Soooo glad to see you fly here! It's my favorite place to fly. The upper west part of PNG I haven't explored. But most of the big island and all of New Britain has been flown. Consider Goroka my base. But love taking off or landing at places like Maddang and Wewak because of the beautiful water and small islands in those areas. But all of PNG is beautiful. Incredible mountains and amazing valleys. I've never flown so many "go arounds" in my life as I did at Yifki. It's like in a bowl between several mountains and when you don't get it right, you're going around. It was trying, because when you miss you're going between mountains trying to stay low and keep your speed down with not much room to turn around and try again. Loved it.
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your reviews. I'm 64 and grew up near YVR, exRCAF WW2 Veteran Parents and Airline Navigator Father. Was hurt in a Car Crash in late '70s washing me out of Flight School😪😪😪. Sim Flying was all that was open to me so flew a lot of the early PC sims, playing on Xbox S now and quite happy with it's performance on this Sim. I see you like flying around Coastal BC which I just Love!!! Keep up the Great Work!!!
Brother I am soooo with you! This is where I've done most of my sim flying in MSFS2020. One of the most beautiful places in the world. And challenging at times. I sub to Missionary Bush Pilot as well and have flown all his flights a few times over. He fly's a Kodiak 100 and I fly the 208 with his Kodiak skin over top. It is always good to see you sir. I've been a subscriber for years but I haven't hit that bell, or should I say "Bel". I shall do that immediately, as you have always done great content and shown yourself to be a super totally upstanding person of character. And those are the kind of people I like to surround myself. So respect, but now I have missed too much of Av's video and will restart.
I learned how to fly in the 70s in a Porter as a young teenager in the Oriente jungles of Ecuador. They had the loving nickname of Machaca, which is the strangest-looking beetle you will ever see. Two of these were used to fly to outlying oilfields, which had some pretty rough strips. These planes are a joy to fly.
👌🖖🤩 Love your Vids, the Voice, the presentation. Relaxing, informative, entertaining. One suggestion... In description... DETAIL & LINKS to Scenery and Aircraft used would be perfect. Thanks. God Bless.
Need to get that plane. It's so ugly It's cool. 😄 Wonder why they don't seem to be able fix that the controls freezes when using freelook on the mouse.
I wonder if anyone knows what the rudder trim adjustment before takeoff is all about? Seems that it’s supposed to be adjusted into the green on the little dial - which is all the way to the right. Is that because of torque? I haven’t ‘flown’ this aircraft enough yet to be able to tell the difference.
@@AvAngel sometimes I wonder if these things really do anything (I know there was a switch on the Cessna 140 that did NOTHING)- I just ran a few test takeoffs and YES it seems to help! Thanks for the VERY quick answer- now if I could land the Porter without that dumb alarm going off every single time - wondering if it’s me or I have another add-on causing issues. I’ll figure it out. :)
Correction I think this was in Indonesia (other side of the island from PNG). But really cool this is what I have been doing in flight sim lately with the PC-6.
Hello AvAngel, It could be I did not listen your video precieze enough, but could you for my ease, tell which airstrip you landed on? I think it is really beautiful.
@@AvAngel O, I already see what you probably mean: it is one of the more detailed airports in MSFS, is that right? By the way and correct me if I am wrong, but this Bugalaga airstrip is in Papua, in Indonesia, not in Papua New Guinea (is a different country on the right side of Papua, Indonesia. But anyway a beautifull develloped version! I hope one of the flightsim.to devellopers will create some distinct Papua inland people, as well as some more bush local people in several other countries. Also goats, chicken and kids ;-)
Really enjoyed that flight Rachael and with my friend visiting me in hospital tomorrow I’ll get him to bring his laptop and X Box controller (I know, I know but it’s what he can bring) and have a go at this one! Take off was spicy and nicey! Landing well I’ve been there in Africa when I didn’t apply enough throttle to get up to parking and had the fun sight of a Kodiak been towed by a Toyota pick up! So I won’t give you any crap because you know what you did wrong and won’t do it again Just beautiful scenery and the quick go I had on my mates laptop made me truly truly hate my potato lol Your videos on this channel go from strength to strength, I really believe they are improving constantly and the starting standard you set was very high so huge congratulations love! I just love your bush flights and I dunno if it’s enough for a tutorial but one of the advanced techniques I learned for short field on river bank was to drag my wheels in the water, a lot harder than it sounds! I’d love to see your take on that one Thoroughly loving your content, I’ll catch up on those I missed I promise (I’m allowed my iPad for two hours at a time now) and can’t wait for more adventures Love you Rachael
@@AvAngel oh I look forward to seeing the kodiak! I have hundreds of hours on the kodiak! It’s an awesome plane that we used as a mobile hospital/clinic in Africa
Great vid! Do I understand correctly that you are an IRL pilot?… if so, Could you tell us more about your aviation experience/ratings? Nice self effacing and fun narration…real time?…methinks so…if not…you are a natural! Chas
Oh its entirely real time, I've done it that way my entire time, I find it a ton more natural than recording after. If I screw up I screw up, stuff it! My irl experience is just regular ol general aviation with tail wheel, nothing on top of that. Basic bitch me!

