JF Canberra PR9 is out

I've got my throttles assigned via FSUIPC & they work fine for me.

As long as FSUIPC is making use of the default FS throttle events (shown in the Controls > Axis menu) then your hardware should work fine with the Canberra.

The tool also works fine under Win8.1, but I'm finding that the frame rate hit I have with this aircraft makes it unusable.

I have raised a ticket, but nothing has come of it.

Just arrived back from holiday so I don't have the full details, but I believe that one of my colleagues is looking into this.

Sorry if this has been answered before (didn't read the whole thread).

But why the offset cockpit? Is there a reason for this or is it just more quirky British engineering?

"Quirky British engineering"? That would be a YES - especially if you remember that only British engineers would put two cannon in front of a fuel tank.

I bought the PR9 at release and had big big problems with ultra low frame rates [FSX ground to a halt basically]...

Wanted to give a a huge thank you to George at Just Flight for excellent customer service!

The upshot is that my problem was fixed after much patient toing and froing. It turned out that unchecking 'run in windows 7 mode' [I have W7 64bit by the way] in the FSX.exe compatibility settings did the trick.

Best regards, Dave [a quirky British engineer] :wavey:

p.s. The offset PR9 cockpit might have been for improved pilot visibility... Not sure. Loving the T28D Anthony btw. :applause:

All the EE/BAC Canberra's had the pilot offset to the left side (T.4 had duel controls for training and therefor a right pilot seat), the older B models just had a larger "fishbowl" canopy over it. Might also be something about the British tradition of having the pilot (skipper) in the left seat on multi crew aircraft.

The Americans of course changed this to a more traditional centre fuselage tandem layout for their Martin B-57 version..

Not in the B57A they didn't !!

The left seat was a hangover from the B(I) 8 Canberra; (for cost reasons) from which the PR9 was developed

Looks like you are commenting to me :encouragement:

I assume you are referring to the configuration tool compatibility rather than any issue with the aircraft itself?

An update will be available shortly which will address the issue with the tool in Windows XP. The update will also add new features such as misting/fogging of the canopy, a real-time flight analysis section in the tool etc

[h=6]• I am experiencing extremely low frame rates of about 0.5 FPS when using the Canberra.[/h]Please make sure you do not have the 'Run in Windows 7 (or XP etc) compatibility mode' option enabled. You can access this by right clicking on your FSX.exe > Properties >Compatibility (see below for reference).

Unfortunately I do not have such an opportunity!
I do not offer this option in XP

I should think the real reason for the offset in the original design was that the Bomb Aimer sat alongside the Navigator on his bang seat behind the pilot, but when near the target he then had to transfer to the nose position to do his job!
I do not know the internal arrangement of the PR version, but is the Nav/camera operator in the nose & does he have to transfer back to his bang seat?
Another quirky kite is the Sea Vixen with an offset canopy.....
