Blue arc on the manifold pressure indicator and the tachometer indicates the power range in which you can use lean mixture. Irl caribou has automatic mixture. In the sim you can use thrustmeters to lean the mix.
The STOL indicator is controlled by the stall warning computers in the left equipment rack and has no pitot input and completely independent of the ASI
the famous dehavilland overhand controls. Interestingly, the dash 8 was DHCs first twin to not have them, and it was simply because it was much easier to rig the throttles that way than having them down low. Theres quite a few pilots out there with scars on their foreheads because of them.
I'll never forget my dad coming home with a bald spot and staples in his head! He had a great sense of humor, and said that he had an appointment with Dr. Frankenstein.

Funny question but do you know what rpm range these engines harmonize? Even tho its not simulated.
Thanks! Very useful!!
Awesome.
Plane is difficult to get around in the cockpit. Multiple views needed. No autopilot. I'll hold on this one although it's an interesting plane.
So basically, it is a Twotter pit on steroids 😁
Can’t see the point of the Garmin 430
My guess would be navigation, but that's just me.
