    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Carenado C337H Skymaster Version 2 Announced

Received an email reply from Carenado about their update (V2). I attached my invoice that was a from PCAviator, they (Caranado) told me to just download it again. I dunno. I tried that and
it looked like it has the same file name. If I were to do that, then I would of renamed it to something V2 just in case it was V2. I still have the original V1 with same name. If V2 is messed up then
using the renaming option, I could at least revert to V1.


EDIT: I didn't install it yet however, I did a pre-install to see if it would say that I am about to install V2 - didn't see that. The name and file size are the same. I just replied to Carenado with the email they sent me
of same. Is there any thing that distinguishes V1 from V2 - like file name or a install splash screen that informs of a V2 install. Otherwise, I deleted what I just downloaded, the contents look identical, I don't believe
PC Aviator has caught up with V2. Based on the results here, I am in no hurry but am curious.
 
Carenado is claiming that the external lighting for v2.0 should work in DX10. They do not work in either DX9 or DX10. I'm back to v1.0. Enough time wasted. :a1310:
 
V2 is NOT an improvement over V1

Just an FYI.

Filed a fixit ticket with Carenado for the following items, and I fear there may be more.


  • Fuel pump switches are not correct
  • Correctly trimmed aircraft tries to pitch up @ 50 knots and then falls back to ground (hard, as expected).
  • Yokes jump in and out of view with minor control inputs.

I too thought the switches noises were in-op, but I think they are just really faint.

Carenado politely replied they are working on these issues for the next release.

I have a feeling they gave the V2 "upgrade" to a new and budding birdman coder, thinking "how bad can the new kid screw it up" since it is one of their most stable models. Probably not the best idea...

There is a thread about the 337 on the P3D side. I think if your vid card can handle DX-10 then that shouldn't be a prob, at least the way I understand it.
This pic is from P3D V3.4 Nav lights look okay to me.

For those still interested Carenado has released V2.1 which at least on my PC has fixed the lights issues in DX10. Got mine directly from Carenado so don't know if other venders have updated their installer yet.
 
The lights have been corrected and also the GTN 750 housing in the VC! Way to go Carenado!

:applause::applause:

Indeed lights corrected, but my switches won't sound even with this new update, any ideas? Thanks,

One would be to keep version 1 and install the Daniel Gauthier cockpit sounds tailor made for the aircraft.
They're in the Avsim Library, cockpitsound_337.zip and probably better than what Carenado can't make work.
For anyone who doesn't know, Daniel is the genius behind the cockpit sounds and voices in the C 47 VVC.


 
Yes, that's exactly how I had v1, I guess that the ticket system may give me an answer. Thanks ncooper.

The Flightsim Store had a stand at the Wings Over the Illawarra air show over the weekend. Apparently Friday was a Trade Day and therefore much of the week would have been taken up with packing, travel, setting up the stand then 3 days of business at the air show, packing after the show, travel home and unpacking.
 
On my Computer an FSX the 337 V2 2.0 has both a landing light and taxi light switch
Taxi light turn on cover center left of runway
Landing turn on cover center left of runway the same as Taxi light??

I would believe the landing light would be center right and or at least show an increase in the brightness
 
I take it this "new version" is nothing like the major leap take, for example, with the RealAir Dukes? Why is it worth getting if you have the original model?

In my case: the GTN750 integration in the model.

no the new version is just a HD version of the previous release, with some minor fixes and some overlooked shortfalls but cosmetic wise, from my end it does look a lot nicer

however the bugged release can be easily fixed if you keep the old aircraft.cfg and do some copy and pasting,
