I love this plane. It’s like a baby c130. Their other aircraft are also very neat as well. The Cm170 is also on par. And the little James Bond jet is a lot of fun to fly.
I love your videos. You are such a huge part of the MSFS community, and make our fantastic hobby much more enjoyable. No guff, no fluff, just concise and direct instructional tutorials. Even for veterans like me. Thanks mate.
Captain, thank you for sharing your professionalism on MSFS 2020, I have learned a great deal from you tutorial videos, especially the PMDG 737 cold and dark start, awesome! Having a real Commercial Pilot share his expertise for flight simmers. I work for an airline in aircraft engineering maintenance, I am the engineer's drafter. Captain, thank you again!
I love this plane so much, easily my favourite in the sim right now, and the update has improved it a ton Although there are a few issues that have come up with the new update like entering radio requencies now puts the frequency in the active channel instead of the standby but the speed at which they came out with the update was incredible EDIT: Btw, the radio heading button works now, it will follow whatever course and navaid you have tuned in NAV1, or the GPS track if there is nothing tuned on NAV1, the GPS/VLOC mode doesn't work, it will always be overidden by anything tuned in NAV1, I've not used the GPS much but in the two flights a did including one 8 hours transatlantic flight it followed the GPS fine
Great progress from the developer and a nice demo as usual. To prevent the engine shutting off bug I allocated a specific key to increase the fuel lever. I no longer have an engine cutout when increasing the levers with my joystick key. The machine you are transporting is a VAB: "Vehicle de l'avant blindé": an armored infantry transport with many variants. This vehicle is being retired and have a second life on Ukraine front. The other, the VBL is "Vehicle Blindé Léger" = light armored car.
Thanks for the translations! If only it wasn't forbidden on VATSIM it might actually be an interesting idea for some missions in the sim to transport them to the border to directly to Kiev (or further).
As a workaround for the condition lever shut off issue I have good success with a "running activation". Meaning: I start with my mouse pointer at some distance from the condition lever, then start moving the pointer towards the condition lever in the direction that I want to move the lever and then I just grab and pull the lever by pressing the mouse button at the right time while the mouse pointer is passing across it in a constant motion. That way I prevent any possible movement in the opposite direction. Seems to work fine for now. Also: the autopilot can already follow a GPS course, even it doesn't show the course on the EHSI. You have to uninstall the market place version of the Working Title 430/530 in the content manager, though. Otherwise the Garmin unit is stuck in GPS mode while still only only following radio navigation.
Regarding the engine 1 shutdown before takeoff, have you tried using the scroll wheel to move the lever forward instead of click and drag? This should prevent the lever from moving slightly backward triggering a shutdown
@@A330Driver the condition levers act really strangely actually, I have them mapped to a control on my HOTAS and whilst I don't get the shutdown bug the animation is very laggy when you do an input and the sound of the detents doesnt seem to match with where they should be? It works though and you don't really touch it once you are off the ground so ehh
The 430 was a perfect addition until full FMC implementation. Calculating and executing TOD is enough work without getting trigonometry involved 🤣. However the C-160 is pretty forgiving about poor approach setups - if you haven’t tried the Sarajevo approach yet, I highly recommend it - easy on the nose gear!
I import flight plans to MSFS from Littlenavmaps and the 430 finds them no problem. Then if you select NAV2 course selector it will follow the flight plan no problems at all. It also captures the LOC and GS but I found it oscillates back and forth too much so I just hand fly it. With auto pilot you can turn it on and off quickly and then back on straight away it seems to behave a little better. I found that pressing the Alt hold button reset the preselect Alt in the FMC, so I just re enter it and all good.
Apparently you can shoot flares and open the cargo door in flight similar to how it would happen if paratroopers were on board. It would be nice if they had some of those features to the aircraft itself like how the Pmdg BBJ has the option in fms the Escalades pull up on the tarmac
Das wäre echt klasse! Aber ich fürchte ein wirklich guter A400M wird wohl nie kommen. Der ist ja genauso komplex wie die zivilen Airbusse, aber mit viel weniger Piloten, die drüber sprechen dürfen, und viel weniger frei verfügbaren Daten. Mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass es viel weniger potenzielle Kunden gäbe, weshalb der Preis ins unendliche schießen würde.
@@A330Driver Das denke ich auch. Das Flugzeug an sich ist auch deutlich komplexer als der A320. Bei der Luftwaffe fallen über 70% durch das Type Rating!
@@A330Driver Leider habe ich keinen Link, arbeite aber bei der Luftwaffe und bin angehender Kampfpilot. Habe das mit dem Type Rating aus Wunstorf gehört.
