PC12 FSX | P3D

Hi everyone. Here's a bit of a silly question, but where can I look to determine the version # of my PC-12? Many thanks to any patient soul willing to point it out. :-)

Hi Folks, While it's a straight forward tracing job of the default blue and silver scheme - what a difference a little color makes... Still very much a work in progress - the stripes need work and I'm debating whether to paint the entire empennage red instead of black - we'll see - I was just surprised how good the red looks when I loaded it up into the sim... Combined with Bert's mods and RXP's GNS I'm really starting to like this plane... Regards, Scott

Hi Folks, Trying to map my autopilot functions to my programmable keyboard - most of the functions are pretty straight forward... Anyone know what the respective "SPD HOLD" control is in FSUIPC - and if it's not available there - would anyone know the LVAR so I could LUA script it ? Also - odd - had the "YAW DAMPER" setup and working - then on subsequent starts of FS it stopped working even though appears correctly mapped in FSUIPC... Anyone know if there is anything odd with this "YAW DAMPER" implementation that may explain this ? Regards, Scott

I noticed than when I move the throttle forward out of “beta” range to idle, power seems to surge, increasing aircraft taxi speed at a time when I’m trying to slow down. The power level does eventually drop to idle. I’m using Saitek Throttle Quadrants and have programmed the button (Throttle fully retarded past idle) with the Throttle Decrease (repeat) command using FSUIPC. Has anyone else noticed this?

I started the clock on the transponder after engine start and noticed towards the end of my flight it was showing the elapsed time as 1h 65m. Did I do something wrong in starting the timer or is this a known bug?

I’ve stumbled across a couple issues that probably need to be reported to Carenado on the PC-12 but I thought I’d ask here first, just in case I’ve missed something in the sim. On the center console between the seats, there is a switch that turns on backlighting of the flight instruments (altimeter, airspeed gauge, etc.). The light level is way too bright, so much that potions of the gauges are unreadable. The only functioning dimmer control I can find only works for the EHSI. Am I missing one somewhere? Is there a place in the coding where this could be turned down? The other issue has to do with the 2d pop up of the autopilot panel. When I select HDG, a green…

Hi, Some might not know yet Marc "Flying V" Hardouin from France did several great repaints of the PC-12. The latest (on my request) is the N668TW of Tradewind Aviation. Link: http://restauravia.fr/html/les_repaints_de_marc.html Merci Marc! Regards, Marcel

Hi, Could somebody make this repaint for me. I'd really appreciate. Thank you very much. Real https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C-FCVD_PC12_Chrono_Aviation_at_Cambridge_Bay_Airport_01.JPG

Bert may be the best person to answer this but if someone else knows, please chime in. In Bert's Gauge Mod, he disabled the Avidyne EX500 so that it does not come on. I have since gone back to the panel.cfg file and renabled it so that it works. I don't remember whether a pop up 2D window for the Avidyne unit was available (there seems to be a click point on the top bezel) by clicking on the bezel or whether I could bring it up using "shift x" (one of the numerical keys). I would like to be able to replace one of the 2D pop ups, currently assigned to one of the "shift x" commands, to display the Avidyne unit. I'm assuming (yes, I know what that means) that this is possibl…

I'm really beginning to love the Carenado PC12 with all of Bert's and Autogyros' mods added. I've taken the checklists I can find (Carenado's supplied and the actual PC12 POH) and rewritten them to match the "flow" of the checklist found in the video "Flight Video Productions - The Pilatus PC-12 Flight Video" (https://www.fspilotshop.com/flight-video-productions-the-pilatus-flight-video-p-545.html). In doing so, besides my earlier issue of having to select "INGITION" to ON instead of "AUTO" (in order to start the engine), I found another discrepancy. In the POH, Section 4.8 "Before Takeoff", item #14 calls for DC Amps Battery(s) be checked for 15 Amps maximum. It als…

