    Twin Otter X: open issues

    in Aircraft General

    Posted

    Wow, heavy artillery here! I'm beaten, fair and square! :D

    I already have your Flight Calculator, thanks, and use it a lot on my second computer, networked (where I run FSMap and gazillions of other things ;) ). In fact, I have tons of Aerosoft products, always the best in quality and development speed (a MAJOR factor when FSX is considered: you always have something new for us happy FSX simmers! The others will have to catch up some day, or will have to stick to FSX when we go for FSXI...)

    Anyway, thanks a lot for considering the DME. I know that I have options (and you've made your point ;) ), but I still love to have it the old way. I have plenty of more advanced planes with lots of blips and blops, and learned to operate them pretty well, but the fun of old fashion bush flying is unbeatable.

    Best regards,

    Sergio

    PS: I also have a Project Magenta GA panel, which I can run on my second rig, with the DME and lots of other stuff, so I think I'm a helpless whiner...

    If you use the advanced panel you will have 3 stopwachtes I believe and it also offer DME options.

    Sorry, Mathjis, could not find a DME in the advanced panel. It has a GPS, and of course it can be used as a DME but it`d be very awkward and won`t have the same flexibility. I was looking for a plain vanilla DME, one you can easily switch between two sources during complicated non-precision approaches without messing with GPS waypoints and the like.

    I can add one as a 2D panel, but it would be nice to have it on the VC. This one is hard to edit (to my knowledge), because the coordinates are hardcoded on the .cab files.

    Anyway, thanks again for this fantastic bird. I am using a simple stopwatch, making those difficult approaches even harder! (I think I`ll hit a mountain pretty soon, by simple miscalculation of my current ground speed... ) :D

    Cheers,

    Sergio

    Mathijs,

    I love this plane, waited eagerly for it and you did an awesome job, thanks! :D

    This is the perfect bird for non precision approaches, so I don't miss the glideslope needle. But I do miss a DME, for those beautiful VOR DME and NDB DME procedures on remote airfields, always challenging and fun to execute well. Without a DME, we need to keep times, but the clock misses a seconds hand.

    I could add the default DME to the VC, but (i) it's awfully odd and (ii) the panel is hardcoded so it is not easily editable.

    Could you consider adding a chronometer (or a better clock, that beauty from the Beaver should do just fine!) and a decent DME?

    Best regards,

    Sergio

    Release - DHC-6 Twin Otter X

    Buying as fast as I can! :D :D

    Mathijs, I remember something about the float version being too ugly. Well, looks like it found its way to the advertising front page... ;)

    Best regards,

    Sergio

    PD: Before I forgot to say so, I love your products, top notch, must've spent tons of euros with you by now. And, as a quick remark, the combination of Scenery Germany (any number) with FSMap is one of the most amazing experience I had in many years of simming! Now, "me wants" the same in FSX, so, PLEASE, accelerate "German Airfields" 2-8 and make them compatible with SP2!! :D

    GA 9 trees texture problem

    in Aerosoft Scenery

    Posted

    Great news, Cristoph :) . Take your time, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Meanwhile, is there any way to get rid of the opaque trees? I mean, are they on a separate bgl file that I can disable? Or is it possible to have a hotfix with the scenery compiled without the trees, while we wait for the final update?

    Best regards,

    German Landmarks X and German Airfields 1

    in Aerosoft Scenery

    Posted

    I have both installed, German Landmarks X and GA 1, and I have duplicated objects in Borkum (two of each lighthouses and two towers in the city). The GA 1 manual states that the objects will merge, the higher resolution been displayed, as long as GA 1 stays on top of GL. Well, they didn't merge, I can see them both and I guess it will be the case in the other islands. Am I missing something?

    Best regards,

    Scenery Germany, GA, install order

    in Aerosoft Scenery

    Posted

    Hi folks,

    I bought Budapest 2007 and found it so amazing that ended buying a lot more of your sceneries ;). Now I've read in the manual for Scenery Germany 3 that there is a correct order to install the bundles, including Germany Airports.

    I remember that some installers asked if I had other sceneries installed, so I wonder if they now manage it automatically. Do we still have to install in the right order? I have SG1, 2, 3 and Bremen, GA1 and 3, and MA Frankfurt. Any advice?

    Congrats on the amazing sceneries and airports, they made me go back to FS9 and enjoy it big time!

    Cheers,

    Seahawk flight

    in Radio Chatter Room

    Posted

    OK, I manage to start the bird. It turns out that you must open not only the fuel ([ctrl]+[shift]+[F4]), but also the "propeller" ([ctrl]+[F4]). Then, keeping the collective at 30% really starts the TRQ and advances RPM. Well, it was not written, and my default flight has everything off, including the propeller governor.

    BTW, what is modeled by the propeller governor in this chopper? Collective and thrust are linked to the throttle lever, as says the manual (auto throttle), but the propeller governor was never mentioned.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Shaun, the displays are fine now. I noticed that I had all my displays blank (OAT, Flight Calculator, you name it...), on every aircraft and even outside FS. Some problem with my system, I guess. Strange one, though...

    But I still can't manage to start the engine... I will try your suggestion, but I think I did it before. I have many addons, and got used to start with the default flight.

    Cheers,

    Seahawk flight

    in Radio Chatter Room

    Hi folks,

    I am trying the London flight with my new Seahawk, and I am having some problems. When I load the flight, the engine is already started, which is good. (I was never able to get it started on previous flights, following the checklist. After APU is running and etc., I push the collective to 30% and wait, wait, wait, and the TRQ bars don't move at all....)

    Well, the problem is that I can't manage to turn on neither the Radio Control Unit nor the CDU. It is funny: when I try from cold and dark, I can't manage to start the engines but the RCU and CDU work fine. Now that I have the engine started, they are dead... And YES, I have read the manual many times! Any help?

    Thanks,

    Sérgio
