DO228 100 FSX | P3D

Since the day I purchased the D0 228 iv'e had an issue with the continuous engine loop noise, it's quite distracting and annoying...is there any way to fix this? Thanks, Seehunt

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?

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?

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 Mike

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 Steffmann

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! C…

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!

Hello to the group...i dont know if the topic has been opened before but if it has been answered feel free to delete my post. Is there any chance that carenado could make the -200 version??? Thank you in advance

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, Mike Ody

After download and installation of newest GPN 750 Version into the Carenado DO 228 the NAV/ GPN switch no longer works and GPN 750 Display shows system lock for VOR/LOC use only.

DO228 Landing Gear toggle function inop - Joystick assignment or Keyboard assignment seem not to function

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

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 Ernst

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

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

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.

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? Tor Arild Danielsen

Just released. Priced as usual for Carenado.

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

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.

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?

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!! Regards Alain/for015 :wink: :smile:

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

For the sake of completion, should anybody not know my Do228 repaints:

One of the main military operators of the DO-228 is the Indian Navy using them for maritime patrol duties. Respectfully requesting a repaint from the talented painters that know the Carenado products.
