I found your channel a few days ago and it was the spraying the crops with helicopter one and i just want to say, your video is really fun, relaxing and kinda therapeutic in a way to watch Keep up man, i love your videos

[@CowTown]

I appreciate it thank you 🙂

[@UnB135]

Bro is the best KZbinr out there keep it up

[@CowTown]

Thank you 🙂

[@kevenmercier6380]

It's not a bug actually i think, with this plane you never whant to go in the red (puting full throttle) because the temperature goes in the red and the engine are cooking but to take off you without that much power you need more distance and fully filling the tank so in other mission every time i need to go to much larger lake then what the mission recomand to scoop and i manage to do them without skiping and cook the engine buth i always finish with 0% on the execution part. These mission are clearly the most hard to do so far but anyway almost none are spawning in the world so its impossible to do a lot of testing

[@dash8brj]

Dash 8's are also tempermental on their engine temps. You flat out the throttle on takke off then as soon as you're airbourne and have the gear up you wind her back from 1050 to 925. rpm. She'll cruise upt to altitude quuite happily at that power setting.

[@dylanhuculak8458]

Google "comma" and "period". They're these really useful things that group words into legible phrases and sentences.

[@CowTown]

It happens regardless of what the power is set to

[@GodWasTaken76]

After a couple firefighter missions and many sky diver drop missions, it feels like a disconnect between the business side and good flying practices. I can fall out of the sky at 10000' directly over the airport, having a landing that irl would require an NTSB report. The operator comes on comms and tells me how much fuel I saved and how awesome I was, and I am pretty sure without the friendly MFS physics round over I broke that plane up mid descent and my flying days are over

[@kevenmercier6380]

@@CowTown next time you try that type of mission watch to make sure both your throttle and rpm stay in the green range and that should prevent the temperature to go in the red and cooking the engine 😉

[@jonmartin8593]

Its been a joy to watch. Ive been playing for about a week now. Your rescue mission was the first one and it helped me a ton. Thank you!

[@CowTown]

Thank you! Awesome to hear it helped and was enjoyable to watch! Starting something new tomorrow with flight Sim that I hope you'll also enjoy! 🙂

[@lawdpleasehelpmeno]

I'm enjoying your daily videos, I'm away for work and can't play so it's nice to see some Flight Sim content.

[@CowTown]

Very nice! Glad you're enjoying the content! 🙂

[@hollywood84660]

My Group 1 and multi engine flight test examiner has been doing this for the last 35 years in Saskatchewan started off doing it in Catalinas. He is a super cool guy

[@CowTown]

Oh that's very awesome!

[@Bear0690]

i can't get this because i was only able to do 5 out of 10 for the initial attack ones and i can't get anymore to show up even after unlocking new places

[@shepardzhao9985]

I think a few missions at the moment are bugged, including a few rescue missions, the engine will cut off randomly

[@HarrisonBrennan-r1r]

Should be a lot in Australia

[@dustincriddle]

I noticed when u skip your throttle not always set properly u have to re throttle on the hotas to read correctly when i play anyways

[@jaymac7203]

Having to fight the bugs as well as the fire is so frustrating 😭😭 Hopefully its fixed soon lol

[@CowTown]

Lol was crazy!

[@DB-lm1nj]

Do you use any flaps to help with lift out of the water?

[@CowTown]

Didn't use flaps since I was already way over what speed I needed to go so had enough to lift off, if I went too slow on the water you'd be stuck in it

[@Harry-n9o3r]

Did you know that their is a Boeing 747 Firefighter. It is the biggest in the world!!!

[@CowTown]

Yup can't use it in missions just yet but in a future update!

[@homgrwn]

Holy Cow, that was crazy ...😂! Do a video on tips and shortcuts, like the key bindings.

[@AMironman1985]

Great work here mate! Love your videos! Subscribed too! One note.. you do know you have flaps right?? I mean your life will probably get a lot easier when scooping..

