New Pilot Help Please

[EHM-1961 Andrew]

Hi, all,

Just joined today and have to fly the Beech 1900D.  Whats the best way of setting up a flight?  Can I get a FMC for this aircraft the SimpleFMC link doesnt work.  Any help would be great and im available on MSN.

Thanks

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Welcome to EHM.

I cannot speak for others but when I fly the props, I usually combine FS Navigator along with the " Eye of IVAO" (Online)

The link to simple FMC is dead, and not sure where it has gone. You are better to stick to basic navigation if you can IMHO, and home your skills mate

Happy flying

Yes i have been looking for the link for a long time now. I have seen a very old version on www.avsim.com - but none of the recent versions. I think the project unfortunatly may have been dropped.

However Like Stephen said, FSnavigator (www.fsnavigator.com) will be able to supply you with good routes.

Hello,

I personally use FS Nav 4.6 as well as some times vasFMC (www.vas-project.org). Very nice display and very simple to use. It is based on Flight 1 ATR Nav Data, so SID and STARS are available like in any FMC.

Cheers ;-)

Just on my first flight in the B1900 bit scary as used to flying the 737.  One thing i found was taxing it allways pulled to the right plus on takeoff.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Andrew

I don´t know this problem with the right side pulling more than the other.

But if you want to fly the B1900 you can use as the others said FSNavigator I use it too :8 or you can use the standard GPS from FS9 or you can fly from Navaid to Navaid. That means NON RNAV you put in NAV1 the VOR/NDB Frequenvie in and then the Course (can be inbound or outbound) and then you push "NAV" in the Autpilot Panel and you´re flying towards the VOR or NBD. Maybe it´s a little bit difficult at first, but after some time it´s really easy. I personnally like this way of flying very much. As example if you like flying "the old way" Boeng 727 and this stuff then you have to fly like this.

Hope it helped.

First of all,  Welcome!

i know the answer probably, flew online in that B1900 one time in EGBB, i also turned right when i tried to takeoff/taxi. Maybe your throttle on your joystick or yoke controlled only 1 engine on FS, press and hold E+1+2 and it should work fine. (who was ATC that time at EGTM?? taught me that i need to request permission before crossing a runway)

[EHM-1612 Paolo]

Sometimes it happens to me too. But it is not a problem of an engine with more throttle, but I think it is only a problem of FS or maybe of your joystick...It is not a big problem you have only to continue using the joystick for balancing the airplane during take off....It is very exciting and sometime I think is funny ( but not for passengers...:])

Being lighter than the 737 you're used to, the B190 probably has more of a 'weathercocking' tendancy. This is where the plane tries to steer into the wind. Just use the rudder to keep her down the middle.

[EHM-1465 Dominic]

The other possibility is that FS has realism settings in the menu and one of these sets the tendency of any propellor driven aircraft to steer to one side or the other because of the turning forces that the propellor exerts on the aircraft... so you can turn this off if you want from this menu. Or keep it on and practise...
