Albatross IV Bow Ramp
« on: May 15, 2013, 16:54:41 »

I don't know if anyone knows this already, sorry if you do. I can't find a topic on it.

Today I noticed that the bow ramp on the Albatross IV can be lowered/raised.

I find it works better when you do it from the bridge, there is a meter next to the switch, click and hold the ramp button till the meter points fully upwards.

I see  :2thumbs: thank you very much I'll try that later. I used to do it from the outside view as I like to watch the ramps

You can still see it lowering, just change the view. It takes a long time to be fully lowered anyway.

There should also be a speed restriction for lowering the bow visor. I reckon it was less then 1 knots.

It's the crew that makes the difference
