Unfortunately so many developers are using FB more and more for their updates. Guess I'll have to do a weekly FB plant into I wish they would post on here, as well as Avsim.

I hope the fix comes soon, would really like to fly it to it's truest potential...anyway, back to SFNA, it's very immersive.

I'll be honest guys.We took the fde as far as we could with what was there and i wont be developing it any further.Also I have severed my ties with SOH except for the completion of the P-61, and will no longer be here. If anyone wants to upload their copy of the fde or share it, i have no issues. Please feel free to do so. I however, now that Iwo Jima is finished, am outta here, but will make certain that the P-61 is finished for you all as well as the SU-37..
Thanks
Pam

Wow! I missed something along the way with your departure Pam. I look forward to the P-61 release and hope you will return at some point. You've truly brought much to this community during my tenure. Also, I appreciate what you've done, on your own, to tweak the FDE. I will still await Iris to fix it, as I feel it's their baby and bath water to do so with. Please check in from time to time and tell us how you're doing. I know I'll miss your interactions and contributions and wish you the best of luck.

Matt
 
Thanks for the help while you were here Pam. Sorry to see you go.

In the meantime, I'll be standing by for updates.

2.1 FDE

Hi Guys,

I have just read this WHOLE thread and am blown away by the response you get here and not much from IRIS????

However, i feel that i have come in a bit late and have missed pam's 2.1 FDE?

How could or would i get a copy of this 2.1 FDE?

I have been flying the Spartan around PNG and have found that any airstrip above 5000ft she does not like to get abouve 70 kts for take off and the STOL capabilities are better in the C-130???

I have the current patch from IRIS v1.2.

Cheers.

Tim....
 
Well, in the spirit of allowing the customers to do the talking, any chance of seeing the FDE officially updated anytime soon? :guinness:

I really like the looks of this bird, but it has some glaring bugs too it and it's a shame it's only drawing dust in my hangar. I think one thing that may stop the buggering is if some updates were regularly posted to keep us at bay. I know of the injuries and mother nature's wrath that's been inflicted on David and Karen and glad to see them doing better, but with the Mudhen finalized, please tweak this one, it really looks great but flies like hell.

I got this response from a PM a couple of days ago. Looks like it is not forgotten.

"we have a number of projects & updates scheduled and have the C-27J as the priority update & fix. Unfortunately, at this time the engines & reverse thrust issue are tied up with the new update and a quick fix can't be applied. Think of it as a good time to make a cuppa or read the headlines whilst the spooling happens. ;-)

If you are a member, please fan us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/irissimulations as I will be releasing more information there over the coming week with a bug fix list for the C-27J. The news will make it to here on SOH, however it's often quicker for updates direct from us on FB at this time.
 
Yup, it's on the priority list for an update, the F-22 is getting an overhaul and the C-27J is getting an update. We did announce some time back that DB wasn't going to be working for a couple of weeks due to my sister arriving from the UK for a 2 week visit, she flew out at 0340 this morning. He's back to dev work in the next few days, and I've been getting Admin done, where I could. He's take the time off to also rebuild his PC so look forward to some new dev shots too being released!

In the next week (maybe end of next week, I need to iron out some release bugs) you will see a list of projects and a new way of communication & bug fixes. All will be announced on Facebook, our site & our forum. It will make it's way over to here - remembering this isn't an official support forum - it's always best to hang tight and watch the FB page for the time being as I normally am the one that updates everything there. :-D

Your C-27 forum hasn't been updated by anyone from IRIS in quite some time, hence why many of the questions have been asked here. Not everyone is on facebook.

But thank you for the update Karen.

Just installed 2.0 and now she will not fly!

Full throttle and will not get over 40 knots
Great!
Rick


Reinstalled 1.2 and all is well
 
Rick,

Some slight adjustments have been made to the autostart feature and as such, the associated aircraft checklist. Once the engines are idling post start, switch the prop control switches to the NORM position and you should be good to go.

What's happening is you're likely trying to take off with feathered props.

The revised manual covers these items.

Regards
 
Is it the hotfix that is proper way of updating the product, or you also have updated the installer as well?
 
The main installer from the stores has not been updated. The hotfix is the recommended way to upgrade the purchased product.
 
Thanks very much for the update. Just one more question:

do we still need to use the simplified flight model, after the update?
 
No, you can return the sliders back to your max realism settings if you like. That's how we've been flying it.. :)
