DHC-7 (Dash 7)

New Airplane Build!

The DHC-7 is a 4-engine turbo prop made in Canada in the 1980s by the airpane maker de Havilland Canada (now known as Bombardier) which was essentially the larger, higher capacity version of the intrepid DHC-6 “Twin Otter”. It carried over the short take off and landing capabilities (STOL) from its smaller predecessor making it ideal to rugged, rural airports with short runways. It typically seats 40-50 passengers, and became quite popular for various regional airlines from late 80s to early 2000s. The Dash 7 eventually evolved to an even bigger variant with twin engines - now known as the Bombardier Dash 8 series which has become among the most popular turboprop aircraft today.

First release of my de Havilland Canada Dash 7 (DHC-7) quad turbo prop airplane with interior and windows. Finally I had time to go back playing JNO and made this entirely original creation. This plane finally has some interactive “switches” on board the cockpit for your drood to control like the gear switch and passenger door switches. Engines are activated all at once with the AG1 Motors.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Turn ON MOTORS to activate the 4 engines
Set flaps to about 30-40 % down (SLIDER 1 + DOWN) and set pitch slider to about 28 - 32% down (PITCH slider + DOWN)
Set power to full and the plane will take off without further input.
Plane nose will pitch up excessively after take off rotation - counter the pitch up moment by “playing” with the pitch slider. After reaching 1500 mtrs set Flaps to 0 (SLIDER 1 neutral) and reduce power to 85%. Preset a pitch trim of about 18-22% pitch up (PITCH slider + down) to gradually climb to cruise altitude. Altitude ceiling is about 5500 to 6000 mtrs.
