It does have that, but you don't really need it for anything unless you want
to turn on the aircraft's APU.  The hard part about this aircraft is that
the RPM's need to be at between 800 and 1000 to not cause the engines to
quit when at idle.

Hi,
Do you have the accu-sim add-on or just the aircraft?  What's the trick for
getting things running?
With somethird party aircraft, I've seen where they bring up an inaccessible
fuel and payload window that you need to get through before the aircraft
will do anything.  Does this have that?
Thanks!

Be prepared for a bit of a learning curve with this aircraft.  I finally got
the engines running and kept them running, but after take off, I climbed to
about 700ft at one point, stalled, and did a belly landing in a field.

It works just fine.

I keep meaning to join those flights on Saturdays, but just been too busy.
It's been a long time! How about the accu-sim add-on for the b17?  Does this
impact IYP support?

Hello Jason, 

 

Many IYPers fly the A2A Simulations B17, and yes it is fully supported...
meaning a BVI pilot can fly it. There are however, many checklist items that
you'll simply be saying, "Confirmed", or "Affirmative" that have to do with
the certain items in the cockpit, that IYP cannot control via FSUIPC. For
example...

 

Disengage the aileron lock knob, then say confirmed

 

Please look at the checklists here:

I hope this helps.

 

If you want to talk to the IYP GURU on this aircraft, then come fly with us
on any Saturday and speak with Clive.

Hi,
I was just reading the description of the accu-sim b17 as linked to from the
supported aircraft page.  Oh my god, I want one!  Before I spend almost $60
on this thing, can someone tell me that it works with IYP?  It sounds like
there is a lot of extra stuff on this aircraft that I'm not used to IYP
supporting.
In reading further, it looks like the accu-sim module is separate from the
actual aircraft.  Does IYP work with just the aircraft, or can I use the
add-on accu-sim module as well?
Thanks!
