Marcel Kunt's Islander Passengers?

[hobby]

Can anyone remember how to fill the aircraft with passengers?

I can get the "Remove Before Flight" ribbons to show but getting the steps to show has also defeated me! From LH door pocket in virtual panel.

I thought there was a knob on the panel to select the number of passenger...sure there's one on the Trislander...or am I potty?

That's how I remember it too mate

Thanks Dave

Long time ago now, on my first FS9 PC, but I'm sure that was it

Just checked the manual -at the bottom of the panel, below the RMI, there is a Knob with the letter 'P' and a digital counter to the left of it. Turning the knob will load the pax, but you need to change the payload yourself.
You need to turn the mags off before you open the door, or some drunken passenger might trip down the steps , grab the prop for support, and start the engine...

On the real Islander the door by the prop has a micro switch preventing the engine running unless the door is fully closed...not modelled like that then??

Come to think of it I don't think the real one loaded the pax using a knob, although perhaps a nob loaded them?

Cheers, Garry - Marcel's Islander has an a alarm which sounds if you open the door with the mags 'on'. It would drive you daft trying to find a cancel button, and eventually you are reduced to reading the manual, where all is made clear...
BTW, Mark Beaumont did a Kenyan repaint which included an alternative interior with a couple of sheep in the back row

Many thanks. I have a somewhat different panel and on the 2d panel the passenger knob is not under the RMI but can be found on the virtual panel at the top of the right hand side. My Loganair repaint can have a kilted piper in the rear seat!

I have just returned from two weeks in Orkney and there really is no shortage of wind every day; on sunny days the sea can be the colour of the Mediterranean. Quite astonishing. One quickly appreciates that the sea ferries between the islands are extremely important to everyday life and the Islanders that fly between the islands are a Godsend.

An important fact is that the population consider themselves to be Orcadians first and Scots second. Their flag is very similar to the Norwegian flag, the only difference is that the Orcadian nordic cross is outlined in yellow rather than white. Incidentally Norway maintains a consulate in Kirkwall and the population do not speak the Gaelic nor are they part of the Clan system.

Dave B may be interested to know that the Sea Cadets are there and also Army cadets but no Air Cadets.
