woweezowee Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Goran, you forgot the switch for the Beacon light. It works with my hardware, but there is no knob inside the cockpit.edit: also see the asi bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woweezowee Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 one more bug:HSI compass differs. Although you choose that it should not be adjustable. See screenshot, I am on HDG Hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 one more bug:HSI compass differs. Although you choose that it should not be adjustable. See screenshot, I am on HDG Hold.Are you flying in a crosswind that is coming from the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woweezowee Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 don't remember, but I'd say no. Was "light and variable" at the starting and ending point of the trip.And xplane usually corrects crosswinds only when flying with FMS/GPS. But I saw this bug often on other planes, too. there's a simple solution as far as I know (but that's all I know, not what the solution is).EDIT: Also, the GPS would tell the corrected course as "TRK".Definetaly a bug.

Goran_M Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Very unusual. I looked through the animations in the obj file and it all looks fine. I'll do a few experiments with different keyframes and values and see what happens when I test it.Re: the Beacon light. I'll check on that as well sometime today. I thought I added it. If not, it's a 5 minute job to add it. Just woke up and need my caffeine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo W Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Ok, tried downloading her now, but keep getting a message 'the provided username and password does not match or you have not purchased this product'. I've reset my pw and tried again, to no avail. I'm running the windoze installer after extracting with rar.My order no. is #2544, you guys know my previous issues so I hope this can be resolved quick. Let me if I have to contact X aviation in another way?Tasimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikced Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I really enjoy the Duchess so far but is there a way in X-plane to change the viewpoint in VC to move closer to the instrument and gauges? Several instruments are difficult to read.I fly using the latest iMac 21,5 with a resolution of 1920*1236 in full screen.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several instruments are difficult to read.I fly using the latest iMac 21,5 with a resolution of 1920*1236 in full screen.MikeGo to your Render Settings under the settings menu in the sim. About 2/3 the way down on the left, there is an option for FOV (Field of View). Larger numbers increase the field of view (more of the cockpit is visible) while a lower FOV does the opposite making it look like you are closer to the panel.I always use an FOV of 65 and modelled the panel around that figure making the HSI and VOR knobs accessible.Alternately, if you want to zoom in or move forward to read the Barometer setting (I'm assuming that's the gauge you are having trouble seeing), go to VC mode (CTRL+O) and either use the + or - keys to zoom in and out or PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN keys to move forward and back in the cockpit.

But yeah, I'm starting to hate the hassle with x-plane zooming in and out and panning views for that - you have to be precise, which can be hard in a climb or when landing.So no one answered, but I still like my idea:http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=1121.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will literally take 10 minutes to model, texture, keyframe, animate and export. Cameron should have the relevant files up fairly soon.

Goran_M Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Beacon Switch has been added, tested and is working. Duchess customers should get an email from Cameron soon with the relevant updates. Back to work on the Sundowner update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mueli Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I would just like to point out one minor bug: The front gear wheel does not touch the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I would just like to point out one minor bug: The front gear wheel does not touch the ground.Mueli, that MIGHT be an x plane thing. Set your runways to always be flat. Not to follow the terrain. See if that helps.Goran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mueli Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Goran, "runway follow terrain contours" is always disabled. But this issue is not so important for me because I spend most time on the pilot's seat If no one else has noticed it, it will not be necessary to fix it.
