  1. Confirmed by Austin. He changed the decision high. Now it changes from 10 to 10 values.
  2. Yes yes.. as said.. I will investigate about the delay in the stick pusher and soft move.. I think I can be success with this.. I have an idea. But I do not plan work in this right now.. First comes the liveries, then a little vacations. and then I will go back again for some work. Even If there are not big bugs, I would like to concentrate in releases with new stuff to add, that way people only don't see corrections but new stuff... Anyway.. step by step. Thanks for the support.
  3. Hola, quería informar que el manual en castellano del Jetstream32 lo acabo de terminar y está para descarga en el siguiente link. http://www.jrollon.com/Jetstream32Spanish.pdf Gracias!
  4. I have an asnwer already. Saddly stil the 3D integration is not possible to make.. but people can make already the integration in 2D. What I don't know is if they need the 2D panel they won't be able because I hide that one. But there are posible solutions.. so if you wish to integrate in 2D Download it and if you don't see it in the plane I can tell you how you could see the 2D panel.
  5. the same photos you saw you liked about the light by night.. you can have them in this plane. sure! by the way.. did you choose the read switch on?
  6. I think the aswer you have is in the translation you made. translate from that to english: "Can't you give food to Google Translate? or is it not the google translater, as they say? Well... it can be good for something.. but lot is lost.. and is my mother language!!
  7. arggg!! going to see if I can end the spanish manual.. here in spain not so many people speaks english... and is bad a spanish don't write a manual in his language! BUT is soooooo boring write!!! sooooo boring!!
  8. There are 2 versions of the aircraft already. there are things inside the jetstream modified only for xplane10
  9. Seen the video.. First I must say that is strange the position of the FD. ... I think the plugin is doing something with it.... (if you deactivate autopilot and put it on it stays at same position?) I think that is. Let the FD park.. and then pull them out. As said.. you can have a follow only FD without autopilot. As in the real aircraft.. put the option in your joystick to SERVOS TOGGLE that why you deactivate autopilot but not the Flight directors so you can fly manually. In the real aircraft I didn't find any button to set the Flight directors.. only the side that affected to autopilot. BUT this plane has THOUSANDS of configurations. The 2 pilots that sent me the photos and manuals didn't speak about that. Sure there is a photo with an "engage flight director" to let me bad!! hahaha In the video.. You cannot (well you can.. but don't expect the plane to do it correctly) while you are in a vertical mode, select other vertical mode... it makes a mess... If you select VS.. let the VS end... Same with SPEED mode. BUT why you apply TCS while managing the VS wheel?.. that is not the proper way of do it. You can do it? of course.. I seen in the video.. but that is not the way.. You don't need to press TCS (is illuminated in the modes) to manage the pitch wheel.
  10. As you can see the menus are JUMPING in front of you because all other is black. That is done by design. yes... I know that is not a good view looking.. but is viewable. The menus has to be seen everytime! (I have a bug there that must correct.. but is other thing). About the illumination of the front panels. I divided in 3 parts as the real plane. In the CRJ200 is only 1 when it should be 2. To divide with LIT textures you have to choose which elements are LIT by a dataref and what others are lit by other. When you illuminate one the other is totally black. What I did was put one of the 3 internal lights in the middle.. so any illumination of any of the 3 panels will make this one illumiante the rest to have something like a reflection light.. so more natural. The problem with this are 2: 1. That light cannot move... so it has to be in the center. If the sides are illuminted.. the more catched illumination will be the center one.. when it should be that 3D light more near the illuminated panel. BUT as said we have only 3 internal light.. and one was already pitch up for the flood and the other for the reflection produced by the cabin light (I considered that have a totally black cockpit when the cabin light is on.. is not acceptable. Something should affect). 2. When you use a 3D internal plane maker light.. there is a big problem. The LIT and 3D light fight each in between.. So If you put the instruments light OFF and the flood lights ON you will see the TXT labels black. I cannot do anything about this. Illuminate as other things in games industry is a matter of illusion. Lots of things are fake to not have a big impact in frames. If in future Ben gives me more internal lights and with shadows I will start not using the LIT textures. Meanwhile.. if I want to separate something...... I have to use them About the intensity... yes.. well.. after a full night in the disco and a late going to sleep and someone put the blinds up when you just slept 2 hours all is soooooo bright!!!! hahaahahahah No.. this is because the 3D light I am using for the panels..... it affects the LIT one (it should not) and that is the point where the LIT and 3D internal lights fight between them... but I need to use one to reflect the rest of the panels when they where off. Even the panel ratio maximun is not 1.0... is 0.75. Imagine how it was at 1.0. Of course always the user has the possibility of set a lower ratio.
