C421 C GOLDEN EAGLE FSX | P3D

Really like this period paint designs on GA aircraft. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134458789967

I know I'll live to regret this, but I've just bought the C421. I must say Alabeo didn't make it easy. 6 goes at using my CC, 2 goes at PayPal and finally, 1 go at my Debit card. To the point: Is anyone still using this aircraft? And does anyone have a REAL paint they would like to see. I'm open to offers. Just don't ask for personal registrations!

Hello there ! Fed up with the magneto bar not functioning properly ? Like, you can't even switch off all the magnetos at once... Proceed as follows : 1/ Please add the following line in the panel.cfg file for the C421, in the [VCockpit04] section gaugexx=GAUGE_C421!Gauge_UPDATE_DIG_GP, 0, 0, 1, 1 where you will replace xx by the number immediately after the last gauge of the section (most probably xx=06) If you are not sure of what you are doing, please keep a backup of your panel.cfg before making any change here. 2/ create a GAUGE_C421 folder in the panel folder for the C421 3/ create a GAUGE_UPDATE_DIG_GP.xml file in…

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get the landing lights to extend and turn on/off with their switch panels. Either lua or macros would be ok. I have both 2 position and 3 positions switches.

First of all i am totaly impressed that Alabeo/Carenado can develop an airplane not only good looking but with above average system deep. Beside the PC12 (with all its mods) the Eagle C421 is now my favorit from A/C. Pros: The sound is amazing and IMO one of the best out of the box. Engine start and panning around the Airplane is such a soundpleasure. I am not a real pilot but with the "advanced physics" by Andi it brings so much fun flying the Golden Eagle. Like i sad, good looking with great system variety. They paid attation to details (taxi light pans, working cabin signs and clock, etc) Contras: No user manual fo…

Has anyone had anything display on the stormscope? It's not displaying lightning strikes for me with ActiveSky as the weather generator or the native weather. Do you guys know of a good radar add-on for the plane that could work, preferably a panel mounted radar?

C421C advanced physics 1. Why I developed the advanced physics version I was asked via this forum, via PMs and also by e-mails to provide a modified version of the Alabeo C421C which can be used for serious multi-engine training. It should have accurate type specific performance for both AEO (all engine operative) and OEI (one engine inoperative), the latter for either a windmilling prop at various speeds and for a feathered engine. Feathering should work as realistic as possible. Thus, I developed an advanced physics version of the Alabeo C421C. It shows realistic physics for negative thrust (prop drives engine). This is necessary for OEI training a…

I am pulling my hair out. I cannot get the 750 to replace the 530 in the panel. Wht am i doing wrong? It keeps showing up behind the 530 bezel. This is in p3d. Please help as i am new to simulators

Have not been able to establish a trim setting for T/O that allows for smooth rotation. Almost impossible to get airbourne without full rear deflection of yoke. Typical takeoff at any weight am still hard on the ground at 120k. Trim set at rear of T/O marks. Don't know if I have corrupted installation or not. What trim setting do some of you use and at what speed do you rotate the 421.

So, I installed Bernt Stoll's FDE on my C421 in FSX-SE. Now she does not like to bleed off speed. Approaches are very tricky. That FDE is optimized for Prepar3d isn't it? Thanks

I love the 421 but the night lighting sucks as the gauge lights are tied to the overheads,I made a few adjustments in FSLSpotlights and it turned out pretty well Default FSL

Dear all, I am aware that there is no official installer for this aircraft for P3D5. So I simply redirected the installer to my P3D5 directory. I can load the plane but have issues with the graphics as shown in the file attached. Some planes I used in P3D4 could simply be used in P3D5 even though they also should not have been compatible so I thought maybe I can also make this one work but it seems I cannot fic those graphic issues. My system runs the new Geforce RTX 3080 as is a relatively new machine. Do you have any advice on how to fix it? Unfortunately I have deleted P3D4 as i wanted to move onto P3D5. Thanks for your time. …

I improved the C421 annunciator panel behavior (as described in the AFM) to make it a little more realistic: The amber cabin altitude light now advises that cabin altitude is above 10,000 feet The amber left and right hydraulic flow light is now lit when the associated engine is off The green air conditioning hydraulic pressure light now advises that the a/c compressor is in operation (a/c switch to cool) The white courtesy light now advises that the overhead flight deck flood light are illuminated (unfortunately together with the panel light) The amber hydraulic pressure light now advises that hydraulic pressure is being applied to the land…

It may be very obvious, but, I've spent some time now trying find some reference somewhere as to how to access the Cold and Dark/ Taxi options in the Alabeo C421 C Golden Eagle. Can someone please enlighten me. Thank you.

