What are the weather conditions? Hot? Cold? Humid? Dry? ISA? Also, the take off roll has been verified by a DC-3 pilot as being "Pretty accurate, give or take a couple of feet".

Very curious. Your log.txt file has no mention of Gizmo running anywhere, indicating you have either removed the Gizmo folder or somehow installed the DC-3 without Gizmo. If you removed the Gizmo folder, then your manipulators will not work at all. No matter what FOV or POV you have. Replace the Gizmo folder or reinstall the DC-3 and all should be fine.

You don't need to adjust your FOV. The way you move the fuel selector depends on your POV. If the fuel selector is between you and the co pilot side of the cockpit (so, you are, in effect, up against wall on the left side of the cockpit), you need to drag the fuel selector towards you or away from you. If the fuel selector is between you and the main panel, you need to drag it left and right.

There's no POV (Point of View) setting. I think you're thinking about FOV (Field of View) which is adjustable.

It's unlikely this will be added to the Saab, but we might add it to the Citation.

Closed.

It's good to see it being made available now.

If you modify something in the flight model without our knowledge and something "breaks", and we don't know about your modifications, it makes it almost impossible to help you with whatever problems you are experiencing if the problems have occurred as a result of your modifications. I've seen it before, and the person who made the modifications comes out after 3 or 4 days and says "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I changed a few figures in the flight model." When this happens, it takes time away from our daily lives, whether it's from enjoying time with our families or working on updates and future projects. And that's time we can't afford to lose.

For the oil pressure fix, please see this post You will not void support as this fix was approved by X-Aviation.

I never said a developer should "not be allowed" to sell liveries. I think you're taking my statements to a place they were never meant to go. Other developers can do whatever they wish. I simply do not agree with the practice. Call it an act of good will between the developer and the customer. Giving something for free when it COULD be charged for. A way of saying "Thank you for purchasing my product!" I'd much rather have someone say "Wow, they provided all those liveries for FREE?" rather than saying "Oh well, we have to pay for the extra liveries." It's just a personal preference. That's a very good question.

It's not really a hard concept to grasp. If it doesn't make sense to you, then feel free to continue supporting the idea. I simply don't agree with it.

I don't like the idea of an aircraft add on developer charging extra for liveries. If a livery specialist, such as McPhat, or yourself, decided to start making liveries of a payware quality, well, that's a completely different story and I have always supported that branch of development.

I remember the very first developers to start charging for liveries was PSS (FS2002) and they got crucified for it.

Let's just say that's not something I believe a developer should do.

Wait...you have to PAY for liveries???

We have a compass update coming out very shortly. The light dimmer will be included in that update, along with the Saab update.

Wow. What a thread to wake up to. Another case of "damned if you do and damned if you don't". You uninstalled the Saab because the update isn't out yet??? That's a little drastic, don't you think? I know developers who take 6 months to get an update out and not one complaint was seen in the forums. Shame, but, your choice.

Pete! I never got the email. Probably went straight to my spam folder, as you know I would have replied. Shows how much I check youtube and other forums. I think I need to do so...a lot more. Throw me another email or PM through these forums, and we can pick it up from there.

I would be more than happy to hear this frooglesim guy out. He comes across as a very nice guy. Before today, I'd never even heard of him, so watching a good chunk of his videos would give me better insight into what he's all about. The only questions I have is why did he stop at 3 developers? Which developers did he ask and which Publishers did he ask?

He asked 3 developers? That's it?? I'd be curious to know which ones.

Paint kit is found here. Any repaints made must be supported by the painter. You are free to distribute the repaints in any forum you wish. The painter is not to charge for repaints unless they contact X-Aviation or an LES developer.

I'm no expert on the DC-3 (It's been about 18 months since we finished it), but going from memory, ideally set the power levers to about 75% and the mixture to slightly "lean of peak". Prop Levers can be set to full forward and altitude to about 20 000 feet. If any DC-3 afficianado's would like to correct me, the floor is yours. I can dig up some old doc's and see what I can find.

I can make it fly longer, but that would mean altering the flight model, resulting in unrealistic performance. You realize you COULD just open the fuel and payload screen in the sim and "fill up" the fuel tanks while flying?
