X-Plane.Org Forum: Pilatus PC-6 B2/H4 - Mt Cook Air - High Vis (860) v2 - X-Plane.Org Forum

Version 2
- Now feature paired with ZK-MCN (my other Mt Cook Air PC-6 which initially leapfrogged this PC-6 in terms of object detail - see it's entry for details)
- Corrected door colours (they were slightly off)
- Corrected end colour of port wing strut
- Added white aerial anchors on top of fuselage
- Fixed bug with instrument panel (the airport marker lights were incorrectly located)

Basically, this version has far better window's, wing struts and overall polish.

I'm very pleased to present the result of a collaboration with Beat Burkhard, my first Mt Cook Airline's Pilatus Turbo Porter PC6-B2-H4 (actually, it's my first acf of any form). This aircraft is the result of months of development and tweaking together, as Beat graciously made many changes based mostly on my requests. Beat uploaded his five new (v1.2) Porters yesterday, but only listed a few of the changes he's made. The Porters have had these changes made since the early release back in April:

By Beat:
Snow skis added (as objects) - on some aircraft
Undercarriage fully sprung and articulated (looks amazing moving across rough ground)
Rudder top and entire horizontal stabiliser now objects
Whole horizontal stabiliser moves when trimmed
Elevator activation arms and Flettner tabs
Centre of gravity adjusted
Paint scheme made far more flexible - including totally separate areas for all doors and most misc parts
Cockpit modified (including correcting the movement of the rudder pedals - they were reversed)
Vent above and behind cabin and air intake on nose added
Pilot and co-pilot footsteps and hand holds added
Corrected the spinner shape (more pointed)
Under-engine drains and vents

By me (some specifically for ZK-MCK):
Added custom engine sounds (engine sound is genuine)
Further customised paint scheme giving even more flexibility for other skins (incl. new prop textures with different front and back)!
Notch in rudder at base added
Moved, customised and added additional aerials
Tweaked beacon location
Removed the tailwheel stone guard (Misc Object 3)
Added low pressure wheels/tires
Included Mount Cook Airline Livery (High Visibility version)

Key differences between Porters:
The Porters from Beat to date far have been B2/H4 models - so the instrument panels are more modern. My Mt Cook Porters began life as older B2/H2 models, so the panels are of an older design and layout (more simple).

Hope you like it!
