I'll have a look and see what I can do with it.

No money? Bummer. How about you come over to my house and mow my lawn, feed my dog, pick up my dogs shit, take out my garbage, vacuum my house and wash my car. If you do all that, I'll buy you Peter Hagers A380. I think that's a GREAT deal.

Sure Ben. Here you go...

Isn't that how they did ILS approaches in the 1940's?

thanks a lot! Update already with the Beacon light switch? (that's not so important, actually). Beacon light switch is easy. Haven't done it yet. But it will literally take 10 minutes to model, texture, keyframe, animate and export. Cameron should have the relevant files up fairly soon.

Red tools are for something I plan on adding later. I was wondering when someone was going to ask me about them.

Go 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.

Sent you an email, Simon.

Heading Bug bug (lol?) has been fixed. I've contacted Cameron and a new file will be available very soon. Hopefully in the next few hours.

HA! That's exactly why I locked it at 200. I gave it that 6 kt buffer. BTW, as Jacoba said, the only way you can get that kind of speed in the sim is if you were in a steep dive (minus the hurricane...LOL)

Replacing the GPS with the Reality XP one will be a big hack job. The GPS in the Sudowner atm is a 3D mesh with a mapped GPS screen. To get full functionality out of a reality x p version, you would need to add panel regions and reload them. Not a small job.

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.

May I ask why you are flying the Duchess at 200 kts? It's not really a bug. I programmed the gauge to stop at 200kts. With the ASI dataref, the needle needs somewhere else to go if the airspeed continues to climb. Since I locked it at 200kts, it starts reversing. Easily fixed but I just never thought people would take it that fast.

Are you flying in a crosswind that is coming from the right?

At this time, the doors do not open. It was a choice I made to keep the exterior as smooth as possible. Cutting a door out would have made quite a few mesh problems as it is a high polygon exterior mesh.

FIXED. apologies

Just a small tutorial to get you started using radio navigation from Sydney to Canberra. If there are any questions, please feel free to post them. http://users.tpg.com.au/captaing//Duchess_Tutorial.pdf Goran

Yes. "Cabin Air Blower On" on the lower panel where all the misc switches are. Clicking that clickspot will toggle the yokes on and off. Goran

Brilliant. Cheers

Thanx Ola. Appreciate that. For those of you having problems viewing the document, I used a different converter. Please try the link again to download. http://users.tpg.com.au/captaing//LES_Beech_Duchess_POH.pdf

Very nice screenshots. I've noticed a few screenshots where people are flying with the tacho at redline. I think I'll write up a tutorial today to show you how to fly a Constant Speed prop aircraft. Maybe throw in some navigation stuff with the HSI too.

I'll be looking into this today, guys. Again, apologies. But it's a big mystery. Goran

Thanks rush. Please enjoy.

Cool, thanks Jim. It's certainly puzzling why Markus is having problems with it.
