First look at the AzurePoly Transall C160 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 

Watched a few vids on this plane, just catching up on YT and your's is the best. I think because you come at it like most of us, a simmer learning stuff.

I think they did a fantastic job. They have the best manual I’ve seen. 70+ pages on day one!

I wondered why you were sitting there for a while before. I had a fly around near you before in the Osprey and gathered you might have been learning the aircraft! Great video John!

I got reverse thrust to work. You have to a assign a button to toggle "reverse thrust" Basically how it works for me, I go to idle, than I hit my toggle reverse thrust button, and push my thrust handles forward. That worked for me. Took a lot of trial and error But I figured it out a while back. It works the same with jets. I go to idle, hit my toggle reverse thrust button, push thrust sticks forward and I have controllable reverse thrust. To get out out of it, thrust back to idle, and I hit reverse thrust button again and it gets me back to forward thrust. Additionally Not all turbo props works this way, this is just how I figured it out with this plane. I'm running a X-56 Hotas Throttle and stick.

Another great video Jonathan, very much appreciated for sure. One of my biggest issues with aircraft sold in the market place is that they almost never come with flight manuals and I cant imagine why this is. Thanks for taking the time to get us started with the start up procedure guide. A shame really that you have to do that. Best

Thanks for this! I’m glad I’m not the only one who found a few things “peculiar” but this vid helps!

Nice job reminds me of the Fairchild 123. I will defiantly end of purchasing this. Thanks again!

Notice I didn't start the fuel pumps for engine number 1? And it still ran? :) Further note - I just got beta working with the engines - it was Microsoft Flight Simulator's fault by the look of it. It "broke" the controller configuration. I re-copied the default profile, and suddently everything started working. Here's a take 2 of the startup :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aJU3gUNdi0o.html

Sounds like the FMS will be operational with future updates for flight plans, as it sits, it is fantastic!

Thanks! Very interesting.. BTW: Hector of the ground crew said " crazy Brit just dusted the crap out of us"...LOL.

@5:40min there is the so called "air-ground-lever", that prevents the powerlevers from being put into MaxBeta , GROUND IDLE or reversion during flight. That's the little black lever in the middle of the power levers , on the Aircraft Commanders side. On take-off it ist put into the front position by the flight engineer. THat function is not modelled,yet. It woukd provide that mechanical limit between MaxBeta (47° from T/O power) and Flight Idle(40° from T/O power). So hopefully Azurpoly will model that in future to make it easier. Maybe the numbers help somebody to alter the sections or movement on the throttle portion.

Awesome vid as always. I did see earlier that a person call Fast Times Vero who I think was using the Xbox did a start up run through. Maybe check that out to cross check just in case he might have something to add to what you have done here.Cheers Jonathan.

You flew it like a skyhawk c337 :) Nice video thank you

Thnx for the download M8, love your video's.

I hope they do a C130, Captain Sim need their a$$ kicked ...lol Got this on my wishlist and waiting for it to go on sale 😊

THank you for the video. I am really torn by this plane because it looks, and sounds amazing from what i see. But with bugs mentioned below and the lack of FMC and the proper AP, we basically get very little in terms of navigation right now. I was about to get the ATR, and if this had a working FMC it would be the Transal hands down. But right nw i am not so sure.

Great flying and great tips. Thank you.

Beautiful !!!!

Some observations so far ... I accidentally shut the engines down going back into low-idle as well. Reversers work if you have a 'Toggle Reversers' hold button mapped.

Bedankt

Had I known about the bugs mentioned below and the lack of FMC and the proper AP, I would have waited - there still doesn't seem to be an update for this - otherwise it looks stunning - shame to spend so much on a decent product only to find the bugs mentioned below and the lack of FMC and the proper AP?

Hello again! Another great video :)

A friend complained about aircraft where everything is not clickable and it’s not of expert level. I had to explain to him that if it was that easy to fly an aircraft we could all easily be pilots. Simulators have to be dumbed downed for us, especially for those who have flown aircraft in other games, GAMES being the emphasised word. I was lucky with having 5hrs instruction in a Chipmunk aircraft in the RAF as an SAC and 10 hrs flying gliders and to be a honest I’d be scared shitless if someone said ‘there you go, land this C172’ never mind a C160 😂

Nice looking plane mate.

Looking good!

ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhh The video Content brillant as usual . Thank You

Autopilot works perfect for me, so does reverse thrust - i just press B on my Xbox controller and after the thrust goes down it goes into reverse thrust. I didn't need to map an extra botton or something. I'm on Xbox series s and everything works perfect. There's only one issue but I have this with many planes - it always spawns on the runway but there's a solution for this - before I start the flight i clear the data cache, then it spawns on parking position.

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

its a lovely a/c i think its got navigation hsi bugs at the moment. it has that bug where sometimes the course deviation needle just instantly goes from one side to the other

Will wait for FMS before buying, seems they rushed the release a bit

It has potential :)

Oops, forgot the fuel pumps for Engine #1...

How can i do a flight plan??? For example. MORH/SKSP???

Way too expensive for me, No that I can't afford it just that I'm too cheap! So I'll hold off for now, as I'm still learning and enjoying the ATR that was released last week... Lol

Why did you turn PUMPS for engine 2 before start and you did not do the same for engine 1? I don't understand

In the beginning manuals for everything...now we are getting to the stage of getting nothing..whats all that about? Not good enough imo

Is this available in the msfs market place?

Thats wierd my reverse thrust works and throttles are right in the plane.

That's it - after five minutes I'd heard enough - and that I won't be buying this in it's present form.

Weird all round. Barty

Whats the price range Jon ?

Must be nice to have an interior. Us Xbox players get to deal with an exterior-only version that’s absolutely boring AF.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qAkR_Fl1rFE.html how to start up and shutdown video from the developer.

looks alot like a C -130

Modelling looks crap mate

Thank you for the great video! I have an "Aero" issue when i run the engines, looks like 3D thermal. i couldn't find the solution in the settings so far, if you (or anyone) can help, i will be appreciated. Here is the very short video; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UFanzrXxP6s.html
