A little history小史

As Piper’s competitor to the Cessna 182 Skylane, the Piper Dakota evolves from the 1964 Cherokee 235, later known as the Charger and Pathfinder in the 1970s.作为伯尔的竞争对手向塞斯纳182 skylane ，伯尔达科他州的演进从1964年切诺基235 ，后来被称为充电器和探路者在20世纪70年代。 First entering production in 1979, the Dakota features the improved “semi-tapered” wing of the Warrior and Archer II, a more aerodynamic cowling, and an improved Lycoming O-540 J3A5D engine of 235 Hp.首先进入生产在1979年，达科他州的特点改进的“半圆锥”联队的勇士和阿彻二，一个更气动罩，和一种改进的莱康明O型540 j3a5d引擎235马力。 The result is a plane that features a 143 Kt cruise speed, and the true ability to top off the fuel tanks, fill the seats with four adults and cruise for some 700 nm.结果是，飞机的特点1一百四十三克拉巡航速度，和真实的能力，顶端小康油缸，填补席位与四名成人和巡航导弹为约700纳米。

The aircraft飞机

Of course, you also get the Piper Dakota itself.当然，您也可以得到该伯尔达科他州本身。 But not just any old Piper Dakota.但不只是任何旧伯尔达科他州。 This is no less than a model of the aircraft part-owned by Lou Betti - the founder of Dreamfleet!这是不得少于模型飞机的一部分，国有，由娄贝蒂-的创始人d reamfleet！ This should give you some clue as to how they’ve achieved the amazing level of detail in the model.这应该给你一些线索，至于如何，他们已经取得了令人惊叹的详细程度，在模型中。 Also, I’m sure the designers have gone that extra mile to make sure it’s “just right”此外，我敢肯定的设计者已经额外英里，以确保它的“恰恰好”

The aircraft in question is a 1980 Piper Dakota, registration N8086N, flown out of it’s base in New Jersey.这架飞机的问题是， 1980年伯尔达科他州，登记n8086n ，飞到了它的基地在新泽西州。

Lou with his pride and joy楼与他的自豪感和喜悦

First impressions第一印象

I’ll start off with a few external screenshots.我将开始与数外部画面。 I reckon you’ll spend a fair amount of time looking at the aircraft from outside, if for no other reason than it’s utterly gorgeous!据我估计，您将花费相当多的时间来看，飞机从外地，如果没有其他原因，比它的根本华丽！ I defy anyone to come up with a better produced external model of any aircraft on any simulator. i藐视任何人想出了一个更好的外部制作模型的任何飞机在任何模拟器。

As you can see, the attention to detail is second to none.正如你可以看到，注重细节是首屈一指的。

The Dakota defaults to a 2-prop configuration, but the built-in editor can, amongst many other things, instantly change this to a 3-prop variant.达科他默认为1 2 -版权配置，但是内置在编辑器可以，其中包括许多其他事情，立即改变这种一3 -版权变异。

Time to step inside时间加强内

Not only do you get the beautifully detailed external model, but you also get 2D and 3D panels that are almost without fault.您不仅获得精美详细的外部模型，但您也可以得到二维和三维板，几乎是无过错。 Dreamfleet has had a long association with Reality XP and have used their gauges to tremendous effect in past add-ons. dreamfleet已久协会与现实XP和他们用装上了巨大的影响，在过去的加载项。 The Dakota is no exception and comes complete with Reality XP versions of the Garmin GNS430 GPS and their Flight Line T gauges, complete with dimmable backlighting in both 2D and 3D cockpits that simply must be seen to be believed.达科他也不例外，和完整的符合实际的XP版本的高明gns430全球定位系统和飞行路线吨计，完成与可调光背光，在双方的二维和三维的驾驶舱，只必须被视为相信。

The inclusion of the Flight Line T gauges ensures a smoothness to the gauges movement that will have you convinced that you’re watching the real thing.列入飞行路线吨计，确保畅通到仪表运动，将有你确信您正在浏览的真正的事。

The initial 2D panel view shows the maximum number of instruments and is ideal for IFR flight.最初的二维小组视图显示的最大数目的文书和是理想的飞行航班。 The 2D panel comes in no less than 3 different resolutions to suit your monitor resolution and aspect ratio (all the screenshots here are using the maximum resolution widescreen version).二维小组来在不得少于3种不同的决议，以配合您的显示器分辨率和高宽比（所有画面在这里所使用的最大解析度宽萤幕版） 。

A click on the dashboard changes the panel to one more suited for take-off and landing, or if you just want more of an external view out front. 1按一下仪表板的变化小组，以1更适合采取的起飞和着陆，或如果你只是希望有更多的外部检视了前线。

