[[SOLVED] When Crashing In The Sea]

Well you are all absolutely correct. At first I found it impossible to replicate but just now I was messing around in the T34c [in 3D] and it happened again. It was a lot of fun having the developer's permission to smash-up his aircraft though! I suppose we'll just have to wait for Austin to pull his f****** finger out with XP10 [where there's bound to be a whole load of new bugs]. Arno, you could give him a phone call and offer to help if he's having so much trouble getting it out! So, thanks everyone, and to you Arno, problem RESOLVED [i'm just hoping I'm able to install the update- I'm hopeless at all that fiddly stuff].

[[SOLVED] When Crashing In The Sea]

Hi K+A,This might be just me as no one else has reported, but when I crash in the sea, the screen goes black and I have to shut-down/restart the computer. If I go back to XPlane after this it opens up with the plane I had loaded before the T28, as if the flight with the T28 hadn't happened. I am absolutely loving this plane; the instructor modes were a brilliant idea and have added a new dimension to the Sim. I do hope that lots of other people purchase the T28 not just because they would otherwise miss out on a cracker, but also to motivate you to greater innovations. I don't really follow all the forums; can you tell me what you're working on now for next releases? Oh. by the way, I'm using a 27" Mac with OSX 10.6.7. PLEASE make the instructions for installing the update simple because I'm useless with all that.........

[[SOLVED] Mode Menu not visible]

Thanks Cameron, Problem solved. I had in fact run the installer but specified "Gen Aviation" instead of "X-Plane". I had misunderstood the instruction -"Do not select an aircraft folder" to mean "Do not select T28c". What also threw me was the confirmation that "set-up has finished installing North American T28c on your computer"[it hadn't]. Nice thing now is that the weird pink lighting has vanished; it was a bit "red-light district Amsterdam"-eccentric even by Arno's standards. Anyway I've found the most convenient way to get rid of the engine overheating warnings is to ditch in the sea. I can see I'll have hours of fun with this one. Thank you again for the prompt response Cameron and for hosting Arno/Khamsin's work.

[[SOLVED] Mode Menu not visible]

Hi Arno,Great plane -thanks for this and all your work for X-Plane. My question is that when I load the T28 the Mode Menu doesn't appear. The loading process seems a little different from normal too. The file path is -Open Aircraft/ General Aviation/ T28c which then gives a choice DIST or SETUP OSX.APP. I click on DIST which gives me C400/GIZMO/GIZMOLIBRARYMAC/OAL/PTHREADS/SHRINKWRAP. I click on C400 which gives me T28c which gives me AIRFOILS/COCKPIT/LIVERIES/MANUAL/OBJECTS/SCRIPTS/SOUNDS/T28cloaded.acf/T28c.acf/WEAPONS. Clicking on either T28c loaded acf or T28c.acf loads the aircraft but the Mode Menu appears in neither. I'm not sure if its relevant but when I loaded the plane for the first time I wasn't asked for verification ie.E-Mail and Password which I was expecting......Also I should mention I'm using XPlane 9.62 on OSX 10.6.7. Please bare in mind with any reply that I'm a "computer incompetent". All the best and " Top o' the morning to you"!!!

[Problem tuning ADF and VOR with Mentor T34c update 1.1]

Javier....Thanks so much for responding. On your advice, I opened X-Plane, clicked Plugins/Plugin Admin/Enable-Disable but all I could see were the two plugins I use-Checklister and Pilotview; no sign of Mentor [ panic ! ]. However I couldn't resist a quick circuit and before closing-down thought I'd check the plugins again. There it was!!! Mentor so I clicked a few times to get the green tick to enable, checked the radios and yes they now tune. So yes it was a bit fiddly [especially for someone as inept with computers as me] but problem solved. Once again Javier thank you for the acf. and for your backup and patience.

[Problem tuning ADF and VOR with Mentor T34c update 1.1]

Hi Javier, I've just got round to updating the T34 which is easily my favourite acf. Unfortunately now I find that the manipulators do not change the numerals on the VOR and ADF radios -they worked correctly before the update. In the notes to the update you say that the radios can now be tuned "normally": I don't know what that means -when I click over the manipulators I get the circle arrows with + and -[ as before ] but when I drag, the manipulators move but the numbers don't change. This occurs on both the Lukasz and JRollon models and on my backup file. I'm using XP 9.62 on a Mac OSX 10.6.7. My order number is 3399. Javier this is a fantastic acf. and if you ever considered a further update my only suggestion would be that the engine noise gets louder when the canopy is open....enhorabuena! y no se ponga demasiado pepino con la hambuguesa.

[Programming Hotkeys for PilotView]

Could anyone give me "simple to understand" instructions on how to set up hotkeys for PilotView Plugin. I've set-up 8 fantastic views of the T34c Mentor, which has fast become my favourite, and it would be far more convenient to use my number keys 1234...78 than the control panel. I have honestly searched the threads on the ORG and Sandy's instructions but find no easily accessible instructions- I'm not a Techy Wizzkid. Using XP9.62 on an IMac. I'm posting here because it seems less intimidating than the Org- don"t bite my head off!