Hi, i am working with HID Macros to setup my second keyboard to control directly my gps garmin 530 and autopilot, but i'm having a hard time finding the SimConnect event id. I've search in the list of Event ID on microsoft website https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526980.aspx but for a couple of them I can't find anything that work. Is there a way to use a software to monitor Event ID in FSX that I can click on the different button and knob, so it show up in the log of that software. After that it's easy to add them to HID Macros with the ID. I am working with the Carenado PC-12 The list of what I can't associate with a simConnect event: …

The PC12 likes to jump off the line both in FSX and in P3D at start up, regardless of whether or not the props are feathered or not (even though you can't feather the PC12 IRL anyway). I used to think this was a limitation in FSX until I moved to P3D v4 and it's still a problem, so it must be with Carenado. Why can't Carenado figure out how to model a turboprop start up sequence correctly?

I've done numerous flight now, but sometimes during flight the P12 suddenly gets totally out of control. Example: flying on a loaded flightplan, after take-off at around 1000ft turn on AP, set cruise alt to 20.000 ft, climbrate 1800ft, everything ok but then aircraft suddenly starts to climb till stall warning comes up, aircraft turns elsewhere, looses flightpath. After turning off AP and flying manually, i can stabilize the aircraft somehow, but when turning on AP again, same mess, weired climb behaviuor and never finds back to the flightpath and finally I have to abort the flight. No errors/warnings on the CAWS come up. Flying in P3Dv4.1 under Windows 10

Hi, When turning on the engine the plane starts rolling. Even with the throttle at idle and parking brake set. Yoke is set up with FSUIPC. Always had this problem with Carenados prop planes, never with other companies. Anyone know a solution?

I've installed the Caranado PC-12 into P3D v3.4 and tried a couple of flights and both have exhibited the same problem. The aircraft keeps pulling to the left and if left uncorrected will eventually end up in a 30° bank. This seems totally unrealistic for a payware aircraft. I've disabled the P3D controls and everything is calibrated via FSUIPC. My other aircraft is FSL Concorde - quite a different beast - and this has none of the problems when hand flying. That would appear to vindicate my Saitek yoke and FSUIPC calibration so what could be the problem? Do I need to adjust the realism sliders - currently all set to max? I'm hoping there's a simple solution to t…

Anyone running dual Flight 1 GTN 650s in place of the dual default GNS 530s? Wanted to give it a try and was curious if anyone had a panel configuration to share. Thanks!

Just as the title says. The altitude/VS gauge and ADF gauge next to it are completely blank. No display. They seem functional, meaning I can still set a vertical speed (and presumably an altitude), but I can't actually see the numbers I'm selecting. I've tried redownloading/reinstalling the plane, so I know it's the latest version as of this post, and I'm running P3D v4 with the F1 GTN installed.

Has anyone else had the problem with P3D v4 where you're flying along and P3D crashes back to desktop? I am flying all other Carenado airplanes without any problem. I'm on the current P3D v4 with GTX1080 TI FTW3, 32G DDR4 memory, I7-6700 and Samsung 1TB SSD.

I have my prop control mapped to my F3/F4 keys, decrease/increase I noticed that they work to change the prop in the plane, but there is no actual prop levers that I can see by the throttles. so my question is, is this a "bug" or a "feature" - can real pc12 pilots adjust the prop speed in the real pc12? I notice my tourque? can't remember the second to top engine guage drops as I climb, so then I bring back my prop and it goes up again. What is the correct procedure? I just happen to come on to this by accident/messing around with it.

Since Reality XP has released their updated version of the GNS530W for p3dv4, has anyone been able to successfully integrate it into the PC12? Thanks!

In response to a user request, I have made the EADI readouts more similar to the official aircraft documentation. If that interests you and you have my earlier GTN version, send me a PM with your email address.

Good morning, Can the pc12 use shared cockpit in p3dv4 and if so how? Also were can we find different reskin/paints of the pc12? Thanks in advance Ben.

Hi Gang: Just could use some clarification please. I know the PC12 is v4 ready but the GTN isn't. That said, how many mods./updates are there to this airplane? Is it 1 or 2 (or more)? There seems to be a few topics regarding mods./updates. And, of the mods./updates, are they all v4 compatible? Thank you for the summary.
