andyw248 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 What kind of avionics will it come with? ADF and one VOR, but no ILS?
Goran_M Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Posted December 24, 2011 Very simple avionics. 2 Nav Radios, 2 comm radios, 2 ADF's and a Transponder. All on the overhead panel. I've had to change the overhead radio panel from the earlier render I posted because the windows for the frequencies were too small to read. So I found another radio panel from the period that is much easier to read. On the main panel, an RMI for the Left side that tunes to ADF 1 and NAV 1 and the right side will tune to Nav 2 and ADF 2. Marker Beacon indicator lights. Sperry Autopilot that has a heading hold function and a pitch hold function. No ILS. ILS is for whimps!

Hueyman Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 .. Happy new year baby Dakota, hope you'll see the sun soon ;-)
Hueyman Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 I believe, I admit I just CAN'T hold my patience anymore ! It was hard before but now.. I'll try to stay calm and nice though
Xflyboy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 @James,It's the ONE aircraft I've really been waiting for, the Saab & Beaver will round out my fleet.I'm hoping not to much longer for the DC3, I'm wearing the floor boards out.
Hueyman Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Yes.. I hope before January end.Yes, the Beaver, this one and the future Huey are my most anticipated release for 2012 ( I hope ! ) Edited January 4, 2012 by James Hetfield
Goran_M Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 A small update to keep you informed. Night lighting is being worked on. We still have a few panel regions to take care of for the radios.Manual is half way done and then testing. If things go smoothly, with no other problems, it will definitely be this month.
Ntr09 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks for the update! Looking forward to this as much as any!-NR
Hueyman Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Oh man.. awesome video !Please Leading Edge, don't miss that Legendary Aircraft, I really hope ( and I'm convinced you will !! ) that every part will be precisely modelled such cowl flaps, flaps, nose shape, different hinges, prop hub & blades, landing gear, sounds, flight model, procedures etc..If it will, that will be a best seller, there aren't actually any serious DC-3 around for both leading sims, nor X-Plane or FSX, the MAAM DC-3 is old now and avaible DC3 for X-Plane are just old too..I keep praying to see it modelled in what I call " a Leading Edge level ", the most perfect thing among airplanes devs..
Nicola_M Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Make that a sale from me too when it's out, Goran. Been looking for a large taildragger.
C47 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Great work boys!Any textured external view to show? (just curious).
Goran_M Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 Nothing external just yet. A few things need to be fixed. Theo wants to work on night lighting first and get that out of the way (looks incredible so far, btw) and then he'll make some fixes to the externals, and then I'll throw some more screenshots up.
Hueyman Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Any shots you'll give us will be like a big Breathe !! ;-)Keep up the good work Goran, you're the man
Goran_M Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 Night lighting is getting a few fixes. Once it's completely done, then I'll post something.
Goran_M Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) New night lighting screenshot. Edited January 15, 2012 by Goran_M
eaglewing7 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Gotta love the old lighting systems.You guys happen to be dabbling in radium paints? That stuff was widely used to make luminescent dials and markings on instruments.I actually have three different compasses from World War Two, all of which are supposed to contain radium based markings. Of course the radium is no longer luminescent, but it is said to still be somewhat radioactive...
Goran_M Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) We're choosing things that would be authentic and look "nice". Edited January 16, 2012 by Goran_M
Gjalp Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Well you picjed very well These are fantastic.....no more words can describe what I am seeing!!!!!Slainte,AndyNZCH
eaglewing7 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 We're choosing things that would be authentic and look "nice".No question about it, the lighting looks excellent.My reference to radium was purely because I've always loved the way the old steam gauges were luminescent, or lit by small dome lights.
