ViNiL Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Hello, do you plan to release 32bit version, too? Because of other plugins, I am stuck with 32bit X-Plane and a 64bit aircraft is useless for me. Edited August 13, 2013 by ViNiL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hello,do you plan to release 32bit version, too? Because of other plugins, I am stuck with 32bit X-Plane and a 64bit aircraft is useless for me.No, we do not plan to release for 32-bit. The libraries we use are 64-bit only. If you have plugins that rely on 32-bit we encourage you to nudge the developer about it (including VATSIM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViNiL Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well, that is funny, but not entirely realistic.It seems that the most of the other developers decided to provide options to their customers -- not a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you feel that way. Your 32-bit version will continue to work until you are ready. We cannot be held accountable for actions of other developers not willing to move forward. The customer base spoke loud and clear each and every day in our inboxes as to what they wanted. We literally do not have an option for 32-bit. It doesn't exist for us in the plug-in version we needed. There's really not much else to say on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wim1976 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well it seems not that difficult to me at all. Install two copies of X-Plane in the first copy install DC3 version 1.1 (32-bit) with all your other 32-bit stuff and in the second copy of X-Plane enjoy the 64-bit versions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have flown in one a number of times during my childhood (first plane I ever flew in in 1961 ... actually, I think it was 1959).

pryoski Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Lovely plane Goran! The feel, the sound, the immersion .. the whole package .. just awesome! Thanks I applied the tail dragger mod (I'm a purist!), which worked however I noticed that when I did that the Oil flap lever was performing complete 360 degree rotations (the lever with the 'O' located just forward of the Prop levers on the throttle quadrant). I'll see if I can duplicate this effect again tonight and will update. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Unusual. Please post again when you try it tonight.If anyone else can confirm this, please let us know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryoski Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi Goran ... I'm happy to report that it all works now (scratching head! ).I have no idea why it was doing the rotation thing last night ... but right now its peachy!This is a FANTASTIC aircraft (have I already said that?), but I'm definitely going to have to do a wee bit of research as I seem to do a propeller strike every time I land! @ first I thought I'd forgotten to drop the gear, but that isn't so!

iandiss Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hi Goran, Tried to taxy then take off on both gravel and grass but the old beast would not move an inch. Any ideas on what could cause this. (Brakes were off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Tell the airport to get rid of the excess gravel or mow the lawn. I'll have a look at it and see what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marconius Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi,I just bought and downloaded the DC-3 from the X-Aviation Website. How do I know if I got version 1.0 or version 1.2? I still have the oil pressure bug and don't know if I should try and correct values in Planemaker as suggested... ? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marconius Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thank You for Your fast reply! Oil pressure was still way too high when starting the DC-3 at Quick-flight so I just adjusted the values as suggested in Plane Maker. Hope it'll work now.

Vinny003 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi, Marconius!I got some advice for you. Since the dc-3 product is like the Saab 340A product, I wouldn't go into plane-maker and mess with the dc-3 values settings because you'll certainly render the dc-3 useless and certainly void the support!! Cameron posted this advice in the Saab 340A section of this forum. If you got a problem with dc-3, it is better to wait for the dc-3 update than to mess with the dc-3 values settings in plane-maker. I got a feeling that the plane-maker should only be used by the programmers and developers. Thanks! Cheers, Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
