3:08 The Anti-Ice Vanes are indeed inertial separator doors utilized for icing in flight and FOD prevention while on the ground. They are electrically driven through the Engine Anti Ice switch (above your auto feather switch) and your indication will remain that way as long as the switches match that condition. Once off the ground and/or out of icing environment they are usually closed. Normally there is a temperature limit associated with the ice vanes (ours in the B200 is 15C) to be utilized for take off with the vanes extended. Also for engine start, the engine start switch is the starter/ignition when it is moved up. There is no need to turn the Auto Ignition on for engine start as the start switch incorporates that by default. You can tell the health of a battery with how easily it can spin the engine up prior to fuel introduction. A healthy battery usually has no issues (again my experience in a B200) reaching 20% N1 prior to fuel introduction. faster N1 equals cooler start. The rapid ITT rise that you experienced would be cause for close monitoring. You were well below the starting red line temperature limit, but I'm usually weary of starts exceeding the Max Continuous red line temperature. Other than a couple of those things, it looks like a solid and relatively realistic King Air option for Flight Simmers. Thanks for sharing and tailwinds!

Thanks very much for the info Jacob, always good to hear from those in the know! Initially I thought it was very odd, to be taking off with the engine anti-ice on (outside of icing conditions), but I went and did some reading and when I found out it's an inertial separator, it made a lot more sense. I did wonder about the auto-ignition. I noticed that wasn't a step followed by a few others and indeed the start switch does say starter / ignition. The checklist I was using calls for that procedure, but clearly it is in error (it's not a real-world checklist). . . You'd know more than me haha, but yes, it seems to be a very solid rendition of the King Air overall (at least in terms of its systems) and is certainly a very enjoyable addon. Thank again and all the best! : )

Still an awesome plane to fly, for me it's the perfect spot between the slow props and glass cockpit jets. It's always fun to keep an eye on the engine gauges, cabin temp and navigation. Jets are so much automated I always fall asleep, but in this model there's always something to do and look at.

This may sound a little weird. The king Air's instrument panel is actually beautiful in an industrial design sense. A very clean and elegant design in its simplicity. The ergonomic "flow" for scanning the instruments seems logical and natural. A big thank you for simulating the starboard engine fire. It's wonderful that you are simulating a casualty and casualty control procedures. It educates people about what happens behind the scenes and how casualties are delt with. It pulls the curtains back for people who just don't and gives them a new appreciation of how things really work. A very beautiful airplane. Thank you.

Hi Unclealig, Comparing the Black Square King Air, with the Carenado PC-12, it is really rather night and day. The PC-12 wins in the looks department, but the Black Square 350i has the PC-12 beat in every other department (and by a significant margin). Regarding the SWS PC-12, I've no doubt it will be better than Carenado's version, though systems depth will probably be lacking as compared with the King Air. SWS make some brilliant addons; I gather they will be making 2 versions of the PC-12 and if I'm not wrong, one will have steam gauges, the other a glass cockpit. I hope that helps a little. All the best! : )

Excellent review of the plane! Definitely on my list. I love the pragmatic and checklist-oriented approach to the video. The standardised approach really helps those new to the aircraft to learn the basic procedures and enjoy the aircraft more! I will be using your videos definitely, when I have the KA pack added! One thing I did notice: changing from high idle to low idle in flight should have zero effect on anything. It only changes the N1 at idle power lever settings, and is used on the ground to allow the use of air conditioning on the ground on hot days, or for cross-engine starting, as you demonstrated. It also is used on short-field landings to reduce the spool up times when requiring full reverse (going from ~70% instead of ~60%). If anything, high idle in the air might cause problems slowing a little on descent, as the engine has quite some power at 70% N1, even at idle (check out how the KAs taxi at high idle out of beta range!)

