Fw190A late variants released!

hahaha its not cheating if you land at a field and fill up at the fuel box! I havent tried to duplicate it again maybe ill give it a shot tonight. you should be honored, I never fly long enough to run a planes tanks dry, this puppy has my attention!
 
Hi Mathias,
I have solved some of my problems now. After creating a different default flight, the fuel system works like it should I still geht the flying tip that I am critically low on fuel, but the engine keeps running until the tanks are really empty. So I ignore the tips or just deactivate them.


Only remaining thing is the hammering sound on the A-5, A-6 and A-7. It is definetely not the sound of a dry fuel pump. It sounds more like the first startup loop of the engine. It starts after about 15 minutes and i cannot stop it. Neither with the fuel pump switches, neither when I pause the sim or when I shut the eingine and shutoff all systems. When I end the flight the sound fades out like a dying engine. After resuming the flight, the hammering sound is back again. When this sound appears during flight all systems keep on working and the aircraft is fully contrallable, you can land, take off, the fuel system works, but the hammering sound doesn't go away. I presume this effect could be related to a soundcard incompatibility.
 
Thanks for the report Woja.
Say, can you do me a favour?
When you open the folder FSX\Sound\ClassicsHangar you see a number of wav files named SND1.wav through SND27.wav.
Can you listen through the sounds and - if you can identify the offending one - tell me the file name?
Would help greatly to debugg the issue.
Thanks again!
 
Aha, thanks!
It's the detonation of the canopy emergency release.
When it loops, does it repeat like 5 - 10 times a second or just approximately once per second?
 
Ok, great.
I've send you a pm with a possible fix. Only for the first A-5 in the selection screen.
Do you think you can test if it fixes the sound loop?
Thanks!

Mathias, I get an error with the 1.02 exe that says Fw190A-8\model.1\Fw190A8_Interior.MDL: unknown version.

Any ideas?

Same here
This program cannot update the installed version of Fw190A, the late variants, because of the following reason:
D:\ etc.\classics_hangar_fw190a-8\model.1\Fwa8_interior.mdl:unknown version

Yes, I screwed!:monkies:
Sorry for that.
Re-download and run it again, it will now install correctly over both V. 1.0 and 1.1.
 
Thanks, Mathias, and to be clear, I should download the complete installer and run it, overwriting the existing installation?

No, just download and run that tiny little update application from the link above,
it will write the updated portions straight into your existing 1.0 or 1.1 installation, hence the small file size.
 
Mathias, great work on this new package, by you and Alx!!:ernae:
You must check in on your own forum now and then, got some new folks over there,LOL

Scotty, now you got me confused.
Talking about this spam bot that I just banned? :bump:
 
The full installer is now updated to the latest version and it's now multi-lingual englisch/german. So if you prefer to have a one-click installer rather than installer plus patches just re-download the full pack from the Classics Hangar Shop.
 
Hi Mathias,

Just want to congratulate you on this awesome product. Purchased it about a week ago and have been enjoying flying the new variants over my Christmas break, and been getting lots of hours of flying time in with them. The attention to detail is amazing both inside and outside the aircraft and it goes great with your early variants.

Can't wait to hear what aircraft you plan to do next, but I will definitely be getting it also when it is finished as your aircraft are among the best for FSX :applause:
