It would be possible to publish a preview of the Caravan manual?
-
As I've seen in several posts that the Caravan launch is coming up soon, I was wondering if it would be possible for us to take a look at the manual while we eagerly await the release.
I'm very curious about several features that I don't remember seeing simulated in other addons, like residual heat or exhaust back pressure (though I have no idea what they are). I would like to see if the manual explains in detail what they are.
Regards

As usual, we will publish the manual before the release, so you can start reading. This might be relatively soon, if we put up the Caravan in-development page at the same time as the Baron and Bonanza. In the meantime, both of the features you mention are part of my turbine engine simulation, which is already deployed in the TBM, Turbine Duke, and Starship. You can find the relevant sections in any one of those manuals and learn about those systems. If you have any more questions, however, I will always be here!

I just took a look at the Starship manual, and the section dedicated to the turbine really impressed me. I was aware of the reputation of your products, but I never imagined anyone could develop a Caravan Supercargo with this level of detail. I'm going to save the PDF to read and study it in depth.
The wait until the release is going to be tough...

Hi Kevin. Any clues for caravan pro perhaps?

@Chotter By way of an update for you, the Caravan Professional won't be released this year. January 26 earliest, depending on progress and workload at Nick's end. Can't confirm it but we hope to have it showing on the website as part of our In Development section in December, along with the manual probably. But no guarantees on any of that, I just wanted to give you an update whilst you wait. Hope that helps.

I’ve been dreaming for years for a study-level Caravan Cargo, so I can wait a couple more months. No problem, whatever he needs. If you can finally publish the manual, meanwhile, I can prepare a checklist based on this model. In any case, I appreciate the information.

@Voice-of-Reason @Chotter hello!
Any updates on manual or plane itself please?
Thanks -
Hello!
Any updates perhaps - either the manual that precedes the plane or maybe just a word on project that precedes the manual?

Hello!
Delay is understood as it was holiday period. People are appreciative of black squares works and thats why so much passion. Looking forward to your update. Thanks -
Here's your update I promised...
Looking like a release late Feb/early March now with the Dev page and release of manual coming a little later this month. As usual with things being fluid and other projects requiring priority attention there has been a little slippage. Work has continued though and we'll be showing off some screenshots to reflect that as soon as the Dev page is opened up.
I hope this helps by way of an update for you. Thanks.
