Thank you for the clarification. Strangely after assigning: sim/flight_controls/pitch_trim_up_mech sim/flight_controls/pitch_trim_down_mech Mechanical, not servo. the default XP12 electric pitch trim controls also started to work :-)

Hi All, late to the party, but as they say, better late than never :-) I am finding it really "complex" to assign proper controls to the mixture in this DC-3... I was finally able to find a way to assign buttons in my T.16000 to Left and Right Mixture Lever Up/Down, but the Left and Right mixture pads I can't find them in the list of assignable functions? Another two problems I am facing and couldn't yet find how to properly solve are the assignment of pitch tri to the default XP12 pitch trim datarefs, as well as tailwheel lock toggle command available in default Xp12 list of commands... When I use it it doesn't work in the DC-3 :-/ Any hints / suggestions really welcomed !

Solved! They're Online ... Overview - Leading Edge Simulations DC-3 v2 (airfightergr.github.io)

Just installed the DC-3 v2 in XP12, browsed the aircraft folder looking for manuals, but found none :-( Where are they? Thx !

Ok, so the default plane comes with a fixed set payload/pax configuration? That's why couldn't find how to adjust pax and cargo through the XP12 loading screen ...

@Cameron, my fault for not reading the Manual :-/ I was totally unaware that THROTTLE 5 axis was the one to be used for proper throttle assignment for users with single throttle hardware axis. Thank you!

Hi, just installed and took it for a ride. I have a problem with the throttle levers not moving in the 3d cockpit, although at times they appear to be functional when I move my hardware throttle. The Prop levers do move.

When will v2 be released for XP12 ?

Thx Litjan. I understand it is not a "Must have"...

iXEG 737 Classic... Been looking at some videos. I noticed that when an engine fails inflight, or is shutdown, the readings on N1 and N2 drop to 0, there being no windmill effects ? Is the iXEG turbine model using the default XP10 turbine simulation ? I thought it used an external model ?

Just a side note. As Austin had told me yesterday, the just released 10.50r3 has also restored METAR D/L. Not sure about the wind & turbulence GRIBs...

Until 2019 both formats will co-exist. From there on, xml only. Anyway, this info pertains to the GTS ( WMO ) and I guess NOAA just makes it available to the public by "courtesy". I don't know what NOAA's plans are for this particular service. I'll try to find more and post here next week.

Well, I work at the Portuguese MetOffice ( @ LPPT ) who is the Portuguese member of WMO / ICAO for Aviation Weather. The info is based on the official WMO GTS circuits ( and other ) we use here for our mission. I do not know if NOAA will make available the xml version in the future, but their "Best Practices" document in the following link gives some hints: https://www.aviationweather.gov/dataserver/bestpractices

Further to this, I would like to add: 1) Austin confirmed adding the new servers to the next 10.50 update; 2) Starting January 2017, all METAR ( WMO - GTS ) dissemination will be text and xml based; 3) Starting January 2019, only xml based dissemination will be available ( WMO - GTS ). So, weather injector developers should start playing with the future syntax and query system, described at one of the links I posted above :-)

The download is apparently still possible from the altrenate URL: http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/cycles/

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/notification/tin14-55ncep_ftp.txt and of course: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/dm-cgi-bin/chgshow.pl?fn=DM051602.txt

Great update!

Nope. They use their own...

One question - will it be METAR based only? Because it is there that lays most of the limitation in XP weather depiction, specially in Europe where it is very common to find the sector altitude not higher than a mere 5,000 feet... Storms / TS, specially when embeded, are usually another aspect where XPX is very poor compared to FSX / P3D, specially when ASN is used... And... let's not forget: Synoptic scale is required for good blending of data, not only winds and temp aloft, but also cloud cover. ASN for instance uses, through it's own server and processing network, this kind of scale ( and even above it ) for it's depiction and "weather matrix".

Cameron, this is really GOOD NEWS! As a long time user of AS products, and also long time member of the Active Sky beta team, I look forward to try this add-on :-) I'll do it also in the perspective of my real life work, at the Portuguese Metoffice ( LPPT ), just as I did with AS products which are, by far, the best available for the MSFS platform. Maybe we can finally have in X-plane 10 what I've been missing for a long time ... On my recent return to XPX, to test the results of the "torque bug fix", I even decided to buy SMP again - now on v3 ...

Just a THUMBS Up regarding the use of the REMARKABLE LES dc-3 with the new beta, which includes the first torque bug fix. I used the dc-3 with very good results. First flights were made with the standard dc-3, and then I opened and saved it in Plane-Maker, and again, good results were the outcome ( I actually didn't find any difference before and after opening the aircraft in Plane Maker ... ). This aircraft was the ** only ** XP10 add-on which never really gave me big problems with the torque bug, but now I believe it feels even better. There is probably something that is also different apart from the "torque fix" in the latest beta and that is the way propwash effects are being calculated in the sections of the wing directly behind the engine / props... I am not 100 % sure it is different from before, but I believe it is, and also accounts for the torque adding yet another moment against it ( ? )

Thx a lot Ben!

The topic tittle :-) Thx for any answers...

I believe he says he's staying after all, with the project :-) Let's forget about what happened in the between, and focus on SkyMAXX again!!!! We want it to become availabe ASAP!!!! X-Plane 10 needs it ;-) Hmmm John is Gemini, just like me, that's my bet!

I just hope he finds some alternative way to release his product in the, as near as possible, future!