I can definitely recommend the Black Square King Air, it’s still my favourite of their addons to date and one of the most enjoyable aircraft within the sim (there is also a separate sound pack available for the King Air, which I keep meaning to try). Give the number of addons I review and the free time I have available, unfortunately I can’t always fill in all the gaps in my knowledge and so tend to stick pretty religiously to whichever checklist I am using at the time. Here, I was using an X-Plane checklist, which I subsequently found out does have some inaccuracies, but if the checklist says put the condition levers forward, I put the condition levers forward haha (same for the landing lights and that’s also a force-of-habit from the real world, where on the aircraft I fly, the landing lights are not dependant on the gear position). The condition levers are an interesting one though; I’ve had multiple different opinions, from multiple different King Air pilots (so I wonder if the procedure is not operator specific?). Thanks very much for the feedback! Much appreciated and all the best : )

Really been looking forward to this for my longer trips in FS. Being an 'old school' ex flight engineer on the P-3 Orion I can't stand glass cockpits - am all about the needles lol.

Also just FYI - first step in an emergency such as engine fire - Cancel Warning Horn! :) A. So it does not add unnecessary noise/stress/annoyance while dealing with the emergency, communicating with crew on flight deck etc. and B. This enables the alarm system to now be available again if you have another emergency!

I would like to take the time to learn the KNS-80 also, but there's always another addon to be reviewed ha. Completely agree re cancelling the warning / caution. It was probably an error on my part, but as best I could tell, the only way to cancel the fire bell on the King Air, was to fire off the extinguisher (which was the last item on the checklist) - the Master Warning pb seemed to have no effect there?

Myself and I'm sure many others, certainly wouldn't mind some quality retro liveries though! Cheers and all the best : )

The reason for your pitch up when you put reverse thrust in was because the nose wheel wasn't planted, so it tried to push you around the axis of the main wheel axels. On touch down you should have the nose wheel firmly planted with forward yoke to keep it on the deck.

@BrunoChavesS

Жыл бұрын

Idk if that’s what happens with the bigger brothers, but on the C90 and B200 that I’ve been flying for a decent period of time I actually have to put full yoke back after landing to counteract the aircraft tendency to nose down after applying ground fine/reverse. At touchdown, even if you just apply ground fine with the nose wheel in air, the tendency for it to get on the ground firmly is there.

@Scarebus_Driver

Жыл бұрын

Sorry but you need to learn about how real aircraft fly. No turboprop ever flown when engaging reverse pitches up thats a characteristic of spoiler deployment on jets. When engaging reverse you get an immediate reduction of lift causing a pitch down, combined with the drag increase a large pitch down is caused on every King Air landing. Similarly long flares are unheard of if your on speed as discing props create huge drag getting an almost immediate touchdown. Asobo still have work to fix the Fsx standard flight model.

What has been previously answered is totally correct.On the ground, power levers at or below Ground Idle put the propellers in minimum pitch angle, called GLSP (Groun Low Stop Pitch) thus generating a great amount of drag.This will keep the nose gear firmly on the ground. So the pitch up moment seen in the video is not correct. Would be nice that the developer find a way to fix it:-)

The product manual has a lot of good info but, from memory, you use the rotary selector on the centre pedestal to set the desired cruise altitude and this will also set a corresponding cabin altitude. You then just need to make sure the bleeds are selected on, as per the checklist (and the system will take care of the rest). I hope that helps a little. All the best! : )

Hi Ronnie, I have a button assigned to "Decrease Throttle Position" (if memory serves me correctly).

A few things, although I am sure you already are familiar with these as the video was uploaded 5 months ago. No need for the Auto Ignition step upon engine start/You'd normally leave the CL in High Idle for the entire duration of the flight. The IAS mode does work - 170 Knots is a good climb speed if you don't wanna climb too high, otherwise 160 above FL100 is and maybe 150 above FL150 or FL200 will get you to the high twenties within 15 minutes. You can also follow the published climb speeds and then CLB mode selects speeds based on different altitude blocks. Your climb performance was very weak due to the incorrect CL setting. Great video though!

You should never have to ride the brakes. Just keep adjusting the power levers in beta to taxi and a bit of reverse to stop. I also think that you should keep the condition levers in ground idle other than to startup the other engine.

