Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 26, 2007 Aerosoft Share Posted March 26, 2007 We got a few more liveries and full new model available for the BeaverX. This will be the last scheduled update (we'll fix problems of course). You will find the update in the FAQ/Support section of the shop. We'll also send the update to simmarket right now Long Distance PCPilot model In a future article in PC Pilot Magazine (www.pcpilot.net), resident writer, Jane Whittaker will be taking the Aerosoft BeaverX on a whirlwind tour of the world, visiting some of the most dramatic and remote destinations on the planet. To celebrate this event we have released this very special PC Pilot version of the BeaverX - complete with an additional 300 gallon fuel tank offering a significantly increased range. PC Pilot Magazine and Aerosoft have great pleasure in offering this unique BeaverX into the community so everyone can share in this adventure. Liveries As said 5 more liveries, here you see them; 2.31 Livery/Model update added 4 liveries by Vincent v Yperen Prototype CF-FHB (5 seat floats) Norwegian Fonnafly (5 seats floats) Swedish Kallax Flyg (5 seats floats) Royal Netherlands Airforce (wheels) added 1 liveries by Nathan Havercroft Labrador Airways (5 seats floats) N101SY (5 seats floats) added long distance amphibian model. Please note you are flying a bit overweight with this model and all tanks full. The additional tank feeds into the standard center tank. Now go and get them!

azflyboy 1 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 And just when I thought the Beaver couldn't get any better..... Looking at the screenshots, I have one question I was hoping someone could shed some light on. On the models without a painted prop spinner, the spinner looks like an untextured gmax part with some shine added. Looking at pictures on Airliners.net (and the FS2004 Beaver), it looks like the spinners are actually a polished, bare metal instead of the grey color that appears on the BeaverX models. Is the grey coloring due to some kind of quirk in FSX, or is there another reason for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveIT 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Sorry but I'm a bit new to these updates w/o installers. Where do I put the files contained in the update? I tried to extract them from the ZIP to the SimObjects/Airplanes folder but I don't see them. Thanks in advance! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Extract the files into your main FSX folder, and if you get prompted about overwrites (they should just be BeaverX files, so you can allow them), you know the files are going where they should be.

daveIT 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I used WinZip, selected all files and extracted them to my FSX directory, but when I go into FSX I don't see any of the new liveries. I have the following folders in SimObjectsAirplanes: Aerosoft Beaver Amphibian Aerosoft Beaver Amphibian2 Aerosoft Beaver Cropduster Aerosoft Beaver Firefighter Aerosoft Beaver Floats 5 Seats Aerosoft Beaver Floats 8 Seats Aerosoft Beaver Skis Aerosoft Beaver Standard Wheels Aerosoft Beaver Tundra Wheels Any ideas?

It's been awhile since I've used winzip (I use WinRar mostly), but make sure that the box labeled something like "keep folder names" is checked, and be sure you have the path to FSX correct. If you still can't get it to work, you can unzip the files to a folder on your desktop, and then copy-paste them into the correct places in FSX.

IanP 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 In hindsight, I should have chosen a larger area of water for my first departure in it...

VinFlyer 8 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 well, actually the nr.2 isn't a new livery. The S-9 repaint was already included in the original release but I felt I needed to redo it because it wasn't 100% correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
