A long way from home...

[Wombat_VC]

Journey started from Changi, Singapore. Flew to Surabaya, Indonesia for fuel stop, then onto Broome, Australia. Now, on it's way to Perth.

Sitting in the cockpit, soaking up the Australian golden landscape at FL310. TAS is 360 KIAS thereabout.

Now, I wish the registration starts with 9V. Bob, can you help?

Finally, I can post a pic.

Nice shot and excellent speed for a turboprop:applause:. That Epic looks so sleek:jump:... maybe I'll add it to my shopping list.

One helluva long flight, nice one.

[Lionheart]

I second that. One LONG flight!

I hope your desk has cup receptacles for all your coffee you will need. :d

What is the full N-number you will need and what Sim are you flying in?

Yeah, I can fix it for him Bill, that's the Bill Elliott paint, should have the .psd's around, give me the reg again you need and I'll put it on real quick. :ernae:

[Wombat_VC]

Thank you very much, Bob. :jump: Can I have the reg as "9V-WSY"?

[BananaBob]

Sure thing, doing it now mate. :ernae:

Earlier, I was asking how I could use the 350 gal. optional tank to increase the LT range. I decided to just change the 144 x 2 numbers in the aircraft.cfg fuel section to 175 x 2 without touching the location coordinates. However, this had thrown the Epic off-balance.

Before the mod, she could climb at 2500ft/min under AP control with 75% throttle and cruise at an indicated airspeed of around 240 KIAS, but after the mod, she stalled while attempting the same climb at the same throttle, had a pronouced pitch-up when cruising at FL310 and perhaps because of that, could only do about 160-170 KIAS even at max throttle. :frown: My load was light, just 2 on-board + a bit of luggage.

I have since gone back to the 288 gal. tank and she flies perfectly. :d I may try again but will adjust the location coordinates so that the moments acting on the CG remain the same. However, I have no idea how realistic this would be compared to the real LT.

Should be 360 KTAS, not KIAS. I'm still new to all these. :isadizzy:
