Incoming: Miviz 'Advanced Series' - T-38A

Alan_A said:
OK, I'm now a T-38 Advanced owner and have a question for the gallery. Is anyone having trouble installing under FSX Steam Edition? My install runs fine, but I have no T-38 item in the add-ons pulldown menu, so I can't access the realism menu. Realism is set to "hard." Engines won't start - I get the ticking sound but no increase in RPM. Checked the dll.xml and found no references to the T-38, which I suspect is the issue. Went looking to see if the necessary lines were written somewhere else but so far haven't been able to find them. Uninstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed, all with antivirus off, but no joy. This isn't an official support request - I've asked for access to the support forum and I'm waiting to hear back. Happy to pursue the issue there. But I thought I'd ask here informally to see if anybody else has run into a similar problem, and what you did about it. Thanks in advance!

I'm not qualified to give support, so my posting in response doesn't count as such. However, I can tell you that I had no issues installing into FSX Steam. It's also worth noting that there is no addition to the dll.xml file, even though I do indeed have a menu option in my Addons menu, 'Add-ons/T-38A Failures Menu'. But if you don't have such a menu appearing, I'm guessing there is an issue that you need official support for.

I was able to get the aircraft started and in the air with no issues & without reading the manual, by following the youtube video on a second screen, pausing it each step of the way, and replicating the actions it it.
 
Thanks, good to know the dml.xml isn't a problem but something's definitely off. I'll hang loose and wait for support forum access. Appreciate the information. Standing by...

Hi,

Due the extreme complexity of this particular aircraft, we've been waiting till we find a coder who is capable of dealing with it.

We have found that coder but he is dealing with some other issues but will start, with luck, in the new year.

Thank you.

This is confusing Kat. I see it on the Milviz site as for sale, but if I understand it, the ADV version is not yet available, given that your coder has apparently not started?

So what version is for sale?

That's correct Dave:encouragement: The T-38A and T-38A ADV are the two models currently available;)

The T-38C is sitting in the hanger awaiting the avionics shop to do their thing. Fortunately, I've got a 2GB hanger so it's not taking up too much room... :very_drunk:
 
Just a HU that Milviz have released an update v3.151212 (full model) for the release T-38A ADV which addresses the aforementioned sound-loop. They work fine for me;)

However.. I'm still seeing the model loading 'hot' and there's no failure config in the Addons dropdown. I've posted as such at Milviz;)

I've solved my startup problem (user error - I was selecting ground power but not clicking on the icon to turn it on). But still no T-38 item in the add-ons pulldown, so no access to the failure control panel. Am now working the issue over on the Milviz support forum.
 
Hi,

We have fixed (and will be sending out soon, if not already) the looping sound issue.

We will also be sending out the update and the ADV to all of our vendors.

Thank you.

Kat.
 
Just an update to report that thanks to the support forum, I've solved my problem accessing the failure generator. It requires the 2013 version of the Visual C++ redistributable (x86), which I hadn't installed. Managed a hot start my first time running the failure system. Fun! Off to cause more damage now...

Alan..
I learned from another post at Milviz that the ADV shouldn't (at the moment at least) start C&D. The new software used to produce the FD precludes the normal methods used to achieve this! That's me sorted;)
