|
|
I´m flying the FS2004 Baron 58. The throttle of my CH Flightsim Yoke doesn´nt allow to control the taxi speed accurately enough. Does anybody know of a speedcontrol for the Baron 58 while taxiing , without pressing the brakes many...many times ?? Or maybe somebody can help me with building one ?

You dont have to build one. The taxispeed gauge and pushback gauge are available at a couple of places aroung the web. The file names are:
rcbpb-20.zip and rcbts-10.zip
They can be found at Simair 2000 or at http://www.simugold.fsnet.co.uk/ |

Its not the proper way to do things but if you pull the prop back the sensitivity of the power will be much less
Might help |

Download the most recent file rcbgh-32.zip and the update rcbgh32a.zip at avsim.com or flightsim.com, and you get a perfect working add-on for FS2004.
All credits to the develloper Rob Barendregt from The Netherlands !!
Thanks to you all, Henk. |

Another thing you maybe able to try is only run one engine whilst taxiing to the runway. I recall seeing somewhere that some planes such as the (CRJ-900?) taxi to the runway with only one engine (I am aware that this plane is a jet) and they would then power up the second engine at the runway just before take-off. Try that but remember that the plane will automatically be pulled to the side of the engine so alot of work ruddering and pulling the plane to the other side will have to be done.

| That is mostly done on DASH8's and ATR's to safe fuel....it is a very good fuel saving peocedute to feather one of the props....never heard that on the jet engines though. |

I found it odd as well Maxell but I read it in a reference manual so it must be true :lol:, I believe the use it because of the power of the engines when taxiing.
If anyone has any inside knowledge of the CRJ would they please tell us whether they do, do this or not.

My knowledge of 'procedure' is laughable at best...I miraculously find the checklist while on AP and use it to doodle on so I don't get bored...but...I read somewhere that on 747's you start engines 1&4 to taxi, and boot up 2 and...the other one when at hold short...is this true as well?
Cheers,
