Introducing the Avia 51

[Milton Shupe]

Some other issues to address:

1) Stall light
2) CHT not going high enough on full out climb to force you to back off a bit
3) MAP wasn't dropping on high altitude climb
4) Nose overs
5) Lights-right wing green, tail lights-eliminate, tweak interior lighting
6) Alpha issues in FSX with net and parrot cage
7) thumbnails for FSX
8) ATC-ID Fltsim.3 incorrect: fixed
9) Nose down attitude at/above cruise speeds
10) FSX-Clickability issues
11) Add FSX updates folder
12) Tank selectors = 3
13) Correct prop idle issue: done Chg min throttle to .1
14) Correct lighting locations: done

Magoo has corrected items #3 and #4 and will focus on #9 tonight. The FM improvements are mainly all his work. Thank you Sir

The Avia 57 model has had a great shift in it's center of gravity and sundry other heavy items. Braking should be relatively normal in a mid thirties kinda way.

One point...this is a tail dragger with a very tall main gear and not so long a fuselage. It's way up there, even on the ground. When breaking hard, the pilot is advised to pull the yoke back with some emotionality to ensure the tail-down attitude is maintained and passengers maintain a commercially viable sense of boredom.

Ask any South American dirt strip Dakota driver.

One last point. The Bush thing.

Nigel....are you responsible...? I wonder if we could hack-up a gauge that would play the sound of empty beer cans clattering across the floor everytime the aircraft banked....?

Oh yes i was flying and remembered Mr. Lyons Goose it would be so cool to have oinking pigs and clucking chickens at back of bush version.

Hi,
In a Flight demo I saw on YouTube you could fly with chickens and if you did a loop they really squawked LOL! The sheep is standing in for a chicken.

One thing I noticed in the Bush version was that the bitmap(?) for the electrical switch panel shows up with missing pieces/holes, which doesn't happen in the other panel.

Another FM update: fixes idle issue, fuel tank selectors, lighting locations, improves CHT and Oil Temp variability (needs tweaking by RW radial pilot who understands normals, swing rates, maximums), etc.

NOTE: The cargo version is intended to be a little more modern, albeit worn, and therefore will carry later lights like the beacon. Not a big deal but a difference.

Of course they'd have to be the heavier tin can... aluminum cans not yet being invented and aircraft manufacturers not knowing what they were missing.

Someone mentioned issues with the Cargo electrical panel. Screenshots would be helpful as I am not seeing holes in either one.

Here is what I see.

Anyone else seeing an issue there?

Okay...so I'm...irresposible!

These ideas are all perfectly feasible and easily incorporated for the 'Bush Cargo' model.

With Milton's kind permission (the package size of this project is already tipping the scales), I'll supply a set of suitable ear candy as requested.

BTW, almost forgot to remind you all gentlemen: before closing the office at the day's end, PLEASE,

Don't forget to feed Kitty!!!

Hi,

@ Milton, I can't find the problem now with the pop up electrical panel, but Nigel has fixed it anyway:isadizzy::isadizzy:! I think we're thinking of different parts of the panel .

When it was dragged across a light background you could see through parts of it, but it seemed to have cleared up, unlike me, who's just befuddled .

I'll get me coat.

Andy.

Befuddled?

Nahh, you're doing a great job!
Just enjoying what you're doing.

Save the befuddled label for me - I've got me coat on all the time...

jist incase! :isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy:

Nonono...the befuddle is a type necktie I wear around my head when hacking flightsim files.

LOL Do you have a picture of that???

Whatever it takes, it seems to be working just fine; keep doing it!

I was wondering where my co-pilot went.

 

[Milton Shupe]

Someone (Moses03) asked about VC Rain ... added to one model successfully, now the others.

Lol!
Yeah, she's a good rat-catcher, bless her whiskers

Wow! Great idea!

Even more awesome points!

 

[Milton Shupe]

I have the VC Rain added to all the models now and the right wing lights now green.

Bedtime for me. Nigel, did you ever go to bed?

 

[Matt Wynn]

Bedtime for me. Nigel, did you ever go to bed?

if he didn't he seems to be following my lead!.... Go Nigel! wait, following my lead isn't a good idea is it?.... on the good news front i gave up waiting for my new desk, so instead have hooked up my graphics tab and bits into my laptop... i'm back!
