Just a small update: the adventures of adding 62 lamps to the Turbolet, while not killing the FPS https://x-plane.hu/L-410/blog/2021/01/16/cabin-lights-and-lamps/

It was quite a long time since the last visual update so the time has come for another one, focusing on the internal look and feel of the plane. https://x-plane.hu/L-410/blog/2020/12/14/visual-update-cockpit-and-cabin/

In the 3rd part of systems overview, we go through all the engine-related systems, how they work and how they are inter-connected in detail https://x-plane.hu/L-410/blog/2020/11/15/engine-and-limitations/

Started a series on the dev blog about the systems - how it's working, what are the limitations, etc. 1) The first part is about deicing: https://x-plane.hu/L-410/blog/2020/07/13/systems-deicing/ 2) The second part: Central warning display. https://x-plane.hu/L-410/blog/2020/11/01/central-warning-display/ Hope you find it useful

Not really the case here But having a full-time job always slows things down

Getting closer and closer every day...

As promised before, showing something visual You can overweigh the plane (in a certain range), also get CG out of the envelope, so you have to carefully plan before any flight If you're more like in a "just jump in and fly" mood, you'll be able to that as well of course

Slowly, but steadily getting there... nothing visual to show at the moment though. Also, life happens, so there are "gaps" in the dev, but it's in progress

Finally managed to compile the rain plugin for the L-410. There are small bugs here and there, but definitely a huge step forward!

Sadly there's none at the moment. The next (public) update is going to be the payware version - I'm focusing on that in the next few months. I'm not planning to update the free version in the near future.

Version 1.2.1 is released! New features: A/P update by @drwindows Reflective windshield Reflective instrument glasses Added cockpit view limits, so you can't get inside the instrument panel and fall out on the side window - handy if you're flying with TrackIR Working Nav2 Added TO/FROM indicator for HSI Pitot overheats at low speeds (custom failure) (turn on after T/O, turn off before landing!) Update outside OBJ files with latest XP11 features (reflections) 2nd altimeter now shows altitude in meters Fixes: Engine stalls fixed Right engine propeller animation fixed Stall speed fixed Cockpit reflections reflects the cockpit not the outside world FADEC (IELU) RPM fixed if turned off Fuel consumption fine tune Flaps fine-tuned Updated flight model: tuned trims, flaps and engine parameters for XP11 Increased the instrument lamps' strength, looks better at night Removed the background texture from behind the instrument panel - was a "hack" for instrument reflections which I never finished properly Decreased ADF freq selector's strength, makes it easier to set Removed reflections from outside OBJ's, not needed anymore Side panel LIT texture fix Normal map fix for outside objects Kollsman window in the 2nd altimeter RPM&TRQ stall fixed Have fun and happy landings, hope you like it!

Duplicate post, lately the forum engine is quite unstable

Hello everyone! Update for X-Plane 11! This is an open-beta update, so I won't update the download section until I'm sure it's fine for a proper release So, please take her to a nice trip and let me know how it goes. If you find any bugs, just drop a comment and I'll add it to my TODO list to fix. I'm planning to make a release every week until all the issues (if there's any... ) fixed. You can download it from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NtRXtKW-Y8WqCHqUWDlwNT2H_q8NCAuy Fixes: Updated flight model: tuned trims, flaps and engine parameters for XP11 Increased the instrument lamps' strength, looks better at night Removed the background texture from behind the instrument panel - was a "hack" for instrument reflections which I never finished properly Decreased ADF freq selector's strength, makes it easier to set Removed reflections from outside OBJ's, not needed anymore Side panel LIT texture fix Normal map fix for outside objects Kollsman window in the 2nd altimeter RPM&TRQ stall fixed New features A/P update by @drwindows Reflective windshield Reflective instrument glasses Added cockpit view limits, so you can't get inside the instrument panel and fall out on the side window - handy if you're flying with TrackIR Working Nav2 Added TO/FROM indicator for HSI Pitot overheat at low speeds (custom failure) Update outside OBJ files with latest XP11 features (reflections) 2nd altimeter now shows altitude in meters Thank you!

EDIT: dupe post

Hey, Just a quick update regarding the next free version (1.2) updates. I've been working on lots of small fixes, mostly for XP11, but there are some new features, which makes life easier flying around with the Let Updates: Reflective windshield Reflective instrument glasses Added cockpit view limits, so you can't get inside the instrument panel and fall out on the side window - handy if you're flying with TrackIR A/P update by @drwindows which was linked in a previous post (thank you again!) Increased the instrument lamps' strength, looks better at night Removed the background texture from behind the instrument panel - was a "hack" for instrument reflections which I never finished properly Decreased ADF freq selector's strength, makes it easier to set Updated flight model: tuned trims, flaps and engine parameters for XP11 Working Nav2 Added TO/FROM indicator for HSI Removed reflections from outside OBJ's, not needed anymore Pitot overheat at low speeds (failure) TODO Cockpit lights to be set to 0 when cold start Flashing ANN instead of steady light Side panel LIT texture fix (some elements light up at night, which shouldn't) Normal map fix for outside objects And the ones which I forgot to add to my list Update outside OBJ files with latest XP11 features (reflections, PBR textures) Kollsman window in the 2nd altimeter RPM&TRQ tends to stall after a proper shutdown + restart Hope I can keep up the current pace fixing the bugs and make a beta release in few weeks. Fingers crossed. In the meantime, I'm working in the v2, which will include lots of custom systems: you'll really have to read the manual to fly this beauty properly otherwise, you can end up having no engine at about 4000 ft

Had a few free hours, was working on the XP11 update!

There's always hope! In few days I'm finishing a work-related project and after that, I can finally get back to the Let!

Sadly, I can't say that...

Just a small update, playing with rain again Also, finally finished the CG calculation, so if you're not careful, you can easily tip-over the L-410

Just another day in the "office"

...

That's really weird, I'm not overriding the rain_percent... maybe the NOAA plugin? I'll have a look without the plugin loaded and see if does something funky Thanks for the clarification!

Hi I'm currently building a simple rain effect on the L-410 and I bumped into a problem: when I'm using NOAA weather with SkyMaxx, and SkyMaxx draws rain/snow, the rain_percent dataref can be still 0, as SkyMaxx using a different source for clouds/precipitation I'm wondering Is there a way to get the rain_percent or similar which is used by SkyMaxx? Thanks in advance! Mihaly

That's the next step to figure out...

Just some WIP test
