Hard to taxing

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 21:10:41 +0000

Hi,

My Dornier 228 is very hard to taxi, many inercia, requires much power to start taxi and keep speed on ground. Anyone have a solution or mod that improve the plane?

How to set ADF Frequencies (tenths)

Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:39:37 +0000

Hi, i do quite like this plane so far. Although buyer experience could be much better, if the manuals were only slightly as good as the texture work.

Having said that here is my question. In my P3D v3 i am not to tune ADF frequencies properly.

The hundreds dial works fine.

The tenths dial only works for the third digit.So there is no way to change from 280,0 to 290 etc.

Does anybody have the same problem or found a way to do this?

Do228 Universal FMC

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 01:58:12 +0000

Hello All,

Does anyone know whether its possible to store flight plans in the Universal FMC and then load a particular one when required ?

It's possible in many other FMCs but I cant find how to do it in the Universal.

Thanks

Can't start engines

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 12:28:15 +0000

Hello,

I`ve installed the Carenado 228 for Prepar3D V4 but it isn´t possible to start the engines. I follow exactly the tutorial but the engines only spool up and then shut down again. Even with the shortcut shift+E or the sub menu "ready for taxi" nothing happend. It is impossible to bring the engines to life.

Is there a solution?

Regards

Auto Pilot and Flight Director tutorial?

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 13:18:28 +0000

Hi!

I'm an FSX user and I've just bought this aircraft. My previous most complicated aircraft was the A2A 172 so I'm now a little lost with the autopilot and flight director in the DO228. I've searched around unsuccessfully for documentation. Does anyone know of any or videos or anything (note of desperation creeps into voice). I found the original Pilots Handbook for the real a/c but it has no mention of those areas.

Otherwise it'll be trial and error for me :)

I'm looking to use this in Air Hauler 2 when I buy it (soon) along with the 172. First I thought I'd try to get at least half competent at flying these in instrument conditions.

Cheers!

Chris.

Repaint request

Wed, 07 Sep 2016 14:31:54 +0000

I was hoping that somebody could paint some liveries for the Do228? Interestingly, it seemed to have been used as a commuter airliner in the 80s and 90s before being relegated to less mainstream roles nowadays. I'd love to see Northwest Airlink (both red and grey/white) and Midway Connect liveries. Not many images are available through google but each livery has many pictures on airliners.net. Thanks in advance!

Thank you in advance

Shortcut to access Do228 Overhead Panel

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 12:36:06 +0000

Hello All,

I have just reinstalled my Do228 but apart from going through the 'Views' menu I cant find an easy shortcut/hot key to access the overhead panel.

I managed to solve this issue a long time ago but have forgotten what I must do.

Can anyone help please.

Thanks,

Landing the Dornier 228

Sun, 26 May 2019 17:26:35 +0000

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice about how to set tings up for landing the D228. I start out OK, the plane follows takes off and follows the flightpath but I seem to be doing something wrong in terms of capturing the localiser when I reach the initial fix. Before reaching that, I set up the Localiser frequency in the Garmin and on the radio console and then shift change GPS to Vloc on reaching the FAP. Am I doing this wrong (which I think I must be) and if so what should I be doing? Any help gratefully received.

Thanks, Mark

Pilot's Yoke hiding/disappearing

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 08:40:18 +0000

I didn't fly the Do228 for a while.

Now, after upgrading to P3Dv4.5 HF1 and using the latest installer, the Pilot's yoke doesn't show. When clicking the spots on the yoke's bases on the floor, it shows for a second and then hides again.

I only find "Hide Pilot's Yoke" click spots, no un-hide or show yoke spots.

The right seat yoke is working correctly.

Anybody can confirm the Do228 is working in P3dv4.5 and does not show this problem regularly?

Thanks for any information or hints

The radios in the Dornier don't seem to be working. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Thanks.

Master paintkit

Hi, anyone have a enhanced paintkit with full fuselage template and full tail template? Carenado is very unfriendly with repainters...

FMS and star

Tue, 05 Dec 2017 17:15:51 +0000

Hello,

I tried several times to enter an approach and transition in the FMS, but all the time it seems to add a "go around" more than a star procedure.
All the new waypoints are added after the destination airport, not before.

Any idea ?

Thank you.

Aircraft.cfg

Sun, 25 Nov 2018 10:28:30 +0000

There has been a case lately about adding some lines and figures to [TurbineEngineData] in the aircfaft.cfg file, to make the engine start more like a turboprop aircraft. I have heard that the values have changed the Carenado SF340 to a more realistic turboprop. I have tried to add these lines and values to Do 228 aircraft.cfg,but not with a good result. The throttle act weird, and I think the reason is that the values must be changed for each aircraft. Does anyone have changed values for Do 228?

Just released. Priced as usual for Carenado.

weird issue with elevator trim indicator

Sun, 11 Dec 2016 12:14:41 +0000

Hi,

I noticed in FSX:SE that the elevator trim indicator in the DO228-100 indicates the opposite of what it should do, but only when the pilot instrument lights are switched on. I.e., when I trim up, the indicator indicates trimming down (while the plane actually is trimming up). When the pilot instrument lights are switched off, everything is normal again.

Am I the only one noticing such behaviour?

Best regards,

Henri

Trim Gauges Cross-Eyed ! Why ?

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 17:24:11 +0000

Why hasn't this been fixed, or is it just a Carenado-ism we gave to live with ?

Both Aileron and Rudder trim gauges move the wrong way.

Seriously ?

Yes, posted in General forum also.

Taxi speed issues

Thu, 09 Feb 2017 06:01:20 +0000

Still working through the new purchase kinks but I've definitely noticed an odd issue with taxi speed. Using FSUIPC's (paid version) friction LUA, with zero power I'll immediately begin rolling at 2-8 kts ground speed the moment I release the brakes. Yet if I apply power, I won't increase that speed until north of 35% torque.

I've found that if I have the propeller set to as little power as possible (definitely south of 10%) I can get it under control but it's very mysterious as none of my other turboprop Carenado aircraft do this.

Suggestions? Recommendations? Similar experiences?

Rudder trim switch location

Fri, 21 Oct 2016 15:23:02 +0000

Hi,

Does anyone found the switch for the rudder trim? I found the aileron trim (on pedestal) and elevator one (on yokes), but not the rudder!

OK, I can adjust it with the keyboard; but it could be better with my joystick!!

Is there a better manual anywhere?

Wed, 14 Sep 2016 21:06:44 +0000

I know Carenado has very limited "manuals" which has always been a sore spot with me about them. I bought this excellent aircraft for P3D and am enjoying it but despite a search online for any real manuals I can't find any.

Does anyone know of any?

Also, did they have a warning lights self-test button? I don't think it's modeled so it'll be a surprise if one lights up. Does anyone know of a self test on that lights panel?

And the fast/slow indicator, I have a kinda sorta idea on it's use, it's like an AOA indicator almost?

Thanks.

Jack
