Carenado Shorts 360
Does anyone have the Carenado shed on this forum? I bought it recently for P3Dv5 and love it. However I have awful problems trying to slow it down for approach and landing especially if it's light. Typically for Carenado there is no manual so any help would be appreciated.

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
I have it for p3d4 and not had any issue reducing airspeed.
My problem is firing it up from cold. CTRL+E doesnt work. Other than that I bloody love it.

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
I have both the 360 and 330. I had lots of odd problems with P3D5 across various models so binned it and went back to using 4.5 which has no issues.

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
Are vyou talking about on approach using full flap and you ascend?

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
Thanks for your replies folks. I have no problems with it in P3Dv5 other than getting it to slow down. Probably down to awful piloting by me but it does seem very slippery. Ctrl-E does work but I tend to use the Carenado option shift-5 from the flight deck. Flap deployment does cause a bit of balooning but that seems to happen in other aircraft so I'm always ready for it. I also like the fact that all of the controls on my Saitek Multipanel work for this aircraft.
I read a thread on Pprune about the 360 by plenty of guys that have flown it. Makes for interesting reading.

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
I have both sheds (330 and 360) and both are hard work to slow down. Starting is an issue with P3dv5 but the are some videos from Carenado here;
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqIFOR ... IDwO3C_2LA
but none cover the sheds. Carenado are well known for 'thin' manuals.
Help for the 360 is here though;

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
If you add this to the aircraft cfg file the engines behave better;
[TurbineEngineData]
fuel_flow_gain.0 = 35, 0.001
fuel_flow_gain.1 = 40, 0.008
fuel_flow_gain.2 = 65, 0.01
fuel_flow_gain.3 = 69, 0.04
//fuel_flow_gain = 0.03
I use pitch prop to slow it down as well as throttle,

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
Hi Nev , good to see you around .. Hope you're all well .
Is there a prop condition lever / VP prop lever ? Can you and are you putting '' props to Max '' [ RPM ] for the approach ?
Should then be like running into a barn door.
ATP with PWC 127s [ grown up PT6 ] , if you did not put props to Max, slippery as an eel . ''Props to Max'' rapidly put the brakes on ..

Re: Carenado Shorts 360
Hi Dave, great to hear from you. I was at Compton a couple of weeks ago but did not say hello as you were with a student.
You are quite right it does slow the shed down although the turboprop modelling is wrong in P3D.
I also have the Majestic Q400 which has an external app to run the engines so i will report back once I have a grip on the thing. ( Should take about 4 years ).
