  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    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.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

GAS Stearman SOH Community Sale

I love the Stearman.

Although I don't have MSFS ( still with FSX:SE ) , I do get to fly Stearman 203 in real life ....


 
I've transferred the textures for LN-VAR to all 3 Stearman models. The original LN-VAR is a PT-17 with a R-670 Continantal engine and wooden propeller. The GAS PT-17 Stearman don't have option for the wooden propeller. So I choosed the PT-17 model (with pitch propeller), as that was the one most similar to the original. The red "Fire extinguisher" placard on port side is not present on the original aircraft. I've tried to remove that placard, but I am not able to do so.

for this,and then it is ok,you see only a little from the parts,but get the same colour.

Autopilot = 1

I used to find in P3D that GAS aircraft were amenable to AP tweaking in the .cfg files so you could get a basic Autopilot working.

I have flown the Stearman a couple of times & tried the basic keyboard AP, (Z & ALT HLD & HDG HLD), but can't get it to take yet.

I've looked in systems.cfg and there is an AP section, with "autopilot_available =1", which, I think, means an AP will work.

So, is there another line somewhere in the .cfg's I need to tweak to get an AP going??

Thanks

systems cfg,

remove the ; before circuit.19 and circuit.20:ernaehrung004:
circuit.19 = Type:CIRCUIT_AUTOPILOT #Connections:bus.2 #Power:0, 0, 10.0 #NamedISABLED Autopilot ; Autopilot 15W
circuit.20 = Type:CIRCUIT_GPS #Connections:bus.2 #Power:0, 0, 10.0 #NamedISABLED GPS ; AS530 45W

This paragraph [AUTOPILOT] is a basic and standard paragraph that has not been used or populated by us.
These Boeing at the time of design had no electronic equipment. Nevertheless to make a slight compromise, we added a simple two-band radio and a transponder, that’s all.

If you still want to use a autopilot, the best would be to use a companion program, like ... that you can find freeware on github: https://github.com/Pomax/are-we-flying

Some ideas:

These lines found in the basic files of the SDK were commented by me in anticipation of future changes, without more. I have not worked on the subject and I cannot give more information.

Ok, thank you.
Not sure which words to remove, or is it the whole line, [both of them]?

Thank you for the clarification.
Very much enjoying the Stearman.
Only looking for an AP as have cataracts & can't stare at the screen for the duration of a long flight.

Thank you.
Not sure if the :jump: face in lieu of the "D" is significant?
Removing ; is all you have to do??

Update
Thank you banjoman
Finally got it to work after taking out the 2, ";", per your instructions.
I found I needed to be patient for the ALT HLD to take effect as initially it started to drop, then slowly levelled out.
Appreciate your assistance.
Now, off to find some more liveries!