People also forget you actually have thrust out of the exhaust of a turbine directed backwards that helps increase that taxi speed. We actually had to taxi the P-3 Orion in reverse thrust the whole time to try and keep the speed down as each engine put out 700lbs of direct thrust from the exhaust! Made keeping the oil cool a bit tricky even with the inducers as the coolers didn't have enough airflow, so sometimes had to drop 1+4 into fwd thrust and keep 2&3 in reverse, and alternate as required lol.

Hi Gravity, It’s not just you; indeed, MSFS does still have a number of areas where the flight modelling could generally be improved, ground effect being one of them. Some addons are better than others of course, but most aircraft do tend to float quite a bit. I’ve kind of gotten used to it at this point and tend to account for it, but that can mean cutting the thrust very early during final approach. All that being said, the King Air is particularly floaty haha (although I think Black Square may now have addressed this behaviour, at least to some degree). Cheers and all the best : )

At 38:00 itr would have been useful to show us this in the beginning and HOW to change the setups....

Is there a a319 ceo review coming please. 😎

Hello Dyeahna, Ahh, I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you down again haha. I wasn't planning on covering the 319; as it makes of the default Airbus cockpit, I figure people will already broadly know what they are getting and one can simply looks at pics / vids to assess the quality of the external model. In an ideal world, I wouldn't mind taking a look, but unfortunately I just don't have the time to cover everything that is released these days. Apologies on that. All the best! : )

Fantastic aircraft in real life, but then again any aircraft built by Beechcraft is great! I’m a big fan… one question, are you getting nav data updates in that payware GPS?

The TDS GTNXI in this video uses the Garmin Trainer software which has outdated Navdata. I believe they update the trainer's navdata once or twice a year.

Hello sir! I'll bet; the King Air (and indeed most Beechcraft designs) just looks like it was made to fly! The TDS doesn't really have a decent method of updating the nav database unfortunately (I gather it can be done, but at significant cost to the user). As Kengou points out, the product uses all the same software / nav data as the Garmin training tool, so it's pretty accurate in its operation / fidelity, but alas rather out of date as a result. The PMS GTN750 is almost the complete opposite; nav data can be updated and indeed the unit has more functionality (Navigraph integration for example), but unfortunately (in my opinion at least), it rather feels like an MSFS GTN. I did actually review the TDS GTNXi, if that's of any help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4CZvK-Ej5rVgNo.html I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )

Thanks for offering up the info Kengou, much appreciated! : )

Terrific aircraft and scenery but I am disappointed that a more realistic aircraft registration is not used. This is a minor issue but, IMO, distracts from the realism that MS2020 is trying to convey.

Cheers Amazer, the Analogue King Air is indeed and excellent product and NZ is indeed a stunning part of the world! Yes, it’s a shame about the aircraft’s registration. The paint schemes that come with the addon, make use of the default Asobo reg, but unlike the default aircraft, the registration can’t be changed (I’m not sure why). 3rd party repaints should help somewhat, but it would be nice to be able to change the registration nevertheless. . . All the best : )

WHen is it coming out?

Hi TB500, The Analogue King Air should be released within the next few days, but as I mentioned in the video, that may be postponed slightly, if SU10 introduces any bugs into the product. I hope that helps. All the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations oh yes I am! Also very happy seeing the dev is on top of things and releasing improvements here and there. The only thing I'm missing is a better soundpack for the engines. Both interior and exterior. The rest is awesome!

I actually just signed up to FTSim’s Patreon myself. They produce custom soundpacks for various addons; I gather the King Air (both default and Black Square versions) is supported, though I haven’t tried that soundset myself yet (but people seem to speak highly of it). The lowest Patreon is £2 a month and you can subscribe, download as many soundpacks as you like and then cancel (should you so wish), so it’s worth a punt if you aren’t happy with the current King Air sounds. Just a suggestion anyway, I don’t have any affiliation with FTSim etc ; ) Happy flying! : )

Yes, it works absolutely fine with the Steam version (that’s what I’m running also). For what it’s worth, I think every addon should work with both the Steam version or the MS store version. Thanks very much for the kind words, I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the content! : )

That autopilot didn’t work for me either
