  1. That's interesting. Thanks for your feedback. I haven't seen it from this point of view. How would be the best approach to calculate an appropriate flight altitude? Thanks and kind regards Itchy2
  2. Hi all, on my last flight I had a real challenge to climp for 7000 ft (airplane was loaded by 80%). Finally I ended up with a very low climb rate and the airplane didn't "felt good" (high angle) and speed cruise speed was very low (2700 rpm --> about 100 knots). The wind was very calm (haven't noted the values, but nothing worse, just a few knots). I decided to familiar myself with the performance sheet, but I cannot get trough it. Questions: - Why is density altitude increased by decreased power? e.g. Power 75 %, 2400 rpm --> max density altitude 8000; Power 59 %, 2000 rpm max density altitude 14000 - Is the shown density altitude (after calculation) the max. possible altitude I can reach in the flight? Many thanks and KR Itchy2
  3. Hi all, I need your support in terms of NDB Navigation. My expectation was: I enter the frequency in the KR87 ADF, set it active and the needle on the left down gauge will move. But nothing happend. Did I oversee an important step? Kind regards Itchy2
  4. Hi Coop, also here many thanks for your response. If you are checking the manual for typos: sometimes there is stated head instead of heat. Kind regards Itchy2
  5. Hi Coop, many thanks for your response. Kind regards Itchy2
  6. Hi, I'm working through the checklists and trying to understand / identify everything. Can somebody support me in finding the indicator for OAT? In the upper left clima panel there is the switch for "cabin heat" right? Where can I find the pilot heat? Many thanks and kind regards Itchy2
  7. Hi all, I have this lovely bird am I'm very happy. Was really worth spending my money on the BN2. I have a question regarding the start up procedure and the magnetos. I start with the right engine. In the checklist is stated: turn left magneto on. So is this magneto 1 on right engine? Or what is meant by that? Thx and kr Itchy2
  8. Happy to read this read. I also flooded my engines. Is there a chance to get the fuel out of them if it happens or do I need to restart my flight? Thanks and kind regards Itchy2

    Load manager?

    Hi, I'm looking for a kind of load manger. Haven't found anything in the aircraft itself. Discovered igo in web but I don't have an apple device. Is there anything available what I can use for load planning and refueling? At the moment I'm using the XPlane menu but I cannot check cog etc. Thx and KR Itchy
  10. Hi, are you flying with the same machine? Read something about this issue in the passenger version (and I had it in there too). Cargo is working fine. KR Itchy2
  11. Hi N1K, thanks for your feedback. Today I did another round, enjoying this wonderful plane and testing your tips. I noticed some "strange" behaviours. 1. When I turn off the Autopilot the alarm / info sound rings all the time (it repeats after a few secons). Pressing the master caution or warning button is not changing anything (and it's not flashing before). 2. I tried to fly VOR with a course but the autopilot is only following heading or GPS (even if I changed the selector knob to VOR). 3. In the menu (Charts.pdf) on page 52 (all engines service ceiling): I would interpret it as follows: with 27.000 lb weigt I can reach FL 310 having temp. of -20 °C, is that correct? I'm asking because it was "hard" to climb at FL230 with 25000 lb weight. I think I'm reading the table "wrong". Can you support. KR Itchy2
  12. Hi all, I bought the LES on the last sale and I'm very happy with the plane. Reason for buying it was, that the Airbus becomes boring sometimes. It's my first turboprob on X-Plane. The last experiences were long long time ago in FSX. A few questions occured after the first flights. Maybe you can help me: I tried to assign the parking break to a joystick key but I wasn't able to find it in the assignment list. How is the name of the parking break? Toggle Breaks max is not working. Any recommendations for a very good tutorial flight on youtube? I'm not looking for a 30 minutes hop. I want some explanations in the video. But there are many different variants of usage and I don't know what is right or wrong. Is there a way to change the outside air preassure for the altimeters from "in" to "hPa"? Still haven't understood the "max" function of the condition levers? What happens if I move the cond. levers full forward? How do I handle the thrust and cond. levers on climb, in flight, descent? is everything adjusted via the thrust levers? I don't think so. When to move which lever? Looking forward for your response.
