    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Carenado C170B out

Hey all,

Does anyone here know how to get the tablet back after closing it?

I've tried finding the info in the manual but there isn't anything there!

Cheers,

Keith.
 
I'm glad I bought this, it's a gem. Superb modeling, great sounds and a cockpit that would make any 50's Buick proud!
 
Loving the plane...excellent work
a note about cylinder head temperature gauge. Once engine started it rapidly climbs to well over 300Âş stops at gauge end red warning light on, and remains there for the duration of flight. Unable to find a radiator shutter control, looks there's none, and no reference in manual. This does not affect flight, at least short ones I made.
 
Noticed the same thing on mine. Could not find any shutter controls either. Did not show any cooling after shutdown, either.
 
Amazing.

Carenado Support, Jul 23, 2021, 22:35 GMT-4:Greetings,

Thank you for your feedback, we are aware of this issue and we are working to fix it for the next version of this aircraft.

Regards,



Carenado.


 
Carenado has just announced the release of an update, version 1.1, for the C170B, which among other things reportedly fixes the CHT gauge. I still need to pick this beauty up one of these days.

So, I was excited to see that I could download this in the Xbox version, but the engine dies when starting on the runway and you can't get rid of the tablet (it even shows if you hide the yoke). Setting the tablet to "ready for takeoff" didn't work because you can't select the "Done" button on the tablet.

Guessing I might want to add a mouse to my Xbox while these initial glitches are worked out...
