1. Flip all 3 engine switches.
2. Press and hold 1st and 3rd engine starter buttons.
3. Increase throttle with both throttle levers.
4. After left and right engines started, drop the throttle to idle.
5. Switch throttle lever mixer.
6. Press and hold 2nd engine starter button.
7. Increase throttle with left throttle lever.
8. After center engine started, drop the throttle to idle.

Now the aircraft ready for taxi


To take off, you need to set flaps to max angle and throttle to max. You won't be able to take off without flaps.
High engine placement and drag from the water will cause plane to nose dive, so when aircraft starts trying to take off, help it with elevator. After no contact with water, you will rapidly acelerate and flaps will cause aircraft to pitch up. Fold the flaps

Landing is easy; Drop throttle to 50%, set flaps to 50-60%. Ideally, you want to touch water at lower speed, otherwise, plane will bounce off the surface of the water.


Even though this aircraft has 3 engines, losing 1 will cause you to lose altitude. Especially if you lost center one. If you lost one of the side engines, you will have great slope to land safely. To counter thrust shift, use build in prop yaw trim.

Also, roll is automatic in mouse control mode. You can switch it to A/D by toggling following option:


_______________________________________________________________


Rework - realistic cockpit close to original aircraft's design
Rework - updated engine controller to version 3.10
_______________________________________________________________


Fix - buoyancy simulation tweaks

Rework - improved flight model. Wing and flaps provides lift. Flaps lowered at more than 15* causes severe drag, which decreases speed
