Back To Page 2 FRAPS and Simulation Size We’re going to set FRAPS up to record at 30 fps, in the full size of the simulation as displayed, with sound. One can reduce the frames per second and speed it up later in order to compensate for a slow running mission, but since there’s […]
Back To Page 1 Making Many Tracks Out of One Binding a key to start and stop online recording is a must, as we’re going to make a new .ntrk file for each clip and angle. This file can be quite large. In this case over 4MB. So we’ll load the big track file […]
by Guest Writer Frank “BA_Dart” Giger Introduction We all enjoy the films made from various simulations, as they show them in the same way we see them. Some are historically correct, some are humorous, some are sweeping and moving. Since I am probably one of the most prolific movie makers (though not the best — […]
by Guest Writer Walter “Torquatus” Manley Let us take a walk down memory lane to a quieter time, where you could go to a computer-games store and buy a product called Janes Longbow. I’m sure that the name brings a tear to the eye for some of you. This was an era of sim greatness, […]
Back To Page 8 Aeroworx King Air B200 Q & A Here’s an interview with Henning van Rensburg, Aeroworx Aircraft Technician and self-proclaimed resident tea-boy. Q: How many people worked on the project and how long did the B200 take to develop? A: In total, we were five people that contributed to the project, of which […]
Back To Page 7 Proceeding via the engine secure checklist we turned off the affected engine auto-ignition, generator, and the auto-feather switch. Verified we had closed the right-side firewall shutoff valve (to prevent pumping more fuel into the nacelle). With a bunch of altitude to lose we had the operative engine back at flight […]
Back To Page 6 Over the numbers the throttle comes back and I roll in a bit of nose-up trim as the plane settles toward the ground. Ideally the throttle reaches full idle just as the airspeed winds down through 85 to 90 knots a few inches above the pavement. Touching down the nose-wheel […]
Back To Page 5 Preparing for the approach I slow down and get the approach flaps out and the props forward (usually I don’t put the props forward until just inside the final approach fix) while being vectored on the left downwind leg for the ILS 34 at AVL. There is a bug […]
Back To Page 4 I’ve only just briefly touched on the depth, complexity and accuracy of the Aeroworx B200 avionics and systems modeling but suffice it to say I was floored with the level of detail that went into this package. Not only am I impressed by the simulated aircraft, but the documentation is […]
Back To Page 3 Time for a “war story”! Though most of the time the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42 is extremely reliable there are occasions when things don’t go right. Several months ago I was getting ready for a dead leg (no patient) near midnight from BNA (Nashville, TN) to our home base CLT […]
Back To Page 2 The throttle quadrant with movable trim, throttles, prop controls, condition levers, and flap selector: The left side fuel management panel with boost switches, aux-transfer switches, fuel cross-feed, firewall shutoff valves and aux vs. main tank quantity selectors and indicators: This review isn’t intended to be an exhaustive tutorial on how […]
Back To Page 1 It is abundantly clear in my reviewing the product, and in my personal interactions with Henning, that the Aeroworx team not only has a love of aviation, they also have a personal goal of perfection for their products. It is amusing to see Henning become animated over something that he […]
