Re: For Side: turbo-supercharging fixed on Piper PA23

Hi Lester-- I'm also running the Piper PA-23 but as an Aztec not the Apache. In my research, I concluded that Helijah had inadvertently built the Aztec airframe but powered it as if it were the older Apache. I've done a lot of interior customization of the instrument panel, so it didn't seem appropr...

Re: For Skyboat: Improved supercharging for the DC-5's P&W 1830

Hi Lester, I flew the DC-5 this afternoon and was very pleased with the great improvement in power. I had a KIAS of 191 at 13500 ft, which produced a ground speed of 223 kts! Not bad. Not bad at all. Thanks again for the supercharger code and the other "tweaks" to get the optimum performan...

Re: For Skyboat: Improved supercharging for the DC-5's P&W 1830

Lester-- Thanks very much for sending me the supercharging code for the DC-5 engines. I had wondered why their performance was so anemic. I can use notepad ++. I have had it for many years. However, I am far from fluent in nasal. So please send a set of instructions on how to correctly modify the DC...

Re: Treasure Hunting Tour: 11/25/2023 @1830 UTC [MMCL - MMGL]

Hi Airmen-- I am flying a model you may not have, the Fokker F-27 Friendship. It was licensed in the United States as the Fairchild F-27 Friendship. The model is available from Emmanuel Baranger's (aka Helijah) Hangar. Here is the link to the plane: http://helijah.free.fr/flightgear/tar.gz/f27-11-1...
