First, a great job Dean to you and your team. This is an excellent airplane and you and your team did not spare many details. Thank you. In addition to the niggles already mentioned, I experienced something unmentioned up to this point. I'm running FSX-A, plane loaded fine and after engine start attempted to taxi to runup area. At 45"MP, and prop RPM @2400, airplane didn't move. Further examination revealed that even though the prop levers are animated correctly, (Ctrl-F3 for increasing Prop RPM) the RPM gauge is not. It appears to work in reverse whereas Ctrl-F2 increases the Prop RPM indication. To taxi and T/O, the RPM gauge is actually reading minimal. Other indicators seem to reflect expected values. Oddly, while flying, CTRL-F3 will, in fact, increase prop rpm. Not sure what I'm missing here. The performance is excellent, fun and, thankfully, challenging. Just one other observation and question, in this d/l, the Black Widow texture, the cowl flaps, prop spinner and top of the nose is a light OD color. Is this what is to be expected? Not sure. Just asking, perhaps my rig is choking on some colors. I didn't know if these areas were chrome, black or some other color. Again, thank you and your team for a job very well done. This must have been quite a formidable airplane in its time. I'm really enjoying it. Thank you....Terry
Ok. Lets go take a look at this one now..
Ok, so here's where we start.. Grab your favorite beverage, kick your shoes off and get comfy.
First, I'm running fsx:SE and whatever the latest update to that is, on a ryzen 5 and a gtx 1070.
Hardware aside, control F-whatever, doesnt work on SE. F2 decelerates and F3 accelerates.
the thrust levers in my VC work as expected, as do the F keys, and the throttles as well..
My "suspicion" is that its acceleration thats messing you up. The entire plane was developed in P3D and then recompiled for FSX, WHICH could be part of the problem as we now have three sets of code we're dealing with ( P3D, FSX, and acceleration ).
obviously things are already complicated so i'm going to start with the most drastic option..
Do you hate Steam ( lot of people do and I highly dislike them )??
FSX:SE is on sale and bundled with Active Sky right now for 25 dollars. Is this an option you would consider??
