Iris Battlefield airlifter. (C-27 Spartan)

Very cool, now I'm having a senior moment, I don't remember where I bought it. It's not the first time I'll have to check them all until I find it. :banghead:

At The Flightsim store I'm not seeing a free download for the FsX Battlefield Airlifter, only my original order for the C-27?

Same issue here Roger. It appears the new version is now for sale at the Flightsim Store however my account only shows a download link for the original. I've emailed them to see when/if they're planning to upgrade accounts of existing customers.
 
For those of you who've purchased the C-27 from FSS, the file name will be the same as the original, though the installer should be newer. Have you tried downloading the installer to check?
 
I got mine from FS PilotShop. It shows the file was updated back on 14 June 2014, so I dont think they've got the newest version yet.

The name has changed (Iris_Airforce_tact_fsx.exe) , and so has the file size! Downloading now! :encouragement:
 
Awesome... The installer will say Battlefield Airlifter V1.1 when you run it anyway. If it doesn't, then well.. it's old. If it's not updated, please let me know and I'll chase it up with Adrian.
 
Quick question for David regarding the VC on the model, I see that some of the different pedestal display units are black indicating they are either not on or the gauge/placeholder texture are not in place. Searching through the manual, I did not see any reference on this or if there is an option but noticed some of the buttons on the center & right FMS are clickable but with no function. Is there a way to enable these displays or at least get the placeholder appearance of the original version?

Looks like the updated model is at the Flightsim Store, same name for the downlink but the file is different than it was a few hours ago!! I believe iris_airforce_tact_fsx.exe is correct? Will know upon installing no doubt.

Quick check before bedtime, and it is indeed updated at the Flightsim Store! :encouragement:
 
I didn't know there was a specific licence for P3D. :/
I have installed the newest version in my P3D v2.3 (I don't use FSX anymore).
The plane works quite well but I found a small issue: during the approach for landing, I had some error popups (the sim didn't crash) about some missing sounds files with a name containing "PC-9".
From what I understand, the C-27 or one of its gauges is trying to use a sound from the PC-9, which is not installed in my P3D.

From what was written here a bit earlier, I understand I can buy the P3D version of the C-27 with an interesting discount, because I had already bought the FSX version. But will this issue dissappear if I buy the real P3D version ?

Same issue on my side.
Also, in the original version, there was a 3D copilot, right ? How can we activate it again with the newest version ? (or is it again a problem because I don't have the P3D version ? )
 
At last I can fly the Spartan!

A couple of other things ive notice

There appears to be a model missing, there is no AWAC model as shown in the screenshots and the GPS gauge fills the screen and the model randomly bounces in sets of 3 occasionally while sitting idle

the FMC is difficult to read while in the chair, maybe a pop up window or new view

no options menu like the previous version?

Matt, the AWAC and Gunship models are available within subsets of the FMS menu as are many other options. I agree, the GPS gauge needs to be sized down a bit.

cheers found it, just trying to read the text without having to zoom all the way in is proving to be lesser than enjoyable, it needs a popup or new view
