No worries AJ, glad to help!

I'll be finishing the build this weekend I think, and producing a nice, shiny screenshot-laden document to help people get started. And there's the video of course.

If I get a chance I'll pop into work tomorrow to borrow my headset with built-in mic as my previous fixed-position mic met an unhappy end due to a combination of gravity, a wall and cheap plastic housing. Thanks Logitech.

I don't think the video will hold up the release of the build though... Stay tuned!

Cheers

James

Hi there,

 

I've posted an introduction /installation video to give you a preview of what this is going to look like whilst I get some last few checklists completed.

 

There will some additional SE (Single Engine) checklists added, based on good advice from the RW pilot acting as technical adviser. He has pointed out that whilst we get to grips with this wonderful aircraft we will no doubt experience those occasions (whether we like or not!) where we will be forced to limp home one one engine.... so once I get those extra checklists done it'll be ready for release.

 

In the meantime, enjoy!

Thanks very much! Glad you liked it.

I'll be working on part 2 tonight, which I'm hoping will get us to "Before Takeoff".

In between I'll be working on the other Single Engine checklists and getting them created, but the videos should keep you interested in the meantime!

Thanks for the support!

Cheers

Jimbo,  BE33 ....maybe?  :D   I know it is a lot of work. I recently narrowed my flying to 3 planes BE33, JS32 and CRJ2.   Excellent job, will keep an eye on that thread. Cheers, AJ

OK, I have read the whole Woweezowee story from the sidelines with avid interest as I have been suffering the exact same fate.  V. 1.01 of the aircraft worked a treat for me but from the start of v. 1.03 every time I load up the JS32 I get a double assignation of throttle.

 

I have a simple XP setup, I am on XP9 with Mac OSX and a Saitek X52 throttle and joystick, and have followed the aircraft's manual to the letter.  I have tried the various advice shown in this thread without any joy.  I have loaded up the aircraft with engines running as well as cold and dark with the same result.  I have even tried loading it into a demo version of XP10, again with exactly the same situation.

 

This is my joystick config for the default King Air 200:

The moment I load up the JS32 it switches to the following:

 

attachicon.gifScreen 2.jpg

 

What was the reverse thrust is now doubly assigned as the throttle.  As a result I cannot adjust the throttle of the aircraft using the X52 throttle (but I can by moving the reverse thrust lever!).

 

When I close out the JS32 by loading another aircraft (i.e. the default King Air) the faulty double assignation remains and I have to recalibrate my joystick settings - not an arduous task, but frustrating.

 

I have tried unplugging and replugging the joystick and even deleting the XP preferences folder but the problem remains.

 

At present the only way I can fly the aircraft is to activate (turn green) the JS32‘s Joystick Assign option on the control stick menu, reset the assignations in Settings/Joystick, Keys & Equipment menu and leave the JS32‘s Joystick Assign option green whilst I fly (if I change it back to orange the problem reoccurs).

 

Not an elegant solution but it’s all that is available.  As I say, it worked perfectly well in v. 1.01 and my preferences haven’t changed since upgrading to v. 1.03.

 

By the way, if I close the JS32 with the “corrected” joystick assignments and the Joystick Assign option green and load up another aircraft (e.g. the default King Air) I get the following result:

 

attachicon.gifScreen 3.jpg

 

A different double assignation of the throttle - this time on a "bar" that doesn't even correspond to any axis on my Saitek joystick.  Again I have to manually delete the double assignation to be able to fly that, or any other, aircraft.

 

Also if I disconnect the Saitek joystick altogether, fire up XP and then load up the JS32, the Settings/Joystick, Keys & Equipment menu of XP still appears to “recognise" that there is a joystick connected and yet again applies a double assignation to the throttle as follows:

 

attachicon.gifScreen 4.jpg

 

In this condition, if I use the mouse to click on the throttle in the 3D cockpit it won't budge.  I again have to click on the Joystick Assign option and turn it green before it will work.

 

I am therefore completely bemused by this.  I am also intrigued to know how Woweezowee managed to move the position of his 3rd party equipment axis assignations as this sounds as if it might be part of the problem.  XP automatically detects which Saitek axis movement is which “bar’ in the Joystick & Equipment menu and I cannot see how I can manually alter those settings.  I only have one joystick connected so cannot see how there might be a conflict.

 

Grateful for any advice.

 

 

Andy

Same Setup as Andy: x-plane 9, Mac OSX, saitek x52 , and the exactly the same issues. The only way to get the last version of JS32 in the air is Andys work flow.( Before every Flight set the axes new and turn never the Assign Axes Option back to amber). It is such a nice plane, but I wish I had the previous version back.

I like your taste for planes! Where did you get the B33?

It's up! Enjoy!

 

"X-Plane Bae Jetstream 32 Interactive Checklists - Aircraft Acceptance to Takeoff"

 

This is the second in a series of demonstration videos intended to show the installation and use of the interactive checklists I've built for use with Javier Rollón's Bae Jetstream 32 X-Plane aircraft - using "snailpup's" Checklister plugin to drive the checklists.

 


 

Cheers!