Switching to the 3D view, you’re left with no less detail than afforded by the 2D panel, so I imagine this is were most owners will spend their time.切换到3D视图，您留下不低于详细比所提供的二维小组，所以我想象，这是被大多数业主会动用他们的时间。 All of the click-spots are available in the VC, so there really is no great reason to go back to the 2D panel unless you happen to like the view.所有的点击点，都可以在VC的，所以实在是没有太大的理由要回去的二维小组，除非你发生一样的看法。

Flight Time飞行时间

Time to fire up the engine and you’re greeted with possibly the best sound-set on any FS9 aircraft ever created.时间到了消防引擎和您迎接可能是最好的声音上设置任何fs9飞机以往任何时候都创建。 That’s quite a claim, I know, but once you hear it, you’ll know what I mean.这是相当索赔，我知道，但一旦你听到它，你就会知道我的意思。 Thanks to the Configuration Control utility, you can choose between “Realistic” internal sounds (it sounds the way it would if you were wearing headphones) or “Unrealistic” (which is as it would sound without headphones).感谢配置控制公用事业，您可以选择之间的“现实”内部的声音（听起来方式，它将如果您都穿着耳机）或“不切实际” （这是因为它将健全，没有耳机） 。 I’m almost tempted to stick with Unrealistic because it sounds so good我几乎诱惑，坚持不切实际的，因为它听起来那么好

The aircraft handles well on the ground, responding quickly to rudder inputs as you would expect from an aircraft of this size.飞机的处理，以及在地面上，迅速作出反应，向舵的投入，如你期望从飞机这种规模。

Rolling onto the runway and gently applying full throttle gently lifts the aircraft into the air.滚动到跑道上，轻轻的应用，充分油门轻轻升降机飞机到空气中。 Once airborne, the aircraft has a feeling of slight heaviness to it, which is again what you would expect.一旦空降，飞机有轻微的感觉头重脚轻给它，这又是什么，你会期望。 I’ve only ever had 2 real flying lessons, and one of them was in a relation to the Dakota - a PA-28 (G-SUZN to be precise) and the feeling of hand flying the Dakota is very similar.我只是过2真正的飞行经验教训，其中一人是在一个关系到达科他州-的P A- 2 8（克- s uzn要精确）和的感觉，另一方面飞行达科他州是非常类似。

The autopilot is an interesting one.自动驾驶仪是一个有趣的一个。 You’ve got the RealityXP GNS430 GPS, which can be tied to the S-TEC 30, allowing you to fly the aircraft automatically in a number of modes.您已获得realityxp gns430全球定位系统，它可以挂钩的S - tec 30 ，让您飞的飞机自动在一些模式。 The first setting (ST) is basically a wing leveller.首次设置（圣）基本上是一个永平。 HD (Heading) mode will track the heading defined on the HSI.房屋署（标题）模式将跟踪标题界定对恒指。 TRK LO (Track) is NAV mode and will follow the course set on the GPS and TRK HI is Localiser mode. trk路（轨迹）是资产净值的模式，并会按照课程设置上GPS和trk喜是localiser模式。 There’s also an altitude hold switch just under the S-TEC 30 and this is where I can find the only slight problem I came across whilst reviewing the aircraft and it’s only a minor one.也有一海拔Hold开关刚才下的S - tec 30日，这是我可以找到唯一的小问题，我碰到的同时，检讨飞机和它的唯一一个小一。 When in the VC, the control yoke hides the altitude hold switch.当在VC的，控制的枷锁隐藏海拔Hold开关。 So, to get at it, you need to either switch back to the 2D cockpit, or hide the yoke in the VC, flip the switch, then re-enable the yoke.因此，要获得它，您需要要么切换回二维座舱，或隐藏的枷锁，在VC的，翻转开关，然后重新启用的枷锁。

As part of the review, I took the Dakota on one of my favourite GA flights from Walney Island to Carlisle, which takes you right across the Lake District.作为审查的一部分，我采取了达科他州的一个我最喜爱的遗传算法的航班从walney岛的卡莱尔，需您的权利，全国湖泊区。 I hand flew the Dakota to and altitude of 4,500 feet, then enabled altitude hold and set NAV mode on the autopilot. i ，另一方面飞行达科他州和海拔四五〇 〇英尺，然后使高空举行，并定为资产净值的模式对自动驾驶仪。 This gave me time to admire the magnificent view using the tremendous visibility available from the cockpit.这给了我时间去欣赏壮丽景色用巨大的能见度，可从驾驶舱。

This also demonstrated the ability of the NAV system to track the GPS course.这也体现的能力，资产净值系统来追踪的全球定位系统的过程中。 I felt the autopilot generated turns were a little steep.我觉得自动驾驶仪产生的转折是一个小陡坡。 However, having never flown the aircraft in question in real life, I can’t say this is inaccurate.不过，从来没有飞到飞机的问题在现实生活中，我不能说这是不正确的。