Found flight videos in 421 on youtube and this sim is spot on. I installed RXP GTN 750 in mine and it's a pleasure to fly. And the sounds are just great. Sounds of power. Great addon.

Friday night I installed RXP GTN 750 in my Golden Eagle. Since then it won't start using normal cockpit procedures. Propellers spin but engine won't start. I need to use keyboard Cont.-E to start engines. What could have changed? It started nicely using checks before RXP upgrade. Any help would be appreciated. Gary

Hi all, Picked up the Golden Eagle yesterday. Installed fine into P3D v5. But I had a problem when I tried to depart for my first flight. This was pretty much my first ever attempt at flying a light twin, and I'm pretty new to flying prop aircraft in general. So I went though the start up procedure...engines started fine. I then started to taxi and could do so no problem, but I remembered I hadn't checked my flight controls. So I stopped and looked at my ailerons and elevators as I moved my stick and they basically didn't move. I thought ok, maybe they'll respond normally once I'm airborne. But as I took the runway and attempted to take off, it was pretty muc…

I am not a real pilot. Has anyone already tested the "Rafael Ledezma Power Setting Mod" and can tell me if the engine and flight behavior is more realistic? Link to AVSIM Library I think that the engine start (now you have to give a little thrust), the climb rate and the corresponding speed have changed positively. PS: But now I need much more time at the start to accelerate to 100 Kts. The runway in EDHK is almost not enough anymore 😬

I found two issues with the cabin pressurization system. First, it seems to have some autonomous functionality. That is, it will pressurize itself without input from the pilot. Second, when the pressure exceeds the max level (which appears to be near 5.6 psi), it just keeps on climbing without a warning popping up on the annunciator. (The warning light is there...you can see when testing the annunciator). But perhaps that's just me. The Beech C90 GTX seems to have a functioning pressure system so why wouldn't Car-Ala use the same code and make every aircraft pressure system functional. I'll submit a ticket but I'm sure I'll just have to live with it.

My current IAS at FL200 is 159kts | 183mph; 206kts GS Head wind 14kts. Aircraft at MTOW. manifold pressure: 30.2 in Hg | 1703 RPM| Throttle at 77% | Props at 52% | Mixture at 30% Using Bernt’s FDE. Running very smooth but certainly cannot get max cruising speed. How are the results above?

Greetings all, I cannot after many attempts climb any higher after reaching around 11000 feet. The vertical speed levels off because the c421 cannot maintain enough forward momentum as the speed bleeds off. Even after having the throttle at max, it has no affect. AP pitch setting functions intermittently. Can anyone advise how I can fix the issues? I’ve reverted back to my trusty F1 B200 Super King Air for the time being.

I know it sounds kind of stupid, but I wonder what year is "source" aircraft? On eBay and some other sites you can fine various copies of C421C manuals. Typically you can choose a year of make. Hence before investing $30+ I would like to make sure I buy the one I have in my hangar 😉 I know there's one version circulating online but it's poor quality xerox. Cheers, Andrzej

Popped up a few days ago at flightsim.com. Anyone try this out? Or is this one we already have and know about? Also one for the PC-12 but I think Bernt made one available earlier for the Pilatus. I don't want to swap these in and inadvertently lose possible mods e.g. from Bert and others.

How do you calculate the fuel consumption?

Hello,, Just purchased the Alabeo C421 Golden Eagle, and looking to perform the install. Can this aircraft be installed using the newer P3D XML-method (P3D Add-on Aircraft folder), or must it be installed via the more classical method, i.e. directly into the P3D/SimObjects/Airplanes folder?? Thanks for any help you can provide. Mike
