    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.

I had to check the date stamps on the files in the main texture folder, there are three textures dated 01/03/2024: X00_LABELS, PARCEL SHELF and X00_FUSELAGE_LINING.
 
And we got updated mdl´s.

Anyway two more repints from my side.

Please note: due of limited UV-mapping of down front section it can´t be painted more accurate. Not in 8K and not with blender. But I did my very best with this unique repaint.

and D-IFSA of Bundesanstalt für Flugsicherung BFS of 1976. Its a calibrator/airways facility checker. They used in Germany tree Doves until 1976. I saw them when I was a young boy. They are called: "Adidas-Bomber" due of the tree stripes.

Engine starting

This Dove is a superb addition to MSFS and I really enjoy flying it, well done to the designer for choosing this attractive little aeroplane. :encouragement:


Just a couple of things...is there a way to start the engines from within? I activate the battery and both magnetos marked fuel pump but the red start switches just give me a very short prop rotation but doesn't catch...I must be missing something obvious so can anyone enlighten me :banghead:...I hate having to use Control+E.


Also, how do we switch the Nav frequencies from standby to active?


There has been a couple of YouTube reviews already on this little gem and they both resorted to Control+E which I'm sure is not the designers intention but it sure is a lovely aeroplane to fly. :encouragement:
 
A great number of very nice repaints of a wonderful airplane.
But there are a few items that do need a bit of work.
1. the engine power seems to be too much at sea level at least.
2. the throttle response / rpm curve along with the sounds are not linear it seam. It’s almost as if there are only three speeds
3. prop pitch shows no response to the cockpit controls….they move, but the engines don’t care.
4. NAV and COM freqs can be dialed in, but no flip-flop from standby to active.

i tried to tinker a little with the files myself, like in the old days, but I was not able to do much beyond that changing the associated sound file, as was suggested earlier in the thread.

I don’t mean to criticize, simply pointing out things that I noticed. Maybe someone has already made fixes for these….and in the end the model as a whole can be improved collectively.

Cheers

Spoiler Alert

Just spotted: you can open the starboard engine panel with the "water rudder" key and the cabin door with "spoiler". Nice touch!

Hello everyone,
I would first like to thank Robcarrich for this beautiful gift he is giving us with this DH 104. I am a fan of De Havilland propellers.
I loaded the update that recently occurred but I did not find a "readme" file in the .ZIP archive.
Anyway, thank you again for this beautiful plane. If I dared, I would ask Robcarrich if he couldn't create for us the "big brother" of the little dove, I mean the DH 114 Heron. ;)
Thanks again Robcarrich.
Have a nice day everyone!

Good evening everyone,
I share with you my fictitious livery for the DH 104 Dove.
This is the adaptation of the livery of the DH 114 Heron "Duchess of Britany" of the Air Jersey company in the 1950s.
I still have a few touch-ups to do.
Good evening, good luck to you.

Lovely model and lovely handling too. Great repaints emerging. Like others, I'm moving the prop pitch levers, but nothing's happening to the RPM. Looking through the thread, I hope Rob can delve into it.
 
Just got around to finishing G-ARHX

Rob- she looks lovely, thank-you! The one aircraft I sorely miss from FSX days is the HS748. I have many hours, staring out of the portholes at the screaming Darts as a young lad, and miss the sights and smells. Rick Piper's model and the following NAMC kept me enthralled decades ago. Is there any chance you would consider tackling this beauty from the days of yore?
