JF Canberra PR9 is out

A lot of people seem to have problems because of the way they run FSX/P3D.

You certainly can't run in 'compatibility' mode, and it seems that 'run as administrator' has an effect, too.

Before purchasing I thought I should take a look at the demo. Right after choosing the Canberra and agreeing to load the gauges, I get the "FSX has stopped working" message. According to the event log it has something to do with the g2d.dll. No idea, I never had such a problem before. A few guys in the Justflight forum are having the same problem but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

The Canberra is not the usual type of aircraft I'm interested in but I like well-simulated addons - especially at that price. So it's sad that it doesn't work on my end. But once again I appreciate the fact that JustFlight offers demo versions of their addons! :applause:

THANK YOU SIR. :very_drunk:

I havent tested it but the engine start issue is the most significant i suppose. Downloading it now (442.329mb). Im happy it is being periodically updated. Whats the chance of making Buccaneers or Nimrod? Just saying :jump:
 
Ok I just tested the start sequence.

Apparently, I need to always load a default aircraft first prior to using the PR9; fire it up and change to PR9 and do the manual or instant start up. It wont work without the default aircraft trick, no matter what I did, including pressing the lightning icon, she just wont start on my end. ;)
 
That's a pretty standard thing to do anyway if you want to avoid problems. I always start this way;)

I simply cannot get this plane started. Is there a quick start-up procedure I'm missing? I thought that was the lightning box icon on the panel selector box?
 
To actually start the engines is easy. Assuming you've got as far as having pwr connected.. you basically open the fuel panel and make sure every switch is up (on) then open the start panel. For the left engine.. make sure the upper left 'electric start' is selected then switch up the master and ignition switches for engine 1 then hit the start button. Have a cursory glance over to make sure the throttles aren't in the fuel cutoff position and the engine will start. Do the same for engine 2.

If you're starting with every switch in the cockpit turned to off.. then a little more reading is required:biggrin-new:

EDIT: Nearly forgot.. there's a Take Off panel too. Make sure all those switches are up though if you're not getting the engines started.. the Take Off panel is irrelevant.

I do love this Canberra , the cockpit textures are so well done, I the biggest thing is getting the feel for a 1950's style cockpit , I know the 'JF Dev in house team' is very busy at mo, but to have the Vulcan (yip I know as you all would - I have the 'Vulcan to the Sky' and the Iris package) but to be done with this attention to detail .... and for some reason it has that real feel about it !
 
I hear what you say Ian but the Canberra already pushes my rig to places thus far the reserve of MilViz (with the exception of the Tonka which went well beyond):biggrin-new: Can you honestly imagine how a Vulcan would run engineered by the same team to the same detail??? There'd be more than one XH558 grounded!!

Anywho.. the Iris Vulcan is still a darned good model and the flightdeck holds up well. If they're gonna make something.. P L E A S E let it be different:encouragement:

Orr.. a Jagular:encouragement:

Back on topic.. I'm not sure what's happening with the engine start on the SP3 version. The first time I tried, they wouldn't light (though that turned out to be finger trouble on my part). The second time.. both engines lit when starter No.1 was hit. After that.. the engines remained lit (when loading from the default Cessna) until I tried again last night when they were cold. Under normal circumstances.. I'd select the 'keep current state' option but I've not selected anything.. just direct nose control in the cfg with all else left at default.
It doesn't bother me much as I know they'll start from cold but I can't quite fathom why sometimes, they remain lit (after chopping from the startup/default Cessna) and others.. they're cold.
