C-47 from Manfred Jahn and team

Just downloaded and installed last night. This thing looks great! I'm gonna try to read a little and see if I can fly it "per the manual". It's not what I usually do, but this thing just looks to nice to pass up the opportunity!

Thanks!
 
Am I missing something with the oil temperatures ? They tend to stay right at the top of the scale - is that correct ?
 
thank´s for that great plane,

and here some from online flying today

Note these are items 8 and 9 of a file called "readme.txt", a .pdf version of which (with pictorial engine start tutorial) is included in the root V2 folder right on your HD, and you can also get a detailed checklist (Shift-f10) with many a flying tip right in sim. Thought I'd mention it. :wavey:

Hi Manfred,

Congratulations on your amazing work! I wish the payware I buy was of this quality.

I seem to be having a problem with the doors. The passenger/cargo door works as normal with Shift-E but any combination of Shift-E-number just opens and closes the same main door rather than the others.

Thanks again,


Ade

I have them working as advertised ((even without parking brakes set)).

All I can think of is that it might be due to an old saved flight? Does the problem persist if you do a fresh free flight?
 
Shift+e+number, can be a pain in the rear. I found a solution by using DoorControl.cab by Georg Aubele. Get it from Avsim.


It can be used on any aircraft that has multiple doors.

Den.

The whole SHIFT+E then a number things is buggy as all hell at the best of times... It always seemed like a terribly odd way of doing things.

I haven't experienced any problems with it for this model, but on the JF DC-3 it all worked properly when you'd just loaded the plane and were sitting on the ramp - front door, passenger door, steps and cargo door all perfect... Once you'd landed after a flight all that would open was the front door no matter what you pressed....

There's a few door control gauges knocking about that let you click them open and closed and save a whole lot of messing about.

I've just spent some time with it on a fresh flight. It works but seems very hit and miss. The paratrooper door appears quite often but the additional cargo door very rarely opens. Whenever a door keypress doesn't do as it should, it just opens and closes the main exit. This is on the runway with the parking brake off.

I've just tried both the Basler and C-117D under the same conditions and their multiple exits are all working as they should.

It's only a small thing, so I think I'll just try the door gauge others have suggested.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

May I please make a Req and reach out to any painter interested. I am looking for fictitious USCG and or US Customs and Border Patrol scheme.
 
Many thanks to Manfred, Gman, Alexander, Hansgeorg, and Tufun (plus anyone else involved) for all their hard work on V2 or "Goony Bird reloaded. Since Jankees graced me with an Air America repaint, I had to show this venerable workhorse in its unglamorous element, hauling 5000# of cargo from L20A to Vientiane.

Does anyone know how to rewrite a panel.cfg file to create a clickspot on the GNS530 that will trigger a 2d popup window of the GPS? Would be handy for my old, tired eyes.

Regards,
Obie

You could get it via Shift-8. Two steps:

1) In panel.cfg, use this Window titles section:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=Fuel and Payload
Window02=Control Panel
Window03=Mini Panel
Window04=Keys
Window05=Fuel Control
Window06=Start Icons
Window07=GNS
Window08=GPS


2) Further down, add the following:

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window07]
size_mm=500,632 366 + 266
background_color=0,0,0
window_size=0.342, 0.576 = 70%, 100% (4:3) = 0.488, 0.823
//window_size=0.256, 0.576 = 70%, 100% (16:9) = 0.532, 0,823
//window_size=0.285, 0.576 = 70%, 100% (16:10) = 0.592, 0,823
position=2
visible=0
ident=GPS_PANEL
type=SPECIAL
gauge00=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 0,0,500,366
// gauge01=FS9Garmin430_Basler!GNS430_nc2, 0,366,500,266

//--------------------------------------------------------
// [Window08]
// background_color=0,0,0
// size_mm=320,257
// position=8
// visible=0
// ident=GPS_PANEL
// gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0,294,257

This will get you the 530, and optionally the 430, too. Select the proper window size from the options given.

Window08, commented out in this example, gives you the default GPS.
 
I've just done a basic test of the DAK and C-117 in P3D V2. I didn't find any problems. The realistic engine start worked fine and the flight systems were good to go.

Edit: There's one little glitch in the tail beacon. It's showing a ghost square around the halo. This a DX11 thing that I'll sort out and make the necessary mods. Whole new playing field and another learning curve.

I am really enjoying the 47 and the 117 and fly them regularly in Dx10 but I have one minor niggle...the port side window has a flashing texture at the front inner frame where the black window sealant texture covers the cream inner frame. Is there a simple way to cure this?

Thanks Manfred. This looks good but I guess I used the wrong terminology. I was wondering if there was a way to install a mouseover (I called it a clickspot) on the screen of 530 that would open the popup? I have this on another aircraft and it's very handy.