@@dirtfahrer1 Okay, dann muss ich's so glauben :D Die Zahl hat mich einfach sehr überrascht, in der zivilen Luftfahrt ist es weitestgehend ungehört, dass irgendjemand durch's Type Rating fällt. Durch Durchfallquote ist praktisch null. Wenn dann 70% bei der Luftwaffe durchfallen, schockt mich das echt.
i noticed when using the 750 panel, if i enable the 4/530, i get oscillation similar to the dc-6; i also get this in appr mode in either configuration.
First of all, thanks so much for sharing your expertise with all of us! It’s truly appreciated. I do have a question for you about the 8K texture pack you mentioned. I have downloaded it but not sure how to install the files as there doesn’t appear to be any readme file included. I’m assuming it needs to be copied into one of the folders and possibly overwriting the lower res files but I’m not certain of that. Can you share on how you installed the pack? Many thanks Sir!
@737ngdriver Considering your fuel weight and 11 tons of payload loaded at that station (the VCAB positioned with it's CG @ ~8,5 m from the reference datum), it's quiet normal for the trim to be at a maxium tailward. Index change of the CG would be around -i44 (while operational index is between i82 and i112), with a neutral index of i100 (12,0 m from ref datum). So you would be well out of the operational limits. I hope AzurPoly, that had done a magnificent job with the C-160, will someday allow to shift the given cargo to a bit more realistic positions. That said, thank you for doing that interesting IFR Video with the "old dame" Transall. Keep more coming, please.
Thanks Gled! Seems strange indeed that when you load the plane using their own EFB you end up outside the CG envelope and quite significantly outside of it, it seems. Hopefully they'll update that soon.
@@A330Driver Yes, I was suspicious from day one when I saw their limits, regarding the CG of the aircraft (at least limits, that didn't/ don't resemble the real worlds figures). But we remain full of hope. ;-)
Unfortunately, users are reporting the GNS 430 isn't following flight plans because it uses the pre-AAU1 system. Azurpoly has confirmed this and is working on a fix.
Very nice plane love it. But when i engage the autopilot it doesn' t want to hold straight line. Instead the plane rolls to the left and holds like this. Any help with this maybe or someone with the same experience?
Hi man, and reaally thak you for your great tutorials👍👍one question: the transall c160 can intercept a ils and the ap can follow the glide path i see using garmin 430... but how can i use this procedure? I ve only to change gps in vlock in the garmin and then it will follow the correct descending path? Where i ve to insert the ils frequency ?Thank you if you ll answer 😀
Does anyone have a link to those takeoff speed ref cards? I cannot find them with just the "Projekt Transall" as a reference. Would be cool if you could link stuff like this.
Technically I did follow the gps track with the 430. It actually does work if you have a gps course laid out from the world map. I even did a rnav approach with it and captured the glide slope. I was going to mess with it this morning before duty today.
@@A330Driver I won't lie I use an Xbox controller with the presets on the controller for autopilot to make it work. But since I have been learning the 737 I actually forget what steps I use once I'm done with breakfast I'll take a quick flight to tonopah airport from Harry Reid my base airport and see what I did
So this is what I am doing right now master button is Y on Xbox controller to turn autopilot on. RB+B turns on NAV1 on the PFD that has the digital artificial horizon indicator on it to get it to follow the track in the gps. RB+X activates the altitude hold and climb but you can do that with the iPad in the cockpit. And I mapped RB+Down D pad for approach mode.
Hi, I have bought Azurpoly C160 yesterday from Sim Maker but it does'nt work. I can't figure out what the problem is. The on-board tablet does not turn on. The APU switch button cannot be used, the systems cannot be started. It's like a demo version. Please help me out because I like to use this program. Maybe the registration key is missing ? I have not received any. I wonder why is it not working. It was to expensive if it 's a demo version. Please give us technical advise. Many Thanks in advance 9:57
Thanks for the update. Moved this plane onto my "probably buy" list! I couldn't find the data table in German that you showed, any chance of a link to it?
Oh, nice! Is there a changelog anywhere? I just downloaded 3.5GB of updates through marketplace, but no trace of a changelog. When I click on the log in marketplace it simply gives me the one of the first update which I've shown in this video already.

Going to wait on buying this one dependent on improvements to the FMS and AP.
Understndably. They're on a good track though if they continue like this!
Pfff another terrible propeller effect.
There's an option to make it look much better in the EFB, but it's so framerate intensive, my system simply can't run it and thus I turned it off.
Great ✨✨ 💖💛🧡💖❤💝
