Hoping PC Aviator gets this soon. Still showing v1.02 there.

Seems to take a long time sometimes for PC Aviator to post the latest version of things.
If it takes too long ask the developer to give them a strong nudge.

Right, Growlers never had guns.
How on Earth did I not notice that??!!! Sorry folks, converting three aircraft types, across three different platforms, each with slightly differing requirements means that inevitably I miss some things, usually after I start to go cross-eyed. An easy fix for anybody with basic knowledge of the paint kit. I'll put it on the list for a future update.

Thanks for your kind words, Tom, appreciation for the free updates seems to be in somewhat short supply at SoH today! They'll both be making their way to MSFS as soon as I can get them ready, hopefully this year

Hi Dean! Am really stoked about this upgrade. Thanks so much for addressing the reheat effects.
I’m not able to get any update from PC Aviator on this. Anything you can do from your end? I can pm you my invoice, order details, etc.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Dean,
Anything you can do is much appreciated. I’ve emailed and even called long-distance within their hours of of business. Nothing. I’m rethinking my vendor choice for my next purchase, as this is getting silly. Sure looks good, though, and my frustration is decidedly on the vendor, not the dev. I know this (and the F-15 Eagle) is a wide-reaching offering, and the availability of the F/G models was a particular draw. So no complaints and kudos from me.
Here’s hoping they’ll come through without my having to repurchase-that’d be a measure of last and particularly displeasured resort.

Hi Dean,
Thanks - I'll reach out to them, but I guess I don't see why they'd owe me any support if I never bought that product from them - not sure what my "approach angle" would be, other than asking for a favour. I suppose I don't like asking for help from a company without a good reason on which to appeal for it.
Anyway, I'll keep banging away on this and not chug up the thread further with my issue - though if anyone else who's bought this lovely addon from PC Aviator and has gotten the V3 update from them, please advise or PM me with how you made out.
Thanks again,

No, I meant that I would reach out to them, and get you a copy rather than you paying again. I will e-mail JF now to get them to nag the other vendors to get into line

Ah - now I understand. Very kind. I’ll pm you my order details.

You must be very persuasive Dean! I just got the email from Simmarket (where I had purchased the F-18) that they've upgraded
to v105.
Thanks for all your efforts!

PS: Simmarket also said in the email that they had upgraded the F-15. Their F-15 download shows v103, but I can't recall if
that was the original version, or if it's new.

I can also confirm this as well. I also bought mine from Sim-Market and got the product update email. Did the upgrade early this morning.

Thanks for your offer of support Dean - got my latest version. I'll skip over what it took to get it, and the quality of support PC Aviator gave, as that frustrating aspect is a topic all it's own.
As to the model, the AB and light glitches look much better, thanks for addressing that. Two small issues I detected:
1) AB/reheat on single seat model looks fine. But on the 2 seat (F/G) it flickers and doesn't project the full luminous effect. I tried various repaints, but it persists as correlating somehow to those 2 models. Anyone else find that difference from the full, bright effects of the E? This is kind of a biggie, and the F/G being key models/reasons for purchasing this, I'd be keen to find a fix.
2) With PBR, the tanks - especially wing tanks - come out very dark, almost black. I tried a few repaints and in all three models (E/F/G). Is this something anyone else sees, and does it merely require tweaking in MCX? Flying with wing tanks are a common, but if need be, "avoidable" loadout if needed, but it'd be ideal if they rendered a bit more accurately. I'd say this is a minor issue compared with 2), but worth raising, I think. All other wing-load weapons render perfectly fine
I should add that I've completely removed the earlier version before installing this version.
Thanks Dean, it's a gorgeous product, and I hope to put lots of hours onto it.
cheers,

Hi Daniel, glad PC Aviator got their act together!
These are strange issues and they're not appearing on my versions of the aircraft. I will take another look at them to be sure, but there haven't been any other reports of anything like this. Could you remind me of which version of the sim you use so I can check it out? It might just be a missing texture or something, as that can cause some surfaces to go dark when they're PBR materials.

Hi Dean.
That’s clever thinking, given the other tank issue, which until reading your post I wouldn’t have thought to be related.
Sorry I didn’t post sim version earlier - P3Dv4.5. No other sky or environmental addons.
Thx.

Hi Daniel,
Bugs confirmed in both cases. I will investigate and fix - probably a texture fault of some kind. Very odd that the "E" model was not affected. I'm afraid it'll be another update, but this time Just Flight will no doubt push the other vendors a bit more quickly.
I'll get it done as soon as I can
