[v2.5: Flaps and Tablet Issues]

I have programmed to release the update in a few weeks.

[No Blower in this model?]

Not clear what you are asking. May be you mean if the R-1830-S1C3-G has a blower or has a 2-speed blower?

This engine has a single speed (7.15:1 ratio) blower. So no controls to select speed. Later Twin Wasps (R-1830-92 I think) used in C47s had a 2-speed blower.

Hey there,

I am also interested in this update. Not storing the settings is pretty anoying to me. Is it already available? Maybe I missed it.

best,

Stephan

The update postponed to include X-Plane's 12.2.0 important changes. Now it is matter of finding some time to finish it.

[Taxi the DC-3 w/o pedals]

I’ve tried enabling "Control differential braking with rudder" in settings, but it still doesn’t work correctly. 

If I apply left rudder, the aircraft turns left as expected.

But if I apply right rudder, the aircraft doesn't turn right at all.

May be it is a set up issue? Can you check is the joystick settings, when you press the right pedal, you see movement on the yaw axis?

[DC3 crashing X-Plane 12]

@hukes

You should use Rosetta, but there is bug described here:

 

[DC 3 Flap Actuator]

Flap extension is limited to 97 knots (plus a few knots margin). The speed limits above are for flaps stationary.

[Using The Autopilot]

Please provide more information on what is happening. 

I will theorize, since you said about the GTN, you are trying to follow a GPS flight plan, but the aircraft does not turn "as it should". 

DC-3 HSI's course indicator is not driven by the GPS, so when you reach every waypoint, you must manually set the course is prompted by the GPS the last seconds before reaching the waypoint.

[Engine/aerodynamic problems]

Regarding the engine start, I cannot replicate the issue. Please, when happen again, post your Log.txt file for debugging. 

Regarding spins, I am sure that the aircraft behaves correctly up to stalls. Normally should not spin, except you force the plane into stall. Can you please describe the procedure you use in the real aircraft to induce spin, so I can see what's going on?

You press the left key next to RONAG, and then the left key at the DISCONTINUITY line, and then might require to press EXEC.

[P.180 Avanti II - Support]

Gizmo is a part of things that needed to be updated. So there is no meaning to continue write Lua code, and re-write the everything in a c/c++ plugin is not possible right now.

There are also many changes in XP12, even in the latest 12.2.0 version, that must be changed in the existing code, planemaker, etc. Needs a lot of work, which I have no time at this point.

Does this happened before activate the aircraft? If so, load a default aircraft, activate, and then load DC3. Then should not happen again.

It is a known bug, fixed for the next update.

@ilias.tselios  It's been about 6 months, any chance that update can be deployed?

There are changes in the 12.2.0 that I will include in the update. So expect release close to when the new X-Plane version become final.

I'd like to know if there is any way to load the aircraft with engines running.
I check this option but doesn't work.
Thnaks.

The aircraft has its own states and does not follow X-Plane's. You can read more here: https://airfightergr.github.io/les_dc3_docs/gui/#panel-state-options

I have only just found this addon and it looks amazing! Unfortunately I do not have Gizmo and when I downloaded the file there is no folder that contains the Gizmo plugin as stated in the description. am I missing something here or do I have to get Gizmo myself?

It is written with red letters at the top of the description:
 

Quote

ATTENTION: To use this aircraft, you must own a X-Aviation product, to get Gizmo plugin. If you don't own one, please don't download this aircraft!

 

[P.180 Avanti II - Support]

I can't put it mildly, but it is not possible at this time. With Gizmo development stopped, there is no simple way to achieve XP12 compatibility.

Said that, there is a possibility in the future, to remake everything from scratch in a form of payware, with complete proline avionics and more.

What can I do to get it to work?

 

Thanks in advance

Which model? Classic or Modern?

[Piaggio Avanti Gizmo Requirements]

First of all, Avanti is only compatible with XP11. Won't work in XP12. And yes you need to own an X-Aviation product to be able to run her, in XP11.

Will the update stop this top right message appearing?

Yes will not be there.

[Sundowner compatibility with Realsim G500]

I found the issue. G500 plugin has changed the signature (each plugin has one), so it cannot been found and that's why you see the above. I might release an update in the next weeks fixing this and a few other things.

For now, download the linked image below, and drop it into LES C23 Sundowner/cockpit_3d/generic folder to overwrite the old image. It is an empty image.

Anyway, would be great if they fixed it... it's been a while since this DC-3 was released :-/

I couldn't start working before 12.1 went final. Beyond this, 1 person, me, working on 2 aircraft support and 2 aircraft under development. Moreover, I'm slowly moving the code from Lua to Cpp, which I'm learning as I'm doing things.

Mostly, the update is almost done, needs final touches to be ready.

The TDS team have identified the issue and there'll be a fix in the first update.

Good! Cause I'm thinking to add support for their 650 for both C23 and DC3.
