Pilatus Porter PC-6

420 Lele182  6.3 years ago

The Pilatus Porter PC-6 ist one of the best STOL aircrafts in the world.
It´s built to transport cargo, up to 10 passenders, a 800l tank for fire fighting missions, skydiver and many more.
It can land mostly everywhere. On snow (snow ski), water (floats), sand, gras or normal runways.
I have built this aircraft, because I think it´s one of the best existing aircrafts in its class. Theres no other plain that can handle missions like the Porter.
I hope you enjoy my PC-6 and dont forget to set the correct trim with the horrizontal stabilizer.
Have fun!

    This is fantastic! If you know how to do it, you should have added a prop hub on the propeller because the propeller's prop hub looks a bit too small IMHO. But other than that this is a fine Porter!

    @BogdanX you can trim the complete horizontal stabilator (like the real one), for Level up flights in every Speed range.

    Since you are new, I'll give you some useful tips. I haven't noticed any XML edited parts during my quick checkup of this build, so I'll start with that. XML editing is modifying parts in the ways you can't normally do in the game. You can do that by accessing game files, or, more easily, through Overload mod. Here are some useful inputs. Unfortunately, you can't edit color through Overload. So, we have Color Editor mod. There's also Fine Tuner mod, older and more accurate version of the stock rotation tool, that also allows you to scale parts, or even an entire build.
    If you need any more tips or other help here, feel free to ask.

    @Lele182 looking at this model, I believe you. You obviously know stuff about PC-6. If you keep this level of quality on your future builds, you'll get very far very quickly. Welcome to the community.

    @EternalDarkness
    thank you
    I have tried my best and as I´m working on such an aircraft in real live I tried to make it as realistic as possible.

    It also flies very well. You have impressed me. And, for two years of me being in this community, not many people have managed to do that.

    Very nice, especially for your level. I see quite a few details on it. Only advice I can give you is related to posting planes. Take time to write a description, and use all three screenshots you can for upload.