You forgot Mel Gibson, and where you were going. Wait til you're my age. I saw your YT notification, sat down, took a slurp of tea and watched 45 mins of legacy WWF wrestling videos before remembering I sat down to watch this.
The Working Title G1000's have a nice little keyboard icon in the field where you have to input the airport codes. If you click on it you can type the letters in with the keyboard which is soooo much nicer. ( but don't forget to click on the tiny tiny icon to turn OFF the keyboard input after you are done ) Can't wait for this plane to support the WT G1000
That airport's quite the challenge. The "Tony Hawk" or "Napoleon Dynamite" ramp makes it really unique. I've found that you need to find a sweet spot for both going up and down that incline for each aircraft. If you try to race down it too fast you can end up with your prop in the dirt ( ask me how I know :P ) and if you try to race up it too fast you can end up smacking the prop into the incline... or launching your self into the bushes. Good times. There's a part of me that wants to see what happens if you try to depart from this airport in an airliner just for the LOLs.
Oh god it would be memes! Yeah its a tricky one, its something I'd taxi down and accelerate after leaving the incline, for arrival, i needed to keep momentum, the prop couldn't drag enough air at that altitude after stopping.
@@AvAngel I've made the same mistake. It's probably against all the rules.. but since it's a turbine I just put her in reverse gear .. backed up about 2-3 plane lengths and just punched it.
Microsoft flight simulator does SO much better with trim than X-Plane. When I started flying MSFS, my grip on the controls immediately became so much lighter. Didn’t feel like I was having to wrestle the plane around the sky.
Which is funny because Xplane fans lord how its based around real aerodynamics, yet no plane feels as trim weird as xplane, the trim feel in microsoft's sims has always felt very similar to real aircraft.
The tricky thing with sloped runways is to remember on approach the runway will make you think you are approaching from higher than you really are. This can lead you to reducing power in an attempt to come in shallower, and when you attempt to flare you don’t have enough energy to match the slope. Keeping power in until the slope is matched, then reduce power will help, and getting used to that view of the runway.
@@mrmisterno1 looks like the condition lever went back to low idle when she retracted the flaps up for some reason. Hence the reduced climb performance!
Ah ok, lol, yeah no, I'm just trying to visit as many places as I can to bring you guys fun interesting bush flying along with the reviews and tutorials :D

One of my favourite places to fly since orbx made it pretty back in fsx… I fell in love with the province. Thank you for the kind words!
Yaaaay, PNG is one of my favorite places in the world to fly virtually. And that bird is so at home there! Thanks for the flight, cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I love catching your PNG episodes. You now have me hooked on bush flying.

Takeoffs are so much easier if you set the trim into the green bands before you launch - although way less entertaining :)
Wow! Could you fly in Styria?
👌🖖🤩
Love your Vids, the Voice, the presentation.
Relaxing, informative, entertaining.
One suggestion...

