You could use other airports. But, I'll delete my factories this week some time and you can just copy my plan. I need to find some time to plan a new series anyway.

That's too cool. My real-world starter airport was decommissioned a while back, but it is awesome that I lit up someone's history. I didn't pick it. It was a route my company was given by OnAir Company. It's a companion app where you build up a company using cargo/pax orders from the sim.

@@barleyflies Thanks!

Same.

That's true. I have multiple tannery factories at PANC and PAFA. But, hunting camps have to be 5 nm apart or they suffer a production penalty.

@@barleyflies Double checked today, i think its a recent update but you can have multiple hunting factories, each with 9 hunting camps a piece, at your basecamps without penalty. Which will help with logistics. They keep adding features without updating the encyclopedia.

I use a combination of Sim Voice Assistant and Spad.next. This playthrough is restricted to turboprops only so I haven't set anything up for the jetliners, but it should work.

It's hard. Hope you made it!

A combination of Spad.Next and Sim Voice Assist. They take a ton of time to get working right, but it is worth the effort if you want a multi-crew experience.

I'll see if I can put something together. I have a videos on basecamps, factories and expansion, but they are all separate. I'll try to pull them together into a single tutorial. Thanks for the comment.

Heh, yup! Thanks for the comment and watching!

Glad they are helpful. Thanks for watching!

So I know that the maximum duty day is 14 hours but you're charged a fee for any crew that flys more than 9 hours. You're saying that the fee is worth the extra hours your pilots are flying?

Thanks so much! And thanks for watching. I have a new subchapter in the story that includes an atypical aircraft being added to the fleet. Should be up in about an hour or so.

Certain settings hit the CPU harder and others hit the GPU harder. I want to get the best graphics I can so I want the CPU and GPU working as hard as they can to produce the best images/gameplay. The quickest ways to hit them hard is: Level of Detail sliders hit CPU, resolution hits GPU.

@@barleyflies thank you sir

Thank you my friend. It wasn't discipline, it was trial and error with a penchant for failure! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I recorded this video several months ago so I'm not sure how it was set up. I run data settings with online functionality, bing data world graphics, and photogrammetry all on. Maybe the MS server had an issue the day I recorded this video. Too long ago to remember.

Yup. Was trying to flare at 20 with a much more drastic decent rate than I'm used to all while lining up at the last minute. Haven't practiced that approach at all so... meh. That's why that's one of the most challenging approaches. There is no "stabilized" on that or the RNAV 15 ... which, I'll have to run at some point. Thanks for watching, and the comment!

SimVoiceAssist, SPAD. next ant MS ATC (which will try to kill you).

I've never liked it much either on videos where someone has used it, but wanted to hear from the community. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm using a combination of SimVoiceAssist and SPAD.next.

@@barleyflies Thanks for the reply.

Hmm, not sure. I have throttle 2 axis mapped to Joy L-Axix X, Throttle 1 to Joy L-Axis Y, neither reverse axis box checked. Then under propeller, I have Toggle Feather switch 2 as button 27, toggle feather switch 1 to button 26, propeller axis to Joy R-Axis Y and Z for prop 2 and 1 respectively. Make sure you don't have anything else mapped in MSFS for power management especially throttle increase or decrease. Let SPAD handle that.

It is an amazing plane and my favorite to fly to this day. I like hand flying on departure to get a feel for that plane so I can detect issues faster. But some days I just punch AP as soon as I can because I feel like it. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

SimVoiceAssistant. It's on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1905000/SimVoiceAssistant/

@@barleyflies Thanks looks good but I just cannot get it to detect my voice via my Reverb G2 headset. I take it you created the checklists for the ATR.

@@DavidBrown-tl3ft Yes. I used the FCOM and Magnar Nodal's videos to construct a reasonable approximation of how a flight crew might communicate at various phases. It is a work in progress. I don't know why it wouldn't detect your voice. I use a USB mic and it hears it 99'ish% of the time.

@@barleyflies Thanks, got it working now just have to have voice recognition running. How do you get the app to get the co pilot to interact with ATC?

@@DavidBrown-tl3ft That's just an MSFS Ai Assist option for ATC radio.

ROFL.. I didn't catch that ... I had to go back and rewatch the video. But, yeah... you're right. Spooky!

Yes. It does fuel, date/time, and payload in the Black Square 208b

@@barleyflies cool

When you pull the throttles back into the reverse area, does SPAD show both button 24 and 25 lit up?

@@barleyflies yes

@@fishgoblue8763 Make sure that you have nothing mapped to any throttle or reverse functions in the MSFS control options. If that's done, then check in the data monitor to make sure that that whatever local variable you made is getting set to -1 when you have the levers in reverse, and then to 1 and then 0 when you come out of reverse.

@@barleyflies My bravo profile in MSFS is blank. And I set the the reverses just like what you have shown in your video. I am very new to spad.nxt and I am a computer novice.

The only other thing I can think of is if you have a different throttle setup in the ATR than I do. I don't have a way to share an image in a reply, but on the EFB, under options, throttle setup, in the top section I have only "dual axis" checked. In the throttle position section, I have idle set to where the throttles are resting on the idle detente on the bravo. Hope this helps.

I did some testing and it looks like the most reliable way to get 70% reverse thrust is to add "THROTTLE_70" after the "THROTTLE_FULL" event.

@@barleyflies ok thanks for that. I'll try it too. Just tried it then. I actually replaced the Throttle_full with Throttle_70 and I get a much more realistic stopping effect. Only wish the sound matched the props going into Beta now.....The Majestic DHC8 had superb sound for P3D, and they're putting one out for MSFS so I think that will be good. Have you played around with the sound for this at all?

@@transair27 I haven't messed with trying to edit sounds. Just getting good SPAD.next configurations working for this plane is hard enough.

@@barleyflies ah fair enough. Thanks

It is a lot of fun with some unique challenges (at least in the Spring). Lots of mist/haze, so IMC even when no weather disturbances are present. The area is beautiful to fly over, through, and into. Really enjoying this route. Thank you for the comment and watching/following what I'm flying!

Absolutely amazing. Black square did a superb job, I know, I have 4 of their aircraft. The analog Caravan is super fun to fly, failures are built in if you want them. The systems are modeled at a near study level. Short field ops in the 208 are a blast. Worth every dollar!

Hard to be the rumble of a beefy piston twin and Flysimware did an amazing job on this plane. You'll be seeing more of it as I'll use it for weekend trips to interesting places. Thanks for watching and taking time to reach out!

The times and places VATSIM controllers are available haven't matched my flight plans lately. I've done it before and might look into it doing it again. VAtSiIM is amazing, just restrictive due to controller availability.

Microsoft's built-in ATC. The co-pilot is enabled by turning on "AI Radio Communications" under the "FLight Assistant" options. Thank you for the question and please let me know if you need more information.

I didn't know that about the airport diagram. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!

Not at the moment, but once they add in the industry stuff on April 25th, they might be. I won't know until I've spreadsheeted them to death. And you know I will.
