Happy Sunday...I have a couple of small things going on that kinda bug me and if I can fix them it would be nice...
1.In the Iris P-40, I've noticed that when I operate the mixture lever as altitude increases,
that the pitch of the engine sound does not increse when the mix is leaned out as it does in all my other planes. Is this a sound and/or sound .cfg glitch or some tweak that needs to be made in the aircraft cfg?
2.In my trusty ol' default Beech Baron, for some reason the taxi light switch refuses to stay in the on position therfore the light doen's come on...how can I fix that? Seems like it must be something simple.......Other then that, all my FR's are great, the machine is running smooth and the skies are kind!!!! middle
 
Mid,

on point 2, have you installed any upgrades? Such as 3-D lights, etc? Some of these have gauges that control the lights with gear extension/retraction?

Hi JD...I havn't installed any other lights but I did put in a different cfg....I guess I'll have to closely check it. I was hoping there would be an entry that would be "1" for active and "0" for inactive regarding the taxi lights but I will look further. Thanks, mid
 
Check under the [Lights] section in the aircraft.cfg file.

In order to have taxi lighting you need some from of the following entry (unless it is built directly into the model).

light.14 = 6, .84, 0.0, -1.5, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_small, where "6" tells the system it is a taxi light.

I've been using Shockwave for a long time so have no idea what the default listings are.
 
Hi,

Shockwave made automatically a backup of the default planes lights on the installation .. as Shockwave 3D Lights allow (the tool) a return to the original lights

By default the path is:

C:\Shockwave 3D Lights Redux for FS9\ShockwaveLights\Redux_Backup

Inside this folder you will find all the aircrafts (with panel.cfg and aircraft.cfg)

For the Beech Baron the original lights set is:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 3, -6.60, -19.29, 0.79, fx_navred ,
light.1 = 3, -6.60, 19.29, 0.79, fx_navgre ,
light.2 = 3, -25.33, 0.00, 0.72, fx_navwhi ,
light.3 = 2, -6.43, -19.29, 0.79, fx_strobe ,
light.4 = 2, -6.43, 19.29, 0.79, fx_strobe ,
light.5 = 1, -23.98, 0.00, 6.47, fx_beacon ,
light.6 = 2, -7.80, 0.00, -1.60, fx_strobe ,
light.7 = 4, -7.80, 0.00, 2.70, fx_vclight,

For all those Shockwave addicts out there.

I'm one :)
Thank's for the Duck set !
 
The Iris P-40 uses Auto mixture in the aircraft.cfg file.

fuel_air_auto_mixture= 1 //Automixture available? 0=FALSE, 1=TRUE

Is it historically accurate? I don't know.
 
DangerousDave beat me to the answer as far as FS goes. So I'll just throw in that the typical Allison engine indeed did have automatic mixture controls on the P40 from what I have found and talking to the chief mechanic of the shop at my airport that specializes in these magical pieces of engineering.

A bit more info for you on the handling of the P-40
