JF Lockheed Electra released!

One also must remember which sim they are flying the Electra in. I was on the Beta team for the JF/AH F-27 and tested exclusively in P3D V2.4/5 and found problems that did not exist in FSX.

Not everything that works in FSX will work 100% in P3D. Also I believe the correct procedure for highlighting faults is to visit the JF Forums and raise the problem there. AH only constructs the aircraft and then it is up to JF when they release the model and I believe they compile a list of faults and then ask AH to update or correct them. Once that is done then JF will release the Service Pack. I don't believe these forums are the correct to highlight any faults.

So I suggest everybody take a deep breath and join the Just Flight forums and discuss any problems with the Electra, F-27 and whatever aircraft JF releases.

Good God man how the devil are you? If ever there was a guy who knew how to ruin a perfectly good add-on it was you...
Miss you man.

Keep well, safe and happy my friend. :engel016::very_drunk::very_drunk:

I disagree with what you say.
Forums work very well with respect of addons. The response from the forum users can make you decide or not to buy an addon.

Its the only way we have in this jungle.

Hardly.
If I have a problem with one of my cars or bikes I don't rant at BMW or KTM, I go to the dealer.
Forums have their place and provided you look for answers in the correct manner (It costs nothing to be polite!) that is fine.
Just remember that abusing developers is NOT TOLERATED.

Hi all,

I just wanted to clarify what is going on with the Electra service pack (the same process applies to all of our third-party developed products). Once the developers have supplied the required fixes, our testing team will confirm that all of the reported issues have been addressed and we will then update the manual if required. We will then upload the service pack and contact everyone who purchased it to let them know its available.

We expect the Electra SP to be available soon but we can't provide a release date as it all depends on when the files arrive, how the testing goes and what changes are required to the manual etc etc. Needless to say, as with all of our products we will work hard to release it ASAP, but both the developer(s) and Just Flight have very finite resources with which to balance new releases, updates and the day-to-day running of a business - a commercial reality for all small businesses.

Thanks
Martyn - JF
 
Very nice mate. Cooper? Brabham? Lotus? (no not Lotus surely) Lola?:very_drunk::engel016:

Brabham BT-14/15/16/18 it looks to me. I have a 1967 BT-21 in which I make a total fool out of myself occasionally at Brands Hatch and Goodwood. Wonderful fun.

Martyn,

Thanks for the update.
I just downloaded it and made a quick tour.

Some quick remarks
- when the plane is idle on the runway, the tail wheel is not in contact with the ground : could you suggest the updated values to set for the corresponding contact point (and/or a static_pitch)
- in the aircraft.cfg I see a new [fltsim] JK_RCAF7631, but the texture folder is not there !
- the aircraft.cfg as lost all the fltsim descriptions (that's a pitty)


I like so much this aircraft that I would like it to be perfect !

You drive one of those suicide wagons?

You sir have my respect... You wouldn't get me near one of those monsters!
 
SP works very, very nicely. Thanks, Bazzar and Martyn and your respective teams!

To all: a question - does anyone have any power settings tables handy? I'm feeling my way, and finding out that she's a slippery devil. Not at all like the DC-3 I'm used to. More like the P-38 that I'm also used to... or at least, something in between. At 29 MP and 2100 RPM, she's fast and doesn't want to settle. Maybe something lower? Open to advice from any Electra-knowledgeable friends. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: OK, have re-R'd TFM and reminded myself that it calls for 2000-2500 RPM in climb and cruise. I'll try for the lower end of that range, maybe with less manifold. I guess the overall idea is, set RPMs and then set manifold accordingly. Would still like to know what "recipe" others are using, though. Thanks again!

Hard to find any L10 POH anywhere.
But this might do. http://aero-enginesinc.com/maintenancetips/985engineoperation.html
 
@Robert41 - thanks, that helps. On a second flight, found it did OK at 25 and 2000 - on the high end of your power table, but better than it had been at higher settings. Still a handful, though. Will try something even more conservative next time.

@MustangL2W - ADF worked for me - or at least, it seemed to track something in the general vicinity of the NDB I tuned. Didn't really test it with any precision but it appeared to be responsive. Will try testing this a little further, too.