DETAIL & LINKS to Scenery and

Thanks. God Bless.
Why is there no Freeware for Xbox? Shouldn't Microsoft add their code and sale it on marketplace for under $5.00.
Lovely flight, thank you. Yes, Bugalaga is in Papua province, Indonesia (as opposed to Papua New Guinea).
Falling with style 😂😂 That’s cool ! Great video AvAngelski ! 👍🙏🏻👨✈️✈️😘
I always have fun with bush flying over PNG, I saved many flight plans because every flight, every approach and landing, they're a challenge
Hmmm. I wonder if I can fly a DC-3 into this place. Inspiring video!
Check out Missonary Bush Pilot compare it to this which is totaaaalllyyy Awesome as Usual AVAngel
Need to get that plane. It's so ugly It's cool. 😄
Wonder why they don't seem to be able fix that the controls freezes when using freelook on the mouse.
Nice choice, being friendly with your controller is a good advice. On other sims you don't want spoil the moment.
AvAngel, você é 10.
Fun little airport, great flying, awesome video. Thank you for the upload :)
I've just watched a video with an IRL Porter Pilot in New Guinea. He did a beta aproach into Omban (which is in the sim, just sayin')
yeah, this plane requires some real experience on it, it can do silly things then.
You didn't set rudder trim to green zone before taking off, thats why you have difficulty and dancing on a pedals, in real life that's a fatality...
Not a fatality, just difficult as hell. Keep forgetting this thing needs rudder trim, too many planes to fly!
Now I know why we don't normally see the copilot in the internal view.
It's creepy. That's why.
YUP!
I wonder if anyone knows what the rudder trim adjustment before takeoff is all about? Seems that it’s supposed to be adjusted into the green on the little dial - which is all the way to the right.

Yeah it is, it helps counteract the force imparted... I forgot :D

Hello AvAngel,
It could be I did not listen your video precieze enough, but could you for my ease, tell which airstrip you landed on? I think it is really beautiful.
Bugalaga, it’s the star airport on the east of the country
@@AvAngel O, I already see what you probably mean: it is one of the more detailed airports in MSFS, is that right?
By the way and correct me if I am wrong, but this Bugalaga airstrip is in Papua, in Indonesia, not in Papua New Guinea (is a different country on the right side of Papua, Indonesia.

Yeah I go for what the plane lets me... it said it wasn't going to climb so I shot the tree gap and hit the valley. There's a Kodiak coming soon too!
@@AvAngel oh I look forward to seeing the kodiak! I have hundreds of hours on the kodiak! It’s an awesome plane that we used as a mobile hospital/clinic in Africa
Amazing views
These approaches are what the beta in flight is good for. Still figuring it out myself.
Great flight!!

The sim looks so good, this turbo porter's interior looks a bit like the inside of an agricultural land rover, functionality over comfort .
"Because its such a short trip we don't have to worry about gas " is that why you opened that side door lol . Great video as always :-)
Yup, needed more drag :D
You forgot Mel Gibson, and where you were going. Wait til you're my age. I saw your YT notification, sat down, took a slurp of tea and watched 45 mins of legacy WWF wrestling videos before remembering I sat down to watch this.
My brain did a fart! :D
Looks like I need to find some time to do some more PNG flying! Currently spending most of my time in Alaska.
Taking advantage of the gorgeous sim to sample the back country all around the world! It's certainly worth it!
good take off missy i thought you was done for, :P
Always plan for a way out :D in this case, dive through that gap and make it clear.
@@AvAngel i watched your gee bee review,glad you liked it as this is my most wanted plane on series x,
That was one hell of a handing , I thought that was damn good considering that's supposed to be a runway .
Yeah a bit boingy but its a fun strip with a load onboard.

Yeah me too
Where do buy the aircraft? please list all the mods you use in the description! saves us a lot of time! great area to fly and great plane!
The only thing in this that is a mod is the Milviz Porter which I mentioned.
@@AvAngel Yeah I figured it out after searching. Thanks!

Hands down my favorite aircraft right now. Just wish it has a tiny meeny beeny less drag and a tiny meeny beeny more speed.
She's a boxy bird, so it's pretty accurate, speed is about where it would be, it gets many places, but nowhere fast :D

I'm pretty good with it normally, it's more a disconect with turboprops for me... I'm still not used to giving it power before i know i need it.
@@AvAngel Yes, anticipating the turboprop lag helps also. I think that all comes under the umbrella of always staying ahead of the aircraft.
You forgot to lock the tailwheel and trim rudder for takeoff before taking off :)
So not used to that yet
@@AvAngel Also I'm pretty sure you're supposed to leave the condition lever on high idle throughout the flight :)
@@mrmisterno1 looks like the condition lever went back to low idle when she retracted the flaps up for some reason. Hence the reduced climb performance!
isn't that West Papua, the Indonesian part?
Thought it was the east? I’ll have to look it up
@@AvAngel it's just Papua lol, I messed up but it is the Indonesian part
Can the TH-camrs stop flying to and from the same airport, what is going on, you collect moneybags there? 😂 😂