[@CowTown]

I know but I was already doing the scooping unrealistically with way more speed so wasn't worried about flaps

[@AMironman1985]

@@CowTown you went rogue but I see your point! Great videos mate! Keep it up!

[@randuxy]

I think the engine malfunction might be from over torquing the engines, Turoprop's have a lot of perimeters you have to manage.

[@CowTown]

Except that it happens no matter what the throttle is set to lol

[@randuxy]

@@CowTown - At your first scoop you had the "ITT" in the "Red". you can see it at time stamp 7:18 before you get the engine malfunction.

[@dafox0427]

approach down the canyon, fill with water and exfi over the dam. Avoid flying into dead end canyons where you havent enough power or airspeed to escape from. Then, you'll stop committing the mistake that has cost many real pilots their lives.

[@aeraxe]

i wish i could do that but i have all the certification and an S tier reputation but the small firefighting doesn't show up

[@TheFlyingSheep69]

Is there a chance that you were cooking the engine or something like that?

[@CowTown]

It happens no matter what power you have set for the engine.

[@TheFlyingSheep69]

@CowTown ah that's really annoying.

[@VietnamT0M]

When you went back to cockpit view after the popup, you can see that the temps are well into the red. So the engines were indeed being cooked. Whether the temp getting that high was a bug or not, I'm not sure, but I didn't see you adjust prop rpm or mixture or anything

[@justinhanley8512]

If u head along the mountain side to scoop the water then u will not have to worrie about not making out

[@DB-lm1nj]

My other thought is can you approach the lake from the opposite direction and egress over the dam instead of trying to climb over the hills

[@69adrummer]

sad to see that whomever programmed this sim is not a pilot or has ever fought wildfire!! haha

[@tim8801]

I have had the issue with the engine bugging out too. In the cargo light missions as an employee I had trouble with the turbo prop tail dragger and the carbureted tail dragger. The turbo prop would lose power no matter what rpm and power I gave, same with the carbureted engine. Anyone know if this is a bug or skill issue?

[@CowTown]

If you're using a peripheral for some reason, sometimes the planes just go idle whenever you touch the throttle. I had that going on today so probably not a skill issue. Just a random bug!

[@labhusky3]

Little nit pick. Around the 3 minute mark they called you a bird dog. An attack plane at least in my neck of the woods isn't a bird dog, they're bombers. Bird dogs are the spotters and recon planes that are sent out ahead of the bombers that tend to mark the drop zones. Weird little things in this game that I didn't expect them to get wrong or flop on

[@CowTown]

Pretty sure it's just pulling the wrong dialogue at the moment. It'll all get ironed out 🙂

[@labhusky3]

@CowTown I hope so. It isn't in my budget right now and I'm not sure my rig could run it anyway so by the time I get a new GPU hopefully the game will be silky smooth 😁 Ps: been wondering. Is your screen name based on a certain Canadian city?

[@CowTown]

Awesome hopefully you'll be able to dive in soon! 🙂 But no it isn't haha just a name I switched to awhile back!

[@jld1278]

I thought the same thing, why are you referred to as Bird Dog, that's the spotter! But the radio chatter isn't very good anyway. "Sorry, not sorry" 🙄

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Cool video! Do you do the narration after the flying or are you talking and flying at the same time?

[@CowTown]

All the narration is during the flight! 🙂

[@trent_dyrsmid]

@ I’m amazed at how many views you get! I have more subs than you…but my MSFS vids only get hundreds per video. Whereas my videos about my pilot journey get tens or hundreds of thousands of views. I would have thought that my MSFS vids would do better…so I’m trying to figure out why they aren’t.

What is your internet speed? Data streaming looks very good

[@CowTown]

1 gigabit speed!

ayyyyy 2nd comment

[@justinhanley8512]

Then ur exit will be over the dam

[@SuperTrb0]

You’re cooking the engines man. You are using too much power and are basically flying around at full power and over torquing the engines.
