- Microsoft Flight Simulator World update 12 for New Zealand also introduced us to a new Famous Flyer. The De Haviland DHC4 Caribou. Today we will Fly from Whangarei NZWR to go check out Hole in the Rock and Cape Brett Lighthouse.
We will go over how to start from cold and dark, take off settings, cruise settings, how to land as well as a full review! Is it worth the $15!?

I disagree with your negative comments about the aircraft exterior. I have been around a lot of Caribous over many decades and they are damned close to what they looked like in real life. I think they have done a very good job on the paintwork, and the exhausts. I do have a niggle of my own, though, and that is the ramp - it lacks the supporting arms they normally have and also the panels that go with the supports. Hopefully this will be fixed; it seems to be an oversight given the level of detail they have gone into everywhere else. Remember though that these planes are old and you can't expect shiny straight off the showroom floor models.
I agree with you about how they should be worn and used with blemishes and have discoloration on them. I am referring to the resolution of the textures. They are blotchy and smudgy when you are up close vs hi resolution. I would hate it if these looked like they are off the show room floor.
Once you back away the lower resolution of the textures isn’t as noticeable and the wear in the paint, exhaust, and other blemishes look great. Up close they are pixelated and blotchy.
I am going to help you mate to reach 1000, love your videos
Cheers!! Thanks so much!
one of my favorite planes i've flown. I don't often fly much of the vintage/classic airplanes so this is an awesome change of pace.
Awesome! They really did a great job on this one!
"WH" in Whangare is pronounced as an F sound and the two "A"s sound like "ahh" like as in 'armadillo; and 'garden'. So "Whangarei" prounounced properly sounds like faaan ga ray. Great vid. :P
Fantastic! I was hoping someone would help me with that one! Thanks for watching!
Easy way to pronounce it is fong-ar-ray. Another one that you can come across is Whakatane. That's pronounced fok-a-tarn-a. The e is pronounced as ay as in w-ay.
Thanks much, really enjoying the caribou, good value.
Me too! It ugly but someone still good looking. It is also a blast to fly! Thanks for watching!
Picked it up last night cause of the review and I like it ✌🏼
Great to hear!
Rudder trim is on the overhead and its pretty helpful on this aircraft.
Thanks!!
Nice flight. Thanks for the into to Asobo's DHC4. 28:57 seems to show the rudder trim behind the magnetos.
Yes it does! Hiding plain site!
I wonder can the wheelbarrow landing trick be done? Nice review! 100% agree with steam = best!
I am going to definitely try it!! It will be like a motorcycle stunt show! Thanks for watching, means a lot!
28:42 Rudder trim large knob/wheel centre roof. Towards the rear from all the other stuff :)
🤠Oh and Whangārei sounds like:- "Wong-ghar-ray" (silent 'H'). Although we do get "Wangar-ray" a lot 🙃
Great presentation...Thank you...Roger...Pembrokeshire
I wish someone other than x hangar would do one of these for xplane. It's a beautiful plane and deserves to look nice.
Liked the video I was wondering what the max cargo capacity was and if you found where rudder and aileron trim was located?😊
Looking at this aircraft in real life the engines are way louder IRL
I did think the engines sounded weak as well. They were only ok in my opinion. Also wish you could open the window to hear them.
thx for the Review
Thanks for watching!
Would differential engine power/prop pitch give you the missing trim? Another great video thank you.
There is a rudder trim up on the overhead that was hiding in plain sight. Technically you could do that, but I believe this makes the props so out of sync that you will get horrible vibrations and not great for the aircraft.
that was a good video Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice !
Thanks!
I was wondering where the alternator switches were! Just lost instruments after take off lol
How do you think I found them 😂 thanks for watching!
That landing sound when wheel touch the ground sound pretty bad.
Are you referring to the tires touching down in the outside view or inside the cockpit? I agree the tires touching from the outside is not the best and strange you cannot hear it in the cockpit.
@@sprocketsimulations yes
Any aileron trim on this aircraft?
Could you please explain how to change the manifold preasure and how you know wich percentage?
Manifold pressure is controlled my your throttle. The settings I demonstrate in this video are from an article a Caribou pilot described what he used. Typically you would have a performance chart to tell you what altitude at what you should set your MP and RPM’s for a given fuel burn and speed.
For simplicity keep it in the green band. Typically after take off you need to reduce your throttle and RPMs a bit as the engines aren’t designed to run at max settings for long.
Once you have reached your desired altitude (which you will need to adjust both throttle and mixture while climbing to keep the same performance as the air gets thinner), you would back off your MP and RPMs for your desired speed and fuel burn. If you want to go faster set them higher, slower and further set them lower.
The same basic principle applies to most aircraft.
Gust Lock mechanically locks the flight controls.
That is absolutely true for control surfaces but on the throttle I am not sure what it is for. It does not lock other surfaces of the aircraft as you can see I was able to taxi all the way out only remembered it was on when I went to advance the throttle.
Maybe it’s designed IRL to lock the rudder and ailerons but it definitely doesn’t in the sim.
@@sprocketsimulations From the C-7A USAF Flight Manual T.O. 1C-7A-1 (10-14-74) Pg 1-26: "The gust lock handle is located immediately forward of the throttles on the overhead console (figure 1-3). The handle is marked CONTROLS LOCK, with two positions marked UNLOCKED forward and LOCKED aft. When in the LOCKED position with the aileron and rudder controls neutral and the control column forward, the controls will mechanically lock. The gust lock handle prevents the throttles being advanced beyond a position allowing approximately 1600 rpm. A trigger on the gust lock handle must be pulled down before the handle can be released from the locked or unlocked positions."
In the sim, observing from outside the aircraft, it appears that only the ailerons are locked while the gust lock is "LOCKED" ... the rudder & elevator continue to move freely.
Is there an auto pilot system on this plane
There is not. But it can be trimmed out really easily using the rudder trim. With the neatly tucked GNS530 you can still follow a flight plan but it will be manual flying. Great fun!
How do i fly a heading 🤔
There is no auto pilot so you simply turn and fly the heading you want to be at by looking at your compass.
