Would like to ask if there are some plans to release a DC3 64 bit ready. I'm planning to migrate shortly to the new platform and LES DC3 is one of my favourite planes. Still waiting for some add ons to swift to 64 bit (xacars, pilotedge) but would be just great to fly DC3 with extreeme texture with no memory crash. I'm on mac (mountain lion). Thanks in advance, Angelo

Hi Javier, Thanks for the answer. DME Don't know what's happen with JS32, but I can confirm you that DME ground speed is working good on other aircraft. Anyway it's a minor bug, we can check the ground speed turning on the gps. Autopilot servo by button No way to arm it by joystick. Checked every single key but can't do it. RPM Levers I figured out that something was breaking your plugin. No mind, will move the levers by mouse. I know it was an hard work to let JS32 fly and I want to thank you for that. But I want to thank you also for your way to help us to get even more fun from flying your planes. Same for Cameron, always ready to help and solve any kind of trouble. Thanks guys for your attitude. Wish you a fantastic New Year, full of happiness and peace.

DME bug I flew this Javier's creation many times and always without GPS. Simply LOVE the IFR navigation with radio aids and noticed there is a quite macroscopic error in the DME Ground Speed indication. At a cruise speed around 240 knots, I can read about 125 knots on display. The problem show up on both displays (pilot and copilot). Am I the only one? Autopilot On the 1.01 version we can arm Flight director and AFTER arm the autopilot as we do quite on ever real aircraft. My way to arm the autopilot is very classic. Take off, flaps up and trim the plane to climb with speed and rate I wish: reaching this configuration I arm the HDG/NAV mode and V/S or Pitch. Every time I touch the throttle I need to trim again the ailerons (LOVE that) and to do that I am always very busy. I use an Hotas Joystick so it will be very important to arm the autopilot mode by hotas button. My problem is I can't find the key to assign the joystick to arm that final autopilot mode and don't know if it is possible. By now I have to leave the Joystick which I manage by my right hand (plane goes a little crazy this point) and arm it clicking the mouse (with big and unreal vertical/horizontal bank that I hate) Really unconfortable. RPM Levers I saw Javier touched the way we can trim the props by RPM levers and eliminate the chance to manage it by axes. I know that on the real plane we have just two fixed positions (Flight, RPM 100% and TAXI, RPM 72%) but Javier is leaving to the pilot that chance to shift a bit around this two extreme fixed positions playing with mouse. VERY SMART DECISION. A big fun percentage piloting this bird came from this little shifting; this way is possible to fly ALWAYS inside the plane parameters (climbing, cruising and descending) For example, if you try this on climb you will know that touching a little bit the RPM levers will find a new value in the key equation involving TORQUE, RPM AND EGT. This way you can manage a very effective tuning (and will increase your fun) ;-) This is another example of how difficult is to simulate the real plane. I bet this is some kind of plane maker equations limitation but I agree 100% with Javer's vision of simulation concept. I have the chance to pilot in real a single propeller (got APPL) but I am not playing with sim to replicate that sensation because it's impossible. To me it's enough to study the manuals and try to investigate how to fly INSIDE the plane parameters, tuning and trimming the planes all the time. Maybe I'm wrong but I bet I'm not the only simmer thinking this way. Because of that need to shift the RPM levers I would like ask to Javier to let axes manage the RPM levers. One trick I experienced how important is to fly this plane with separate throttle axes, especially flying real weather conditions. You will be surprised how different can be tuning engines on the right and left side. Priceless Sorry for long post and Happy New Year to the whole forum Angelo

Thanks Goran for your post. And thanks for this beauty, lot of fun here !!! Angelo

It was raining at LICJ (Palermo, Punta Raisi) and wind was 290/20. Not so crossed (landing runway was 25) but strong enough to suggest to touch down before with right gear. Rear gear free castoring patch applied. Hope you like Angelo Photo scenery by Dakota www.x-italy.it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEve_O_lcDM

I know Cameron, mine was just a joke... Thanks everyone for answering to my question and keep on with the excellent job. CRJ200 is BY FAR my favorite plane and now can't wait to try it on plane 10. Cheers Angelo

I know Cameron, but as I wrote on my previous post this is not my main computer and I bought CRJ200 to play with my iMac 27 i7. Anyway I ran the test and the result was strange too and quite cryptic.... Another blank screen ;-) Happy New Year Cheers Angelo

I removed the cockpit_Transparencia.obj (glass) and after removed all the glass objects (other 3 objects in the same page) but the only result is a (let's say) whiter screen. (see attached screenshot) Have to admit it's a very strange issue and for sure it's a graphic card related one. It's a pity, because, despite my macbook pro is quite aged (almost 6 years) I can say CRJ200 was fast enough to play with no problems. Other trick?

Hi Javier, Thanks for your reply. Unluckly I had no chance to solve the problem. Performed every kind of test with plane-maker and tried to find a newer driver with no luck. My mac is a laptop so no way to change hardware. Nothing terrible because in a couple of month I play xplane on my main mac (27" i7 imac) and will go on enjoing your beautiful plane. Thanks again and happy new year, to you and to the whole xplane community. Cheers Angelo

Hi everyone, and happy new year !!! My problem: I'm trying to run CRJ200 v.1.3 on a 2.33 Ghz Intel core 2 duo, ATI radeon x1600 256 MB and 4GB RAM. I'm not sure my hardware is over the minimum for the CRJ200, anyway I'm looking at a strange issue. All FMC are totally white and no way to let them working. I'm attaching a screenshot and the log file. I hope someone can helps me. Thanks in advance Angelo Log.txt
