DeHavilland Dash 7 (FSX Native) released

FSX doesn't support hyperlinks in checklists.

Milton did a single page checklist for the Dash back in october, but the download link is gone. I'll see if I still have it.

I figured it was something like that. I'm totally new to this aircraft, so having those TOL cards available in-flight would really help!
 
I find that the spoilers activate when making a left turn but not when turning right.
Is this how it should be?
 
Noted and fixed. The service pack should have been out already but as they say, more work, less play makes jack a dull boy:dizzy::wavey:
 
Been listening more intently to the cockpit "callouts". . .it seems that no matter whether flaps are extended or retracted, the callout seems to be "flaps is up". I know there's a bit of an accent mixed in there, but is that really what he's saying?
 
Interesting, no one has noticed that regardless of whether the flaps are coming up or going down. . .the callout is the same? "Flaps is up", lol. Checked the sound config file and sure enough, there is only one wave file for the flaps, even though it has more than one position. There are two zipfiles inside the sound folder that contain wav files related to the same function, one in each zipfile and they are identical to what's already being used.
 
What a superb piece of updating work and TLC to get this bird into FSX - THANK YOU! My buddy and I just flew multiplayer into Courchevel LFLJ a couple of times without a scratch... Performed beautifully :applause:

If I might just mention, I spotted that the BAS model has missing textures to the Cargo Boxes [shift+E to open big cargo door].

To fix it, take the file named 'snoskis.bmp' out of the 'Texture.273ma_a_dh7_C-FJHQ_x' folder and put it in the shared 'Texture' folder.

Here's the 'real world' Dash 7 landing at Courchevel...

Nigel has at my request provided a flaps sound without the callout. I will upload it for you when I get home from vacation.
 
The service pack for the Dash 7 will be out in a few hours, just have to finish compiling the remainder of the models. A big thanks goes out to SeanTK for his assistance in testing the updated files for me. The service pack will fix the following:

1.) Inner gear doors throughout all models

2.) Windshield in the virtual cockpit. The glass has no texture applied, only a hardcoded material which cannot be changed unless requested

3.) Missing texture for the "BAS" model

Also, a big thank you to Milton and Mike Kelly for allowing to convert and use their respective work in getting this aircraft into native FSX skies. I originally was going to convert the original model as released in the FS2002/FS2004, but opted to convert this new model instead:wavey: Glad everyone is enjoying this bird, there will be more where that came from:ernaehrung004:
 
The first and hopefully only service pack for our DeHavilland Dash 7 has been officially released. The file will be on Avsim, Simviation and Flightsim.com once their respective libraries are refreshed.
 
Happy to help, and looking forward to future conversions.

For those looking for the service-pack, Avsim now has it in their library as "[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]soh_dhc7x_sp.zip".

Alright time to inspec and fire up the bird for a Tampico MX flight from Corpus. You don't want to see this KCRP scenery err. Anyone in the Scenery Dept of TX here see's this please accept a plea from me for a Coprus KCRP, it's important for my MX Dash 7 duties/smuggling lolol.