  11. Hello.. comming! 1. GPS on / off knob doesn't work (or at least it doesn't blank out the GPS screen). WXR on/off switch is OK.GPS on / off knob doesn't work (or at least it doesn't blank out the GPS screen). WXR on/off switch is OK. X-Plane 9.70: This is not happening X-Plane 10.11: That is true.. I have just seen it.. don't know what happened because last time I tried it was perfect. Added to bugs list. 2. DH can be set in 10ft increments only. Is it like this on the real plane? X-Plane 9.70: This is not happening X-Plane 10.11: yes is happening. Have checked inside datarefs editor.. and it is the dataref that don't let me use just 10's. Looking inside plane maker, I don't see anything strange... I think is something from Laminar. Have to tell them. It is not mine. 3. Flight Director cannot be switched on independetly of the autopilot. Weird. Or maybe it's like this on the real plane? That is in the aircraft. There is no button to choose only Flight directors (at least in the photos and manuals I had. But if you want to control the flight modes without autopilot servos on, there are 2 ways. Both comes from asigning a button to the joystick. One is the TCS (control_wheel_steer) and the other is putting a key to the command "Servos_toggle" both in autopilot. 4. Transponder mode selector knob is slightly off the labels "STBY OFF", "ON" and "ALT". Here's what i mean: Is designed that way. Old things deforms a little and goes farther than limited! 5. When selecting ACT button on ADF radios, "ACT" word doesn't show up left of the frequency. COM and NAV radios are OK X-Plane 9.70: I see the ACT labels X-Plane10.11: Yes.. you are right.. Don't know what is happening here.. has to investigate. 6. Some of the needles on the instruments become dark as soon as you start dimming the lights. This applies to "INSTRUMENTS" and "ROOF" rotary knobs. This is normal in the design I made. Needles are imposible to make dim illumination because they already has another light that affects them, and only 1 OBJ in Xplane can have 1 LIT texture. So I had to hide them. But they all not hide at the same time because the manner I made to hide them is moving behind the none illuminated needles. So if you want to see them all, you have to apply a full instrument lighting. That I must correct (you don't says it) because it affects to the menu in the yoke.. and that cannot be!! And also separate the GPS illumination, captions and Radar from that instrument knob. But that will be done in future. 7. Cabin lights (selectable from the yoke) lights up pretty much the whole cockpit area. Not sure if that's the way it's supposed to work, but it makes other cockpit lights somewhat useless when cabin lights are on. x-plane 9.70: correct size affected x-plane 10.11: Too much maybe.. There is a problem between light size recognizion in xp9 and 10. So I loose the xp9.. and I had to increase it. Maybe I did too much? I can put then lower. What is true is go to your room... .swich off the lights at night. Go to your oposite.. a big one.. with roof lights.. switch on. Your room will be good illuminated. That is what I wanted to simulate.. BUT as said I will try to put them a little down. We don't want to have our passengers blind for the whole flight!!! (for now.. well.. by night they sleep, so if you think they are affecting your pilotaging.. I think you can switch off the cabin lights... noone will notice ! 8. When flying with autopilot engaged, Flight Director pitch bar is always some degress up off the airplane silhouete. First pic when maintaining altitude, second when in a steady climb using VS mode. As you can see in the images both (left xplane9 and right xp10) are quite in the center. What is happening is that you are over the level of the instrument so because the bars are a little farther from the ball of the adi there is a perspective error. Also you can check that the xp10 version is a little not to the center. BUT so little. That is because in programming I used a custom animation.. and I compared between my bars positions and the FD one to be the difference less than 0.01 so stopped. That is the 0.01.. as said.. OLD THINGS THAT ALWAYS ARE DEFORMING!!! haha. 9. According to manual, IAS mode should adjust pitch to maintain speed at the time of engagement. As you can see in the video, it's not entirely true. The video is private.. I cannot see it... BUT there is something wrong you are doing. Why use VS mode and Speed mode.. no no.. or you use VS mode or SPEED Mode .. both are vertical modes but cannot be used together. If you are at 9000ft and you want to change to 11.000ft what you have to do is this: With VS mode (with pitch wheel selector) 1. Select 11000 and press ALT SEL. It will change to ARM amber caption 2. Press VS mode. Will come On.. but leveled. 3. Go to the Pitch wheel rotatory and start to pitch up.. it will be slow because the maximun range as the real plane will be 2000fpm.. so while you rotate down (to go up) you control the pointer in the vertical speed and see the desired vertical speed you want). 4. Once it reaches it.. the ALT will be captured and plane leveled. With VS mode (with pitch TCS) 1. Select 11000 and press ALT SEL. It will change to ARM amber caption 2. press in your joystick the TCS button that you assigned in xplane and pitch up your plane at the desired pitch. 