After clearing the Lake District, I disengaged the altitude hold and started a gradual decent to 2,500 feet, ready to approach the airfield.结算后湖地区，我脱离高原举行，并开始逐步体面，以二五○○英尺，准备的做法，机场。 The aircraft is stable and predictable in all aspects of flight.飞机是稳定和可预见的各方面的飞行。 Once I’d visually spotted Carlisle, I disengaged the autopilot completely and hand-flew the Dakota on two notches of flaps to a gentle and precise landing, raised the flaps and taxied to the gate.有一次我要在视觉上发现卡莱尔，我脱离完全自动驾驶仪和手持式飞行达科他州的两个缺口皮瓣，以温和的和精确的登陆，提出了皮瓣和taxied到门。

Dreamfleet Manager dreamfleet经理

DreamManager is the replacement for the old Text-O-Matic aircraft manager and is installed along with the documentation and aircraft. dreammanager是更换旧的文本-邻专题飞机经理和安装随文件和飞机。 Effectively, at this stage, it’sa repaint manager.有效，在这个阶段，这是repaint经理。 There are already a number of liveries available from the Dreamfleet2000 web site.已经有一些liveries可从dreamfleet2000网站。

By default, the package installs 3 paint schemes for you.默认情况下，包将安装3涂料的计划给你。 The current paint scheme, an “old and dirty” version of the same, and a variant with registration N236PD, which represents a possible future paint scheme for the real aircraft.目前涂料的计划， “老和肮脏”的版本一样，一个变种，与登记n236pd ，代表了未来可能的涂料计划，真正的飞机。

Dreamfleet are currently working on a free Piper Turbo upgrade, which wasn’t available at the time of writing this review. dreamfleet目前正致力于对一个自由的伯尔的Turbo升级，这是不具备的时候，以书面形式进行这项检讨。 Also coming up is a Flight Simulator X version, which again will be free for anyone purchasing the FS9 version reviewed here.也即将是一个飞行模拟器X版本，再次将免费提供给任何人购买fs9版本在这里进行检讨。

Performance性能

Despite the inclusion of the RealityXP suite of gauges, the aircraft has no detrimental effect on the performance of the simulator.尽管列入该realityxp套件，仪表，飞机并没有产生不利影响的表现模拟器。 I have FS9 locked at 30FPS, and it only ever dipped down from the 30 at highly detailed airports, which would’ve been the case even in the default Cessna’s.我fs9锁定在30帧，它只是以往任何时候都下跌，从30日在非常详细的机场，这将一直如此，甚至在默认的塞斯纳的。

I tested the aircraft on a 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro with 2Gb RAM and a 256Mb nVidia 8600 video card.在我所测试的飞机对一的2.4 GHz的MacBook Pro与2 GB的RAM和256MB的NVIDIA的8600视频卡。

Conclusion结论

This is one outstanding aircraft.这是一个优秀的飞机。 I thought long and hard before writing this bit, but I have to say it.我以为漫长而艰辛才写这本位，但我要说的。 I believe the Dreamfleet 2000 Piper Dakota is the best aircraft add-on for any simulator so far produced.我相信dreamfleet 2000年伯尔达科他州是最好的飞机新增-对任何模拟器，至今产生的。 Now, that’sa grand and bold statement to make, but let’s look at the facts:现在， that'sa大和大胆的声明作出，但让我们看看事实：

• A flawless external model 1完美无瑕的外部模型
• A perfect sound set一个完善健全的设置
• Beautifully detailed 2D and 3D cockpits with the most perfect night lighting I’ve ever seen精美，详细的二维和三维的驾驶舱与最完美的夜间照明我从未见过
• Precise handling on the ground and in the air精确的处理对地面和空中的
• Fantastic feature set (RealityXP gauges etc)神奇的功能设定（ realityxp压力表等）
• Excellent value (the entire add-on costs less than the RealityXP gauges would cost you)良好的价值（整个加载的成本低于realityxp压力表将您的成本）
• Free upgrades - a new Turbo variant and a free FSX upgrade免费升级-一种新的汽轮发电机组变异和一个自由f sx升级

If that wasn’t enough, they even offer a 30 day money back guarantee.如果这是不够的，他们甚至提供了30天的退款保证。 Having said that, I think they’re offering that pretty safe in the knowledge that nobody will take them up on it!话虽如此，我认为他们正在提供这相当安全的知识，没有人会采取他们对！

I’ve “flown” hundreds, if not thousands, of add-on aircraft for many simulators over the past 20 years.我已经“飞行”数百人，如果没有数千，添加-在飞机上很多模拟器在过去20年。 None has given me the closest feeling to actually being there than the Dakota.无给了我最亲密的感觉，其实正有比达科他州。

If you’re a GA fan, go buy it now.如果您是遗传算法范，到现在购买。 In fact, even if you’re not a GA fan, go buy it now anyway and see how it should be done.事实上，即使您不是遗传算法范，到现在购买无论如何，看看如何，它应该做的事。
