de Havilland Dash 7 FSX Port-Over Released

Pax plane

Thanks Milton for your reply to my quote.

The only other question I have is.

When I go into my sim and select one of the planes.How do I determine which one is the all pax plane with no cargo in it.So when I move myself to the pax area.All there is,is passenger seating?.When I put my mouse over any of the planes.It doesn't indicate which of the three models is an all passenger plane,before I select it?.


One thing I forgot to ask.Are there wing views with this model?.If not will there be updates in the future that adds wing views etc.


Great product Milton.This Dash 7 is just as good if not better than a payware.Hope to see more of your products.I have some of your other planes as well.I'm enjoying all your Avia56 planes as well.I do see there are some fixes out for the AVIA56 Amphibian plane.I have the update download,but I'm not sure how to add the fix for the amphibian etc.

"I'm having an issue with the smoke itself.When I'm sitting at idle and braks set.I have a ball of smoke in front of each engine nose cone.When I start to taxi.The smoke will start to trail back behind the engines as it should.
I don't know how to set the values to move the smoke to the back of the engines,when I'm sitting still?."

My smoke edit uses the normal [smokesystem] effect which is controlled by the "i" key, which by default will always be off. Turning the smoke on while setting still in any plane will cause unusual visuals -- like you have. To get around this, I never turn on the smoke until I'm heading down the runway for takeoff.

Looks like you are using a smoke effect that is shared so I recommend that you do not change it.

However, if you wish to make a copy of the and rename it to dash7start.fx or whatever, you can change the coordinates in the effect for the Dash7.

The effects are offset from the engine locations so you must adjust the offset values.

They look like this and there may be multiple occurrences.

X Offset=-0.55, -0.55
Y Offset=-1.06, -1.06
Z Offset=-1.45, -1.45

To adjust fore/aft, change the Y values to be less positive/more negative.

Values are stated in meters.

I'm currently trying to grasp what your saying.If I'm using a shared smoke effect.Where are some places I can look in my FSX to find a shared smoke effect,other than in each plane I have installed.It would take me forever to check all the planes I have installed.The shared file might be hard to find for me.

The Type in the Airplanes Selection screen for the passenger versions is where you look.

There are two passenger versions, the Factory prototype Dhc-7-1 and the Dhc-7-102.

Just follow the instructions in the Avia 56 update and all should be well.

I'm adding another screenshot.

I see the ones you are referring to.When I downloaded the package.I also downloaded the Asnett paint for it.It does show up as the Dhc-7-102.When I'm in the pax area.It's part cargo and part pax.The reason I'm asking about this is.When I downloaded the package.I looked at the numerous screenshots you have in the download,before I installed it.A couple of the shots show all passenger seating.The others showed two cargo boxes in the front,and pax seats the rest of the way back?.


As new paints come out from other authors over time.I'm assuming I'll add them just like I did with the Asnett paint correct?.Unless I have to edit it's config,to determin which model I want the paint to show up in.Hmmm!.


While I'm here.What is the latest news about your newest version of the Howard 500 for FSX?.Just curious.

I am not aware of any repaints for this Dash 7. The paint kit has not been released. If you downloaded one, it may be for the old version.

There is no new Howard 500 project and I am not involved in any FSX version. TuFun is dressing up the old FS9 model as a texture to be used if you ported over the FS9 version to FSX.

There is a native FSX version that was done with my permissions. I believe it is in the SOH library.

I do have a ported over from FS9 to FSX version.Do I need to get with TuFun.I'm pretty sure I got the updated 500 from SOH,but It's been a while.The one I have is the hw500vc4 I installed it April 2012.

I can't tell in the files who or when It was released.Can you tell me where the latest version is of the Howard here at SOH?.Than I'll have to find out which one Tufun is dressing up?.

You are going way off topic here.

It is the same version, but now with an updated model mapping that he will release with his paints, I guess.
 
Thanks Milton.

I'll have a look see in Tufun's topics.

Thanks again for all your reply's about your Dash-7

Perhaps not on the subject ( Sorry) I have noticed that the Flaps indicator doesn't move pass 25-40° it stops in between. The flap handle, on the throttle panel does move all the way down ; Is this normal?
