thing flying~ Nice screens Quote
