Attention Kodiak Drivers; new Build; 2.6

Hey all,

I just did a test purchase of Roberts repaint package and the link came right in.

I remembered also that some people couldnt see a link on the contact email that came to them using certain browsers at the time. If you are using FF, you might try IE or Opera or Safari and reopen your mail and see if the link appears.

Also, you can go to www.payloadz.com and check your past purchases and look up your purchase and request another download. Usually you can automatically reload it as you have something like 24 hours to download the package.

Give that a try and see how it goes.

Mr. Bill "LionHeart,"

Are the fixes to the v2.6 installer completed, with the panel updates, the Kodiak Uninstaller, etc.? I wanted to give you enough time because I know you work real hard and there's always sooooooo much to get done. I, also, only had a few hours this weekend to do anything with FSX and really didn't have the time to re-do everything again; however, I will tonight after I get home from work.

Thanks a Million! :wavey:
 
A stupid question and it is probably as easy as opening the CFG and looking but I am at work and cannot. How do we know which version we have installed?

CF is right. Look at the top of your 'aircraft.cfg' file (in Windows Notepad) and you should see "Build 2.6" on there.

Also, your 2D panel will have both Garmin screens showing, and your PFD screen 'Announcements' will now have water rudder and gear annunciator flags (when in Float Plane mode). And the Torque needle will now go to full redline.


If it didnt install, then you probably have FS in a diff drive location. Just run the installer again and direct it to your FS folder and click Install and you should be good to go..

actually, i have a question myself, i been meaning to ask.
when i hit shift+2 for the throttle/prop/fuel dealio, i lose the bottom 20% of my screen until i hide it again. i have no idea how i screwed that up. any idea what i mighta done?

Thats actually easily explained.

In the Kodiak, I do not have a gravitic tripple redundency field damper and with the throttle quad popup, having so many seperate screenshot Bitmaps in it to show 'smooooooth' movements, I had to result to using a zero point singularity to power the gauge to keep it from eating up frame rates.

So, as you can imagine, without the damper field engaged, it literally pulls open a time space chasm or rip in the FS world, creating a temporary paradign rift which thank goodness only lasts until you turn off the said 'high bitmap' contained throttle quad, in which it will then let go of the chasm and the rip disappears....

easy..

:kilroy:


in the mean time, I'll get working on 'why' its doing that..



Bill
 
Ok,
So what you mean is the dynamic harmonizer is experiencing interference with the orbital axis,
due to the longitudinal dihedral being outta sorts with the low level of muffler bearing fluid.
I get it.

I love this bird regardless.

I was at work and had not installed the update, but I was also unsure if I had installed the previous update. So before I downloaded the update I wanted to see if I all ready had 2.5 installed or an earlier version.

I had 2.5 and upgrade installed with no problem.

Where can I find the donationware repaints? I want to donate just don't know how or where.

Hey Mobayrasta,


No worries. It would be cool to figure out a way to have a in-cockpit readout of which Kodiak you had. I'll have to see if thats possible.

I did a section on Roberts Photo Real Mega Pack on the Kodiak webpage at my site. Its here; www.lionheartcreations.com/Kodiak
Just scroll down to the bottom and its right before the real photos section of Kodiaks. There is a sales link that has a little shopping cart painted yellow.

Robert needs a nice little webpage that shows everything so I can link people to it.

Mr. Bill "LionHeart,"

The Kodiak webpage with BananaBob's repaints listings look really nice. :applause:
Its good to see developers come together nicely for mutual advantage on a nice project like this. :applause:

Also, I redownloaded the v2.6; do I still need to extract it to a TEMP location before the install?

Thanks, Amigo! :wavey:


Mr. "BananaBob,"

Sent you a surprise in the mail; and, no, its NOT a "honey"! :icon_lol: You can send me a link to my email which I'll PM to you shortly. Thanks a bunch for the photoreal paintjobs and the installer package to go with it. Look forward to you next projects. :ernae:

Hey James,


Only if you are trying to save repaint registries of past repaints. Then, (the fastest way) is to save your 'aircraft config' file on your desktop (a copy) and then run the updater and or the repaints super pack, and then add your older repaint registries onto your newest 'aircraft.cfg' file and then rewrite the number sequences so they are in order.


I know.. Alot to do.. By now, some of you must have 100 different repaints of the Kodiak (including the float planes). yikes...!

Hey Lionheart, just thought I'd throw this out there, it may be useful, it may not, but just a suggestion for you.

Edit kodiak_ref.htm, and edit the line:

Ok, because the code I'm trying to post is HTML, the forum keeps processing it, even when enclosed in Code tags. I'm attaching a text file with the suggested changes.



Then, whenever you update, you can just change the number next to the word 'Build' (or version, whichever you prefer), and include the updated kodiak_ref.htm each time you update. Doing this would allow us to do a quick version check right through the kneeboard when we're already in-flight. :)

Just thought I'd mention this as a possible way to accomplish what you suggested, of being able to version check from the cockpit. :)

Hope this info is helpful in some way. :)

Thanks George!

Thats an awesome idea Sir.



Bill
 
Thanks Mobayrasta and Lionheart. :) After I read the post about trying to find a way to display the version information from within the cockpit, I started digging around the files, trying to find a good place to put the version information. I finally settled on the reference page of the kneeboard because I figured that was the place where all the aircraft's reference information is listed, and that it would be a very quick and easy text edit to make each time the Kodiak gets updated. I'm just glad that you guys think it'll be helpful. :)
 
Texture change between day & night

Hi, everybody!

Now, that George helped me to get splash sound to my Kodiak, I was tempted to break my "golden rule" - do not update working planes- and downloaded built 2.6 , with the hope of solution for some texture problems, which were also mentioned by a other member.
At dawn and dusk the textures are dull, the orange colour is almost red and the floats are 2 dimensional white. At a special degree of brightness the textures change to their normal look, this change causes me crashes without gamebooster and short freeze with soundloops with game booster.
Any tricks aviable?
The screenshots are only a minute away, perfomance textures installed (no difference to the default ones), default envchrome files installed ( no difference to Bobs ones).
