Video

How does a video this long have no timestamped chapters?

How do you set a selected altitude for the plane to cruise at?

torque is in lb-ft is it not, mate?

How is the FLIGHT MODEL, and. AVIONICS!!! ? Hmmm.

Fantastic review! The STOL capabilities of the SC.7 Skyvan are impressive, and flying in the Caribbean looks absolutely breathtaking. MSFS never ceases to amaze with its realism!

I got the bundle yesterday. If I would have known how inferior the the flight model is to the Cessna 414, I would have definitely not have purchased it.

Very good aircraft STOLL is IT PZL M-28 Bryza ❤

Using the Skyvan in Onair Company for cargo. The reverse thrust seems kinda op. you're totally right about the fast loss of airspeed and altitude. takes a min to get used to.

I wonder how long it will take for DCS & MFS & Xplane to implement Ai into the carriers and flight models. Where you have a fully active and interactive carriers & airports where ground crew and other aircraft fully move as the player does.

The Dash 7 isn’t as good as I hoped especially with the lack of documentation. If you don’t have the ATR get that instead there are videos for the ATR from real ATR pilots.

Great video and the P47 has been one of my favourite WW2 for years since IL-2 1946.

Are we nearly there ? ? ? ? ? . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

to answer you weird feeling: full reverse after shutdown is used to keep the prop on the start locks and not have them feathered and hence the need to unfeather before the next startup.

Great video..thanks fr sharing...

Top tier definetly Black Square Turbine Duke and Piston Duke now that it's released!!

Awesome review. Great Video! thank you so much

what are your color settings man , also dope video really enjoyed it

That cockpit looks so much better than the Blackbox Sim Shorts 360 / Sherpa ones. I will wish Blackbox would hire someone who can deliver quality like that instead of going with the cartoon look.

Love flying the Skyvan in MSFS-did a short hop between Wellington and Palmerston North.

I hate flying IRL but would feel so much better if every time I flew somewhere I had a pilot that was this confident in their announcements. Most pilots on my recent flights have sounded half asleep or talk so quietly you can't hear anything that is being said over the intercom.

Now you can fly a Skyvan virtually in MSFS. As always, this video from Into the Blue Simulations is not lacking in perfection. And visually it is perhaps one of his most beautiful. The Short SC.7 Skyvan is a British 19-seat twin-turboprop aircraft manufactured by Short Brothers of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is used mainly for short-haul freight and skydiving. The Short 330 and Short 360 are stretched models of the original SC.7, designed as regional airliners. Skyvans served widely in both military and civilian operations, and the type remained in service in 2009 with a number of civilian operators, and in military service in Guyana and Oman. During the depths of Argentina's period of state terrorism 1977, around 4,400 prisoners were thrown into the Río de la Plata on "death flights" using this type of aircraft. Though such “death flights” by which thousands perished were routine during Argentina’s 1976-83 military dictatorship, many of their details remain unknown

That was fun! Nice to see an aircraft that isn't buried in system complexity. A worthy machine at a friendly, give it a try price.

You can really see the Lineage of the Shorts Boxy liners. The layout of the switches and panels is so much like those of the S 330 and 360. I rather like this add on, and it is neat having the spiritual predecessor of the Shorts regional (boxy) liners. I start this in the start position with the power lever closed, and have had no issues. They have modeled the Garett Air Research engines and sounds quite well, though the ungodly howl of those engines is lacking (perhaps thankfully). For taxi the condition levers in Taxi help stop this model running away. Oh, reverse thrust is fun for backing away from the stand. I like the mismatched torque gauges. On the ceiling there are all sorts of performance charts with torque settings, and EGTs, this is how the actual aircraft is done too. The skyvan is capable of landing on a field of 1800ft fully loaded. The shut down sounds sounds so much like the shut down of the Garett Air Research engines. This model has a bit of a twitchy on the pitch, but being so short that may be how the real thing is. I like the system fidelity as well. I do wish there was more of a checklist.

Beautiful rendition of an ugly aircraft...

That would make a nice RV with all the rugged comforts of home.

This a spot on video but I no longer wil get any more products cause of 2024 comming out and no won't be buying that product for at least a year and Ill fly what I have now , otherwise it does look good. Blimey I have at least 30 aeroplanes and widdled it down to my top 12 and misc 4 and another 4 for sometime so think I'm good

Wow. This is proof that it doesn't matter how ugly your plane is, the proper skin can make it even uglier.

My favourite aircraft when I was a skydiver :-) Looking forward to trying this out in MSFS. I still miss jumping from G-OVAN at Sibson!

I'll definitely pick this up later when I get off from work. Thanks for another great review!

❤ well done mein Herr 😂

Not bad for $10. I wish the manual gave a little more info on some of the 3-position switches such as the inverters and master electrical. The checklists don't really clarify when the inverter should use the normal or transfer position. Great flight and review as always.

It's an ATPL career high Mr. Walsh, flying a cartoon fish in the Caribbean on holiday wearing just my shorts and a straw hat. It's a lot more fun than a Boing, Boing, Bong.

