Carenado Cessna C337 Skymaster for FSX is released!!

Is there no manual for the 337? There are various checklist and such, but nothing specifically discussing everything within her. It is a beaut of a plane and the sounds are what I remember as a kid growing up.

Ultimately, was trying to find how to work the autopilot, not all buttoms seem to work or perhaps it's operator error.

The autopilot seems to be the one thing that's not documented at all. What is it you're trying to do? There's a discussion of it over at the official Carenado forums that has a lot of useful info: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/347186-c337-autopilot/
 
The autopilot took a little to figure out, but i flew an autopilot ILS approach using an approach plate no problem. To change altitudes, use the little pitch wheel next to the master switch below the throttle quadrant. a few spins of the mouse scroll wheel to set a pitch, then when reaching the desired altitude, press the altitude button on the AP panel. I would assume on the real aircraft there would be an AP kill switch on the yoke, so you should either map one to your joystick, or just pan down to the AP master switch to shut it off when you reach the MDA

Bill, thanks for the link to their forum regarding the AP. Basically, I was just trying to get it to engage the way I normally woul in other GA planes by simply clicking on the autopilot and selecting the NAV setting. I'll tinker some more with it tonight and this week.

Matt
 
I've noticed the HDG and the NAV holds disengage when you make a pitch change, not sure if that is real or if it is a bug.
 
How do you change the 2048X2048 DXT5 4 mg bitmaps to something smaller, likeDXT3 1 mg? I can barely run it with these large Bitmaps.

Any chance of any painters doing one or the other of these schemes? I remember being a kid in Germany seeing the all grey variants from time to time, usually during REFORGER exercises, they were always so cool.

Matt
 
Very nice paint gradyhappyg I like that brown/green. Looking forward to the Gray one too :applause:

Interesting, but if Carenado was to do the O2 VERSION of the 337 it would be the first military plane for them :kilroy:

You are forgetting their T-34 Mentor...

I remember i wrote them a 'thank you' after their first Bonanza release. Just for fun i asked when the Mentor would be released ( by that time Carenado had not mentioned one word about the Mentor...), expecting nothing. Proved they were way ahead of me. I got an answer back saying that the Mentor was in the works, only a couple weeks more until release...

Write them a thank you note for their excellent 337 and just casually ask them about the O2. Good chance it might work again. :cool:

cheers,
jan

a very good suggestion Sir :wavey:Thank you
 
That USAF scheme looks excellent, gradyhappg! Nice shots.
I'm very much tempted to buy this now.

:ernae:
Cheers,
Mark

PS: I wish the FAC version would have the door and side with the windows in them - but you can't get all, I guess.
