JSS C-160 (My take on this new model) [Archive]

StormILM

January 10th, 2017, 20:27

Okay, this will be sort of a quick & dirty review. To be honest when I first heard about the model here on SOH I was a little leery of it at first because as I stated on the previous thread, I recalled the old C-160 model and thought this one might be an upgraded rehash of an elderly model. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is in fact a brand new model and the screen shots and promo video was enough to convince me to take the chance on buying it. That being said, it is a gorgeous model inside and out and the VC has tons of small and precise detail. Some may feel the texturing is the only shortcoming which I would say is average to perhaps better than average but certainly not "baked" high end textures. With the level of detail involved in the VC and exterior, any good texture artist (not knocking the one who did this model) could conceivably create some sharper textures for the VC and exterior. Again, I'm happy with the textures as is but just leaving the door open on tuning suggestions. As far as systems depth, it is AMAZING! It has excellent systems flows and realistic APU and Engine Startup and Systems Management (not that I've ever flown a real C-160 but the flows make sense). The FDE is very nice and predictable but the pitch trim seems a little sensitive and hard to settle into trim which forced me to gently bump the trip switch ever so slightly rather than make an input and hold it a second or two which would throw it way out of trim. The airspeeds and acceleration are slow as this bird does not have the power of Allison T56's on a C-130 or similar aircraft but at cruise it has reasonably good cruise speeds once up and leveled off. Maneuvering handling is good in all speed ranges of flight and landing is a piece of cake. The model is also loaded with tons of nice animations from the various doors and ramps, access panels, etc and there is a 2D popup animations panel. The sounds (both engine, apu, switch & door sounds) are superb. One thing I will warn about, this is a model which is not a "Control+E/Fly Now" model. You have to follow the procedures in the manual or in the tutorial videos to get this bird up and running. Some users might find this to be a nuisance but the procedure flows are pretty easy and can have you up and flying very quickly.

Again, at $26, this model has a lot of value and potential fun & systems depth learning for interested users. A few Screens:

Andrew

As far as I know the Flight1 GTN is not an option at the moment. I also spoke to the developer by email and this is their first project so it is likely some improvements and upgrades may come at some point. I did point out to the Dev that the wing root area below and behind the wing was quite a bit off in shape and they noted that they were going to look into addressing that minor issue. Otherwise, it's still IMHO an excellent model overall.

Great review and I also was not even tracking this one. Spent some time sharing a ramp with these and only remember how loud they are during engine runs, I actually think they are louder than a C-130.

January 12th, 2017, 23:56

On my very first attempt to fly this model on a significant medium range Nav flight, I ran into a couple of issues regarding the de-icing system failing as well as a pressurization system bug which as I crested over 12,000ft + in altitude, multiple alarms were triggered. JSS is aware of the issue as other users have run into it as well and a service pack will soon be available to fix this and other minor bugs.

StormILM

January 15th, 2017, 15:46

Roger, it's an awesome model, especially for the price! The Dev did get the service pack out today which appears to have cured the few minor bugs post release.

For any new users, I want to post a screen shot tutorial of the quirks of the Anti-Ice Systems as well as the Pressurization System. There are already a couple of good tutorial videos regarding the Battery, APU and Engine Start which I won't cover but for post-Engine Start, this how the electrical/generator panel on the overhead should be configured:
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=46310&stc=1

Regarding the Anti-Ice System, except for starting ground pre-flight/post takeoff ops in a cold or icy climate, you can leave much of the Anti-Ice System (except the Pitot and Window Heat) off up until between 10,000 to 12,000 MSL (this varies). At that point, you will get Icing Alarms and you'll need to configure the Anti-Ice System as seen here and also, press in the button I have highlighted with a red circle. That will take care of the Alarms.

January 15th, 2017, 16:08

Okay, the FUN STUFF, the Pressurization System. IMHO, this system as modeled has some bugs still as if you ever get a Pressurization System Alarm, there is no way to silence it and it usually stays hung even if you descend to a safe altitude or land. The Dev is aware of this and I'm sure it will be fixed but in the meantime, here is how to stay out of trouble with the Pressurization System. As a general rule, after you've set the Cabin Altitude for the proper Cruise Altitude Differential, you must climb the cabin within 500ft of your Vertical Speed, in other words, if you're climbing at the average optimum climb profile for the C-160, your climb rate will be 1000ft per minute and your cabin climb should be 500FPM and when you descend, use the same rule. Also regarding the descent, first start your descent before changing the target cabin altitude and then starting to descend the cabin. Just make sure both descent rates are within 500FPM of each other. The screens of how the system should be configured are fairly self-explanatory, first make sure the Pressure Relief Valve is Closed (Switch down and guarded), set the desired Cruise Altitude, then after you get airborne, begin to climb the cabin by rolling the Rate of Climb Control until the Rate of Climb Gauge shows the climb rate being within 500ft of the VSI indicated Climb Rate.

Transall C-160P ASF (Aviation Sans Frontier) F-BUFQ, c/n F47. Ex Air France Postale. Operated for Africa relief in 1991 wearing Aviation Sans Frontier stickers for a short period of time. Written-off in Paris-Orly, struck-off registration on 18.12.91. Broken-up in Orly for parts for Armee de l’Air in December 91.

http://up.picr.de/28178796fj.jpg
This repaint shows Transall C-160P Air Affaires Gabon TR-LWE. The third and last Transall prototype which was sold to Air Affaires Gabon (2AG) as TR-LWE; was seen 1987 in Orléans-Bricy Air Base after its very last flight in order to be taken apart for spares. Has been scrapped later. Please note: On JSS Transall model (SP1a), metall/aluminium reflection shine is not included, so this repaint shows the weathered corossive conditions of the last days of operation.

http://up.picr.de/28178797gr.jpg
This repaint shows Transall C-160D Balar HB-ILN, c/n A03. Balair`s Transall operated for C.I.C.R. (International Commitee of Red Cross, ICRC) from 1968 on relief airlift into Biafra until 1970. Was hit on ground in Uli, Biafra from Nigerian Mig 17. Returned to West German AF as 50+04, but was broken-up, scrapped end 1970. Please note: On JSS Transall model (SP1a), metall/aluminium reflection shine is not included, so repaint shows the last days of operation in a weathered and corrosive look.