3. Once you have it, maintaining that pitch, you press the VS mode 4. The plane will maintain the pitch until it reaches the altitude With SPEED mode. 1. Select 11000 and press ALT SEL. It will change to ARM amber caption 2. Select IAS mode. Nothing will happen only the ON caption in IAS. 3. IF YOU HAVE AN SPEED NOT NEAR MAXIMUM ONE.. then you push the throttle (if it is not already pushed.. or TTL is acting taking off some energy to the engines to maintain EGT. 4. When the throttles are push the plane will TRY to maintain the speed. This iis not mathematics.. and that is why the pilots are there. There are soooo many things that can modify this speed.. ice, bad angle, altitude.... etc... From my testings I see it correct. Suggestions: Addition of altimeter pressure setting in hPa (instead of inHg) would help a lot when flying outside of US! :] Will think how.. because include inside the same altimeter is really very hard working. Any modification in the 3D may break the textures.. so I preffer not touch it. As you said.. you are impressed how a single guy could end this.. Also do I!! Right hand seat armrest is non-movable. It can be somewhat inconvenient when flying from right seat. Will look at this one! It would be nice if you could make wiper PARK switch operational (i think i know why you dropped that - model dataref animation vs. plugin interaction?) that is.. the dataref is a single animation... I succeded in having separated. The pay is to not have the parked one... Well.. not bad.. 3 bugs, one of them form Laminar.. I think the others are correct. And now going to work a little... 1 hour and a half replying this post!! argg!!
  12. Ok.. I will take a look at that.
  13. good video! if you see it more carefully with the stick pusher the lights are red.. and without them are amber.
  14. Also you can try the CWS (TCS in the plane) so you can control manually the new pitch.. and then press the V.S. mode when you have your desired pitch attitude.
  15. sure.. 15 years in game industry as animator and texturer.
  16. ah.. of course... a little movement is a little pitch. Take in consideration the maximum pitch range is 2000 fpm.
  17. planes for xplane? I think 2 years and a half or so...
  18. so if there is a different behabiour in xplane 10.10 before versions, then that is something related with xplane itself isn't it? because we didn't change anything in that area. But if they changed something and is going to be for the future.. then we should change in the plane maker.. But the specifications are clear with the maximum Gs the plane can have. And that is very simple in plane maker. Just a number. For me sounds like a bug from Laminar or something overdone. By the way.. good video!
  19. If the engines are burning.. is not because torque.. but because EGT... Did you activated the TTL? Is the EGT pointer over 650º more than 3 minutes?.. or the Enrich fuel button on more than 20minutes? or 60% manual start knob more than 5minutes? A overtorque for more than 3 minutes would produce a break of the engines.. not burn of them. please read the manual. The plane is correct in both versions. This plane has to make pilot check the engine instruments frequently.
  20. Press a second time the alt arm one in the front panel. Both methods are correct.. Maybe it blocked between the alt captured and alt arm modes.
  21. yes.. occurs.. because I just saw it.. but only when the fog is comming.
  22. Thanks to you all guys!!
  23. I was thinking that maybe the xplane10 version had a problem.. but not in mine.. Just check it. .and yes.. I can set the 2 right numbers to 99 as it should.. but when rasing the 2 left numbers to 75 then 76.. then when changing to 77.. the two 99 on the right changes to 77 also as they should be. So I cannot reproduce your error. Even.. if I try to set directly the 9999 code inside datarefs editor.. it says me inmediatelly 5599.... So it can't The only way I can imagine to set 9999 is the plugin is not working. But if is working in the simple animation of the battery guard.. that just "jumps" to protect the switch when the battery possition is set.. then I cannot imagine what could happen to you if you have the problem.
  24. 1. The finals slow. The real time controls the BETA stage of the propeller with the throttle It is defined in plane maker that below a 0.02 ratio of the full throttle range the plane enters in BETA. That means the plane will loose drastically push.. so you will pitch down as you describe. You don't have to pull fully the joystick. I put that number (0.02) because coincide with my joystick dent.. so I know when I am reaching it. It is easy to change it. Go to plane maker.. open the jetstream (of course make a backup copy).. then in Engines menu.. to the left.. there is the "go BETA below this throttle setting". If you set to 0.0 it won't go...but won't be as the real plane. You can put other number to coincide with any mark your hardware throttle has... 2. About the Elevators... I don't understand quite well... There is a system in the plane that is the stall warning. When on.. and you have an STALL.. the plane will automatically push forward the joystick to exit automatically the STALL. That means UNTIL the stall is exit, you cannot push it back (you can but the plugin won't let you so it will go back). It is because the stick pusher. You can still have the STALL light warning system... BUT not the stick pusher.. how? read the manual. Page 16. Thanks!
