Fiat G.12 Trimotor [Airliner Variant]

描述
Fiat G.12 Trimotor [Airliner Variant]

This is my realistic recreation of the airliner variant of the Italian Fiat G.12 personnel transport. This is a long description, but bear with me here, as it is difficult to use this creation properly without knowing at least the basics.

The Fiat G.12 was a trimotor personnel transport that was first introduced in 1941. After being, in turn, used as a civil airliner before the war, and as troop transport during World War 2, it was retired in 1956. With three large radial engines, this passenger transport can carry up to 16 passengers in comfort. With a traditional tricycle landing gear (with a non retractable tailwheel), this beauty can speed through the skies at a considerable 190 knots. The access door to this tricycle trimotor can be found at the left hand rear of the aircraft.

Features:
  • Parachutes stored in the aft cargo bay.
  • Assorted equipment, such as welders and first aid kits.
  • Dimming lights and heaters.
  • It can carry up to 16 passengers and 2 crew comfortably.
  • Top speed of 190 knots.
  • Endurance of A Lot. At least 400 min and 2,000 km.

How to Use:
  1. Startup:
    Open the rear door, and jump or use the handles to get into the aircraft. Get to the cockpit, lights and heaters are near the door if needed. Get into the Pilot's seat, and switch on Avionics Power and optionally any of the lights in the center panel near the ceiling. In the middle of the instrument panel, there are three sets of engine controls. For each engine:
    • Switch on Fuel Pumps
    • Switch on Oil Pumps
    • Switch on Alternators
    • And finally, hold the starter until the rpm gauge (above the engine controls) is above 120 rpm. The engine is now started.

  2. To taxi:
    Toggle off the parking brake (lower left) and slowly advance the throttles with up/down. Use left/right to steer towards the start of the runway. You should have pretty good visibility, but make sure to be properly lined up. Place throttle to minimum and toggle the parking brake back on, or just hold (space).

  3. For takeoff:
    Extend the flaps one notch (flaps are near the parking brake). Advance the throttles slightly, until the aircraft is fighting the brakes, moving forward slowly. In the same moment, release the brakes and move the throttles forward to full power. Pull up immediately, as this is a tailwheel, and the aircraft will swing down before you can pitch up. Make sure not to smack the props into the ground, as that is what we in the aircraft business technically call a Prop Strike. Level out the aircraft, and retract the flaps. On the 1x1 flap and gear indicator (left middle, near the flap control panel) click and drag up on the landing gear lever. You are now good to go.

  4. In flight:
    The aircraft will tend to keep itself stable, all you need to do is make sure the aircraft is pointing in the right direction and at the right altitude. This is an old aircraft, and as such, you are the autopilot. Monitor the engine gauges and oil gauges (near copilot) to make sure everything looks alright. If anything starts blinking, pay attention. You can find some equipment on either side of the cockpit, and behind the last seat. Parachutes are stored in the aft cargo bay in case you want to make a surprise visit.

  5. Landing:
    Line up with the runway, lower the landing gear, and extend the flaps fully. Lower the throttles gradually to descend and slow down. Pitch up very slightly, and pump the brakes (spacebar) lightly to come to a complete stop. Taxi into position, engage the parking brake, lower the throttles to minimum, and turn off all fuel and oil pumps, and alternators. You have now landed. NOTE: The more flaps you have, the more lift you will have, and the slower you will go. Manage this carefully. On landing, make sure the props do not hit the ground.

  6. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS:
    Engine Fire: If one of the engines is on fire, the engine fire suppression systems are at the bottom left of the instrument panel.

    Low Fuel: If you are running out of fuel, or the fuel warning light goes on, then continue at half (0.6-0.5) throttle (or lower even further) to reduce fuel consumption. This can be further reduced by using only one engine (preferably the center engine). Use the fuel pumps (in front of the copilot) to transfer fuel to the working engine.

    Engine Failure: If one wing engine fails, immediately lower or cut completely the throttle on the remaining wing engine to prevent entering into a spin.

    NOTE: You can take off, fly, and gain altitude with only the center engine. If you only have one of the wing engines, then you can sort of fly, with a lot of effort and precision. Good trim values for this is 1 for a/d and around 0.55 for left/right for only the right engine.

    Water Landing: If you have made a water landing, grab one of the oxygen masks on either side of the cockpit (This is an old plane, passengers are not a priority, there are only two oxygen masks) and exit the rear door. Swim for the nearest piece of land.

    Stranded: Switch on the transponder (left hand wall of the pilot's seat) and hope that someone will rescue you.

Notes:
  • When parked, switch off the three cockpit breakers (near the bottom of the left and right walls). Then, you can flip the breaker on the inside right edge of the door to keep the battery from draining. You can access it from the exterior when needed. There is also an electrical cable anchor near the door as well, in case you want to recharge either the aircraft or a separate vehicle.
