————————————————————

This airplane is designed to feel like a real commercial turboprop. It takes some practice time to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it provides a satisfying flying experience.

– The engines, like real turboprops, take a few seconds to reach the desired power setting. Handle the throttle with care.

– The props spin at a speed of up to 3000 RPM, any collision when running will likely cause problems with the wing parts.

– Keep the power above 50% in the air, otherwise the plane will stall. Always trim for your current speed (buttons 7 & 8).

– Make sure the power is set to idle before turning off the engines!

Special thanks to the modpack team and DasEtwas for the wing parts, without which this project wouldn’t have been possile.
