Flight Tutorial
Introduction
When compared to smaller piston-engine powered airplanes, flying a
fast turboprop aircraft like the Piper Cheyenne can be quite a challenge.
Besides the faster speed, the aircraft requires precise flying techniques
and some understanding about the aircrafts systems and avionics. This
tutorial is intended to introduce you to the Piper Cheyenne by giving
some hints about how to fly this plane. To work through this tutorial
we recommend that you have read the manual and are generally familiar
with the aircrafts panel, systems and characteristics.
Flight controls and control feedback
Besides the aerodynamic programming by the developer, the feeling of
flying in MS Flight Simulator highly depends on the hardware the pilot
uses. Slow refresh rates (<15 fps) can affect our optical recognition,
and the feeling for the movement of a plane may be deranged. Control
devices are of equal importance, they need to be properly adjusted in
order to provide a realistic feedback. For a simple check switch to slew
mode (<Y> key in MS Flight Simulator). The plane should stay on its
position, while being easily movable using your flight controls. In case
you experience troubles here, you need to calibrate your input devices.
In case you own a registered version of FSUIPC.DLL, you should also
calibrate and check your flight controls there.
