/images/notams/notams22/milv0607.jpgAircraft developer MilViz has taken to Facebook with a brief update on their development progress: Porter Stage 2: Development is ongoing, but we are a bit behind schedule. Hope to have some pics with the floats in the coming weeks. 310R: Service pack is nearly finished! Source

/images/notams/notams21/milv1008.jpgWe are very excited to introduce you to the MilViz PC-6 Porter. Anextremely exciting aircraft to fly, it's safe to say that if thePorter doesn't scratch your cravings for a capable, high performance,STOL turboprop, nothing will! The PC-6 Porter, with its boxy verticalstabilizer, long, pointed nose, high wings and rugged landing gear,may not win any awards for the most elegant aircraft to grace theskies, but its capabilities are the stuff of legend.

/images/notams/notams21/milv0924.jpgThe PT-6A equipped PC-6/B Turbo-Porter first flew on May 1st 1964,three years after the Turboméca first turbine powered prototype andfour years after the original underpowered Lycoming flat sixPC-6/340. During a production run which ended in 2019, the Turbo-Porterproved itself a highly capable and versatile utility aircraft, findingfavour with civilian and military operators throughout the world.

/images/notams/notams19/milv0813/milv0813.jpgThis is our FSX Steam Edition version of our original P3D v4.5Porter release. It is essentially the same but with no PBR, lowerresolution textures, and without TrueGlass. It retains all the otherfeatures, including the custom engine and systems programming. This product can be operated in FSX + Acceleration,however it is not supported owing to incompatibilities with theincluded Milviz/Rex WXR. /images/notams/notams19/milv0813/turbo-porter-1.jpgWe've paid particular attention to the flight dynamics with a heavyfocus on creating an aircraft that is realistic not only in the visualdepartment, but also in the way it handles. The PC-6 Porter is apowerful and capable utility aircraft and we wanted to capture anauthentic feel to the controls. Hundreds of hours of testing andexpert refinement have resulted in a rewarding, yet ultimatelyenjoyable, flight experience that successfully mimics all aspects ofthe real world model, up to and including in-flight reverse pitch'beta' mode. Highly ConfigurableThe Milviz PC-6 Porter includes our own highly detailed GPS unitsbased on the default simulator data, however we recognize that many ofour customers use other popular 3rd party options for replicating theGPS functions. For the PC-6 Porter, we've bundled in compatibility forthe most popular avionics add-ons with multiple configurationsavailable to choose from. Compatible 3rd party avionics include thefollowing: Flight1 750 GTN Flight1 650 GTN Reality XP 530 GNS Reality XP 430 GNS Navstax Radio/Navigation Suite /images/notams/notams19/milv0813/turbo-porter-2.jpgPT6A-27: 'By The Book' PerformanceUsing code developed for our forthcoming King Air, Chuck, Tomas andthe rest of the programming team have pulled out all the stops tobring you what we hope you will agree, is the most accurate andrealistic rendition of a PT6A-27 available anywhere today. All functions and characteristics emulate the real-world classicturbine down to a tee. If you have experienced one in real life youwill recognise the distinctive start up, and the way power, sounds,temperature and internal pressures are all meticulouslycoordinated. Engine model = Pratt & Whitney PT6A-27 Engine Power = 550 SHP Flat Rated up to 43 ºC ISA conditions Propeller = 4 bladed, constant speed. Propeller model = Hartzell HC-D4N-3P/D9511F /images/notams/notams19/milv0813/turbo-porter-3.jpgCustom Modelled SystemsStartup procedure:Totally realistic. Spool up rates depending on different variable (fuel, temperature, altitude, battery power,etc).In-Flight different start procedures included:Starter assisted No Starter/Windmilling (depending on conditions) Hot starts simulated due to different conditions (fuel too soon, low battery, etc) FSX custom AutoStart included (CTRL-E)Custom specific sounds for entire startup/shutdown sequence, both external and internal; sound volume is user configurable with MVAMS. Realistic propeller rotation at engine startup & shutdown. Engine Performance modeled following real engine data from different tables. Emergency Power System fully operational. Engine failures because of limits exceeded (random) Cold & Hot weather operations realistically simulated, including:Oil pressure variable upon oil temp conditions Oil temp variable upon OAT conditions Combustion delays at low temperaturesFuel System totally simulated, including:External tank(s) configuration for certain variants External to Main fuel transfersCustom Electrical System, including:1 x 24V 34 Ah NiCad Battery; battery damage due to overheating is simulated and will cause failures if starter time limits are not respected. /images/notams/notams19/milv0813/turbo-porter-4.jpgAccurate & In-DepthBuilding on our experience with the DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 Otter, andthe DHC-3T Turbo Otter, our PC-6 Porter offers a comparable level ofsystems depth and functionality. Our goal is to create an immersive,true-to-life experience for any simulator pilot, regardless ofexperience. Choose to fly the Turbo Porter by the book, or simply jumpin and fly, your choice! Our PC-6 goes far beyond the default simulator functionality inorder to provide an accurate, realistic recreation of keycharacteristics and systems functionality. The electrical system isclosely simulated, with operable circuit breakers present for keysystems. The dangerous effects of icing are also simulated, with seriousconsequences for disregarding potentially dangerous flightconditions. Ice accumulation can be hazardous to the Porter, leadingto airspeed loss and a stall; freezing rain can disrupt staticinstruments and cause incorrect readings. And at the very core of this simulation is a carefully tuned flightmodel that imparts the unique flight qualities of this STOL-capableworkhorse. Highly Detailed KAP 140 AutopilotThe PC-6 Porter includes our custom coded, very accurate simulation of the venerable KAP 140 autopilot. Faithful to the original, from the font used to the replication of servo drives on the trim wheels and the yoke. The logic used in the KAP 140 has been carefully replicated to deliver one of the most realistic autopilot simulations available. A separate manual for the autopilot has been included. MVAMS Updating CapabilityOur innovative Milviz Aircraft Management System (MVAMS) is included with the PC-6 Porter package. Our MVAMS pre-flight configuration utility runs outside thesimulator providing the means to configure and incrementally updateindividual products to quickly address issues and make fixes whenrequired, without having to download and reinstall complete newversions of the aircraft. This allows our customers to quicklydiscover and install any pending updates for their aircraft, ensuringthat they are completely up-to-date with our latest fixes, changes, ortechnology. /images/notams/notams19/milv0813/turbo-porter-5.jpgSpecial FeaturesRealistic flight dynamicsRealistic startup and shutdownsRealistic systems and avionicsREX/Milviz WXR includedConfigurable for standard undercarriage, floats, amphibs, tundra wheels or skisCorrectly modelled reverse pitch beta modeRealistic night lighting, landing lights and custom effectsSupport for 3rd Party Avionics (RealityXP, Flight1, Navstax)High quality external and internal modelsHighly detailed product operating handbook included5 liveriesDoors and storage can be opened and closed in spot view Purchase Milviz - PC-6 Turbo Porter For FSX Steam Also available for Prepar3D v4

/images/notams/notams19/milv0721/milv0721.jpgRugged STOLAll straight lines and right-angles, with no concession toconventional aeroplane aesthetics, a first impression leaves no doubtthat the Porter is here to haul. A simple and rugged utility aircraft, the original concept has beenproven by over 50 years of uninterrupted production. Milviz presentsthe PC-6 Turbo-Porter for P3D v4.