Mystery-Bird: Since 2011, there are rumors out, that in Africa a civil registrated C-160 is airworthy. Fact is, that Phib Aviations offered a Transall for wetlease since 2015. It was used 2014/2015 for a mining company in Congo. My investigations around this uniqe bird shows, it was an Indonesian C-160 NG went out for Pelita and later for Mannungal Air. I am quite sure, this is PK-VTS, but no exact informations available.

Anyway, I am working on this nice repaint - it shows at least TR-AAW, a Gabon registrated C-160. Two year later, all informations about this bird are irregular. If you have some informations of this bird, you are more than welcome.

Hope you like them.

Is there a FMC or GTN750 or even a GNS530 mod for this awesome bird. These default 500's are ....:banghead:

Totally agree... the GTN would sit nicely on the pedestal, if an FMC is out of the question...

Hi,

While I was looking for a CN-235 today I saw the the French Air Force site has a few paints for this bird.

http://www.fafzone.fr/

I'm kind of tempted to get it now. It looks a lot (a bit?) like a 235 too.

Cheers,

Sorry Bob, there is no upload possible. I didn´t get permission to publish copyrighted logos or fonts of Lynden.

Anyway, there is my last repaint for now:

It shows civil registered german MBB demonstrator D-AMBA in 1981 paint scheme. Cn: D104. Later in 1981 to German Air Force as 50+67 and was loaned to Indonisian Air Force/Pelita as PK-PTC for relocation (remigration) project. Back to German Air Force as 50+67 in 1982. In service until today.

Okay, I finished yesterday my series of military and civil repaints of JSS Transall with the redo of TR-AAW Phab Aviation Transall. It wears a wrong registration. But now there are fresh news out about this real bird...

http://up.picr.de/28745810wg.jpg
This repaint shows civil Central African registrated Westwind Transall C-160NG TL-AAW in 2015 paint scheme, cn F233. Wilken Group in Kenya Nairobi bought this aircraft in 2015. Operated for group´s subsidiary Westwind Aviations. Aircraft went out for Pelita in 1986 and operated later for Manunggal Air as PK-VTR. Rebuilt to airworthy conditions 2014/2015 at Jakarta-Halim. Perhaps the last civil registrated airworthy Transall. Current status is unclear.

I hope you like my repaints.

New in library. This repaint shows South African Air Force VFW C-160Z 337 in 1999. C/n Z4 build 1969. The South African Air Force operated nine C-160's from 1969 until budget restrictions forced their retirement in 1993. This Transall was preserved and remains on display with the SAAF Museum at Swartkop. The eight remaining airframes were stored at Swartkop until scrapping commenced in late March 2009, having previously been stripped of all valuable components.

Hi, bought this recently and it seems I have some sort of troubles to start up the engines. I follow up the checklist to point that APU is running, but when I set the main start switch on, fuel pumps on -there is no ready light above the start switches. Starter can be heard but there is no life on rpm or egt gauges. Moving condition levers forward does not fire the engine. Only thing I can point out is that I haven´t found the battery 2 switch, can it be electrical?

Hi William.Just go to youtube and search JSS C-160.

Hi William.Just go to youtube and search JSS C-160. Thank You, there I was already. Their own forums seem to be hijacked as they sell there, was it body creams or something like that.

Further investigations point to the fact that this product seems to be abandoned by its producers. I bought mine from PC Aviator and their exe is version 1b as the Flight1 sells version 1 c. Upgrade seems to be impossible and earlier versions had obviously electric bugs.

You can get the upgrade to version 1c by visiting the JSS web site and clicking on the "Service Packs" tab at the top of the page:

Brought me to the correct site. Damn, I needed those drugs.

Wow! The link was connecting to the JSS site yesterday (I tested in the preview).

Admins: you had better take that link down.

I guess the JSS site may be compromised. That's where the upgrade to 1c is, but what you may get if you try to
download now might be anyone's guess.

Strange, when I click on the link above, I reach the scam page.
But if I search for JSS-simulations on google, click on it, then navigate to the service packs from their home page, it works. I don't understand what's going on :/

I also get sent to the Canadian online drug store with that link.

The address still says "http://jss-simulations.com/service-packs/"

All links even from google chrome search results are also sending me to the online drug store.

If I use the link from Flight 1's JSS Simulations page I can get to the proper site. Very strange.

August 21st, 2018, 07:44

I think it's a re-direct cookie or some such that somehow got inserted. That's why I asked the admins to take the link down.

Too long pause between type rating. Any idea why I get compressor 1 & 2 oil warning alarm after 10-15 min after take-off?

Too long pause between type rating. Any idea why I get compressor 1 & 2 oil warning alarm after 10-15 min after take-off? It's been a while since I've "flown" it. If I remember correctly, the compressor oil switches should be in "Auto" for ground use, and "Normal or On" for flight. If the power is reduced too a low setting the compressor oil lights will illuminate. Should not pose a problem during climb or cruise. But you have to plan your descent accordingly so you can keep engine power high enough to keep the lights extinguished. Luckily, the C160 has speed brakes and relatively high flap speeds that can assist in keeping the power up on descent and approach. Hope that helps.
