Firstly,
Thank you Milton for being helpful here.
Falcon,
Rightly and thank you that you brought up the issue. As Milton suggests it was uploaded by me and modded somewhat by Erwin for FSX, so you could always PM us for answers etc. Chris does not take any responses as he doesn't want to get involved with any issues, he's just a generous and excellent modeller.
I try and make his ac available across as many sims as possible so as many people as possible can appreciate his work and have a fly. I got the glass specifically modded for FSX as so many FSX'ers banged on about it in the Fs9 forum. Unfortunately nothing is perfect and each sim, and each person's sim's set-up is different so that not all will work correctly for all, the AP being the case. But I hope you still like the ac?
Cheers
Shessi
ps Be nice if you attached an updated cfg, to allow others to benefit from your discoveries, thank you.
Just a few points to make Shessi:
First and foremost I do appreciate the aircraft being made available for users of FSX. I do not normally find this type of aircraft appealing, however after flying it a few times I found that I enjoyed it very much. So much so that I have reworked all the exterior textures to 4096x4096 dds textures and am now slowly redoing all the interior textures to higher res as well. So, yes, I do like the aircraft.
I didn't try to PM you or Erwin about the AP because I figured if it was something you were familiar with it would have been corrected before it was released and if you weren't familiar with it's function you wouldn't have known how to correct it anyway. The fact that Milton was the only person to answer told me that either no one else uses the AP or those that did try it found what I found and corrected it. Also the AP malfunction isn't something that would arise based on various sim setups. . .it was something that would be a problem regardless of the sim setups. . .until those gauges were changed to function correctly the AP wasn't going to work. I certainly understand Chris not wanting be involved in trying to correct problems that would arise with an airplane that is being used in a sim he didn't design it for. Too many headaches there for sure.
I will post the corrections I made, but for those who know what they're doing and are reading this but not joining in the conversation, you may even find problems with what I did. . .all I can tell you is, it worked for me and I'm content that I didn't break something else in the process. The Electrical section was originally just the first 4 lines, the remainder I took from another aircraft, deleted those portions I felt were irrelevant to a 2 engine setup and added to what was already there. The last three gauge sections I simply changed the type from"vacuum" to "electric"
