Thank you for the clarification. Strangely after assigning: sim/flight_controls/pitch_trim_up_mech sim/flight_controls/pitch_trim_down_mech Mechanical, not servo. the default XP12 electric pitch trim controls also started to work :-)

Hi All, late to the party, but as they say, better late than never :-) I am finding it really "complex" to assign proper controls to the mixture in this DC-3... I was finally able to find a way to assign buttons in my T.16000 to Left and Right Mixture Lever Up/Down, but the Left and Right mixture pads I can't find them in the list of assignable functions? Another two problems I am facing and couldn't yet find how to properly solve are the assignment of pitch tri to the default XP12 pitch trim datarefs, as well as tailwheel lock toggle command available in default Xp12 list of commands... When I use it it doesn't work in the DC-3 :-/ Any hints / suggestions really welcomed !

Solved! They're Online ... Overview - Leading Edge Simulations DC-3 v2 (airfightergr.github.io)

Just installed the DC-3 v2 in XP12, browsed the aircraft folder looking for manuals, but found none :-( Where are they? Thx !

Ok, so the default plane comes with a fixed set payload/pax configuration? That's why couldn't find how to adjust pax and cargo through the XP12 loading screen ...

@Cameron, my fault for not reading the Manual :-/ I was totally unaware that THROTTLE 5 axis was the one to be used for proper throttle assignment for users with single throttle hardware axis. Thank you!

Hi, just installed and took it for a ride. I have a problem with the throttle levers not moving in the 3d cockpit, although at times they appear to be functional when I move my hardware throttle. The Prop levers do move.

When will v2 be released for XP12 ?

Thx Litjan. I understand it is not a "Must have"...

iXEG 737 Classic... Been looking at some videos. I noticed that when an engine fails inflight, or is shutdown, the readings on N1 and N2 drop to 0, there being no windmill effects ? Is the iXEG turbine model using the default XP10 turbine simulation ? I thought it used an external model ?

Just a side note. As Austin had told me yesterday, the just released 10.50r3 has also restored METAR D/L. Not sure about the wind & turbulence GRIBs...

Until 2019 both formats will co-exist. From there on, xml only. Anyway, this info pertains to the GTS ( WMO ) and I guess NOAA just makes it available to the public by "courtesy". I don't know what NOAA's plans are for this particular service. I'll try to find more and post here next week.

Well, I work at the Portuguese MetOffice ( @ LPPT ) who is the Portuguese member of WMO / ICAO for Aviation Weather. The info is based on the official WMO GTS circuits ( and other ) we use here for our mission. I do not know if NOAA will make available the xml version in the future, but their "Best Practices" document in the following link gives some hints: https://www.aviationweather.gov/dataserver/bestpractices

Further to this, I would like to add: 1) Austin confirmed adding the new servers to the next 10.50 update; 2) Starting January 2017, all METAR ( WMO - GTS ) dissemination will be text and xml based; 3) Starting January 2019, only xml based dissemination will be available ( WMO - GTS ). So, weather injector developers should start playing with the future syntax and query system, described at one of the links I posted above :-)

The download is apparently still possible from the altrenate URL: http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/cycles/
