Carenado Cessna C337 Skymaster for FSX is released!!

I was always curious why the O-2s had their spinners removed. Better cooling? Weight? Quicker access for hub/propeller removal and replacement?
 
According the unofficial Carenado support forum at Avsim, a service pack is now available.

Released September 7 2011, 1700 GMT

Modifications:

- Low RPM sound loop issue was solved.
- Clickable area of the GPS was extended (now covering the entire screen).
- Differential braking scale was adjusted.
- Correction to the brakes map for braking with left or right wheel independent.
- Door´s screw remained static and didn’t move with the door. Now it is fixed
- Statics elements were adjusted to the level of the ground.
- Thermometer had a bug and was indicating wrong temperature. Fixed.
- Pop-up GPS showed a different button from the one in the VC. Fixed.
- MPH airspeed indicator marking (inner circle) was adjusted.
- Some corrections to the description of the aircraft were done.

We also added the autopilot on/off switch to the Autopilot light indicator because many people don’t find the autopilot switch (which is located below the power section). Now both work as autopilot on/off switch.

The Service Pack is available at our webpage for all the customer who have bought the aircraft.

**This is a private update, so you need to log in first.**

NOTE: After applying this service pack the aircraft will go back to its original configuration with the Carenado GNS530.

You only have to run the corresponding application to configure with your Reality XP configuration.

You don’t need this Service Pack if you download the aircraft after September 7, 2011 at 1700 GMT.

Hello,

Congratulation for this incredible skin, I really like your work.
But I've a little question for gradyhappyg about the wheels's doors, if I said no mistake with your skin there's no a texures for your "wheels's doors", for me your "wheels's doors" are black and without textures...
Is normal ?

Please can inform me about these skins ?

Best regards, Olivier.

Here a comparaison with your work and the original aircraft:

Seems you are right Skull. Good eye. Same thing with the OD skin. Guess I didn't check the gear doors while they were retracting. That happens kinda fast plus they are kind of dark anyway and I missed it on the texture sheets. Rookie painters LOL! Have to go back and find the inner gear door textures and perhaps go with a more fitting military zinc chromate green. Give me a couple of days and I should have it fixed.
 
Has anyone got a prop feathered? Pulling back the RPM lever all the way back doesn't seem to be working and slowing down to stall speed doesn't have any effects on my rpm as well ...
 
There is a patch out at Carenado's site for the 337 to fix some issues. Over on there forums at Avsim are somemore fixes too.
Fromw hat i see with the default texures that come with it the inside of the gear doors and wells are black.

Yes. It works the same way as in the default planes like the Baron etc.
If you have tooltips enabled and you pull the prop lever fully back, you can see that it reads 0% and not (yet) feathered.
For the final few inches of prop lever travel you need to use the key combo for 'decrease RPM' to make the prop to actually feather.

I guess MS implemented this 'feature' to avoid accidential feathering by just pulling the lever too far aft.
 
I have to concure with BStolle on this. I was working on an airplane once that is famous for its ability to back up, using props alone, and it drover me nuts for over three months. I'm afraid that even with my most imaginative programming, all i got was a mess.. There's simply no way around this. Ctrl-F2 is usually set up to rapidly reduce rpm. It is also the normal key combination that will reverse the props. But you may want to take a look at your button assignments..

Thank you very much :ernae:

CTRL F2 did it for me. Never had a clue that it worked the same as F2 for reverse thrust on jets and turbines.

There's no problems, you know it's not easy to created the skins for this new aircraft and this little textures's problem it's nothing...
Once again I'm a great fan of your work, congratulation for this awesome texture :applause:

Best regards, Skulleader :icon29:
