  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Cessna outside air temperature oddity

I found this while entering the game from a parking area in the Cessna 152 Aerobat;

This is indicating well below -60F° or -50C°. It return to normal once main battery is switched ON;

As the OAT is not linked to the electrical circuit (or any other circuit for that matter...), it should be considered as one minor technical issue, don't you think? This quirk is present on both Cessna 152 and Aerobat. Maybe it is on other a/c.

Yep - the scale is completely off on that gauge. If you do the math, both scales meet at -40°F/C. It also shows 0°C matching up somewhere around 22-23°F.
 
My main concern was the "dead OTA" on a cold start-up but you're right;

The scales are way off. Thanks to TrackIR, I took the picture on the top, the bottom one coming from a parts dealer.

Now; which scale, if any, is giving the real temperature?:dizzy:

P.S.- After a quick experiment, I would say that the Celsius (C) scale is the one closest to temperature settings.

Zendesk follow-up says SOLVED!

A short look after the latest upgrade says "ahem... NO"...

Anyone else could confirm?
 
I haven't looked yet, but I'd say it's probably on their next major update.

Edit - just saw there's a new update avail. now. Checking...

Edit 2: Looks like only the A320 and B787 were touched on this update.

Another edit... A few other planes and some more generic instrument folders were also updated. Go to Packages\Official\One Store then sort by date modified to see all of it.