I've been asking them for a Piper Aerostar since the game came out and instead they give us this flying lunch box. I mean, it's only the fastest piston twin in the world; can't imagine why any pilot would want to fly that.🙄 Anyhow thanks for the review, here's you're well-deserved like! 👍

The Pink Skyvans visit our home airport (with a small 430m Runway) for a skydiving event. I love that plane, the sound is very unique. Sadly this isn’t in the sim version, but it might very well be the different propeller. Overall I’m happy with the Ini version from what I’ve seen so far (I couldn’t try it yet) and I’ll get it. The only thing that bothers me is the gps selection, I’d love that thing with either a 430 or a 750.

In white, a flying fridge, I'll give it a go. Thanks

I dare you to take the Cessna 310R to St. Barth. Not a forgiving airplane when slow, nor one which brakes can work out any kind of magic... most of my attempts ended up either in the air or in the water 😅

Well done. I appreciate your thorough reviews. Your departure was reminiscent of Doolittle's B-25's lumbering off the deck of Yorktown. And those passengers wearing parachutes. Surely a prudent precaution in case something went terribly awry....wait!...what's that?!.....Oh Dear God, they're not planning to jump out of a perfectly good airplane??

Only found this video now and bloody hell does it look good. I definitely wasn’t searching for videos specifically based on the Ansett livery ;) also was a bit of a shock seeing kalgoorlie, a place ive spent a decent amount of time in. The sounds on this module sound bloody awesome, especially in the back. Gave me PTSD of having to fly in one of these from Curtin (derby) to Perth. Longest flight of my LIFE. I definitely suggest flying to YBRM, the colours are so vibrant and its absolutely gorgeous. Orbx does a scenery for it as far as i know. Not certain as im on XP12.

This is one of the coolest among local legends IMHO!

So cute! Nice pick of landing airport, I struggle with good landings there. Fond memories of Skyvan. We had service and handling of Air Executive Skyvan. Fun to watch pax when they realized the aircraft they should fly with. - A woman assumed this was the bus out to the real aircraft, she panicked when engines started up. She ran out, almost hit the propeller. Then ran back to get the coat she forgot. Again very close to the propeller. Lucky a traffic assistant was able to stop her at this point. Impressed with cargo capacity. With exhaust section removed, we shoe horned in a jt8d engine (for B737-200). No purchase for me, flying the Dukes package now. And it is very similar to both Tecnam I own

Former IX & 12 Sqn plumber (armourer) This warms the cockles of my somewhat ancient heart. Tonka's rule. "Tail supported" 😉

Appreciate the video. In my view, the overall take away is, you get what you pay for. No thrills get you from point A to point B. For me, I'll do a hard pass. I am not high on inbuilds aircraft. They are very shallow add-ons. I bought the MU2, which is one of my favorite aircraft of all time, and tried to work with it. But sadly, my biggest gripe is not having a GTN 750 or 650 for aircraft Navigation. And because of that, I don't fly it anymore. You start to ask yourself, why am I flying this? When there are far better and more robust products out there to fly. Granted, it was only $9.99 at the time. But that's inbuilds for you. You get what you pay for. I'm one of those desktop aviators that if you give me a High fidelity product that it costs $80 or so, I'm cool with that. Or at least an additional DLC to enhance the product to make it a more robust Add on. These addon developers just haven't figured it out. Anyway, I can rant on and on. Cheers to you, Sir. Again, great video, as always. Looking forward one day seeing your videos over on Rumble. Cheers

Instantly this has become my favourite aircraft in the game. Handling can be challenging, it flies like it looks and theres enough system depth to make it very immersive, without having to spend 40 minutes on the runway prepping. Flying with a full load in wet weather really felt like I was there. I'll be putting many hours into this.

Another excellent, entertaining, and comprehensive review. You have set yourself apart as THE go-to for aircraft reviews, in my humble opinion.

GREAT flight Captain. Really liked the Carribean fly over. That plane is a Chinook with wings, what a beast. Looks like this plane is a distant cousin of the Kodiak. Thanks for the Island Vibe! !! !!!

That livery is hard te resist.

Great review as always! My first (and only) flight in a skyvan was when I went for my very first skydive! One suggestion, the replays could be from an angle as you'd see standing on the ground or as if a camera was fixed to the aircraft? That would be interesting to see :)

Thank you for another informative presentation... Thoroughly enjoyable...I'm enjoying the Black Box equivalent versions at present... Roger.. Pembrokeshire

For $10 it seems decent enough, not quite the same level as its bigger brother in the 340/360 though. What does the tablet do on the left? It looks like the Inibuilds tablet, so some sort of customisation to the cockpit/cabin? Sounds seem a bit weak at points, checklist sounds unfinished. The window tint seems a little aggressive, but could be accurate?

Im really enjoying the Skyvan 😁 espacially the Skydive variant with the Pink Aviation Services liveries 🥰
