Yes Vincent,

 

the LES cockpit layout is an "old" one, very interesting is the Autopilot, the historical "Sperry".

 

More information about the autopilot you can find here:

Hi, guys!

I don't know if I posted this in the right place or not, but I got a couple of feature requests for the dc-3 update: is it takes some time for the propellers to stop rotating after once I stop the engines (in the current version of dc-3, the propellers stop rotating too quickly when I stop the engines) & more functioning switches like the artificial horizon cage knob cage the artificial hoziron, more functioning switches on the overhead panel and more functioning switches on the main instrument panel. Thanks!

Cheers,

Vincent

Aside from bug fixes we do not anticipate expanding this aircraft any further.

Hmm, I'm disappointed and not just a little.

 

Sure, it was my fault to buy the DC-3 without having a look in the support forum. But as professional software developer, it's not my understanding of this job to sell software with well known annoying faults like the compass without any remark or hint on the product page itself.

 

After installation of the DC-3, I really fast discovered this thread, the questions and the answers from developer side. THAT was luck, then in the beginning I said to myself, well it will get a fix, let's buy the Saab-340 instead and have fun until the DC-3 works.

 

But this thread and your answers Goran/Cameron destroyed your most important capital: your credibilty.

From my point of view, you are overloaded with work and you are not familiar with standart procedures for software developement and quality assurance. Well no problem so far, but to say we don't give a date for a fix is slapping your customer direct into their face.

 

There's really no need to discuss the quality of the DC-3, its behavior or its look as long it's not useable for its purpose -> long distance flights. At the end, with your advertising you won me as customer, with your DC-3 compass story you have unsettled me and with your answers about a fix date you lost your credibilty.

Goran no matter if you bring the fix or if you don't do it, I won't buy anything more from you as it seems to be a high risk. The risk to buy a piece of buggy software, the risk, you are not in the mood or whatever to deliver a fix or to commit yourself to a date for a fix. The forum is full with bugs for each planes where you still not have answered. I found a thread, Goran answered: "I will check it today and write back" - that was in August. This brings miles between you and my understanding of the behavior of an IT professional.

 

Sorry to say, you have the potential to make great planes - but only the potential.

 

A very disappointed customer, and software developer itself in healthcare environment where your understanding of quality and intercourse with customers literally kill people.

 

Regards,

Marcel

Hallo Cameron,

 

I'm dissapointed too. More than in end of September. I want to remember to my post from 01. of October in this thread.

 

It's one month later, and it*s happened - nothing.

 

In August, so told us LES / X-Aviation, the update of the DC-3 should be come  "soon" and "very soon". What's happened? Nothing.

 

You are making very nice airplanes, but they are full of bugs - that's trueness.

 

And your customer service, the serving of updates or bugfixes is poor - that's trueness too.

 

I hope, we will get a update in this year 2013,

 

best greets

 

Dirk

Sorry you both feel this way.

We have been creating add-ons and publishing them, including updates since 2008.

There are many elements at play here to make this all work, and given your responses, very clear you do not understand that process (especially Marcel).

I definitely appreciate you airing your concern, however. That said, as our track record has always indicated, we will surely get out updates as they become available. To that extent, we have never failed.
