Milviz F-86 Sabre SP1 - Released

Well...I have watched the video and followed it to a tee....but I get no joy on the flap handle movement.....actually I can't click and drag anything including the throttle or brakes handles. I have assigned a key for the flaps but they are VERY slow and the flap handle does not move.


Heading to work....hope this is something that can be fixed quick.

Sorry, but it sounds like user error. You can head on over to our support forums and see if any devs/coders have an answer for you.

Also, I'll say it again; the flaps lower/retract slowly. around 4-6 seconds. They aren't fast.

Thank you....this is exactly what I have too.


also....is there supposed to be two flap entries in the aircraft.cfg file?


[flaps.0]
type= 1
span-outboard= 0.5
extending-time= 99
system_type= 0
damaging-speed= 215
blowout-speed= 250
lift_scalar= 1
drag_scalar= 1
pitch_scalar= 1
flaps-position.0= 0
flaps-position.1= 38


[flaps.1]
type= 2
span-outboard= 1
extending-time= 99
system_type= 1
damaging-speed= 9999
blowout-speed= 9999
lift_scalar= 0
drag_scalar= 0.22
pitch_scalar= 0
flaps-position.0= 0
flaps-position.1= 50

Is that correct also?

The answer to the above question was "Yes sir". I am asuming the "executable" being mentioned above refers to the installer executable. My SP1 installer download (today) from FS Pilot Shop was : MilViz_F86_vR1.122610.exe (Also, the installer zip file had the same filename and byte count as the original did - which seems suspicious). Finally, there is a date in the text at the top of my resulting aircraft.cfg file of "10/17/2012".

EDIT: Milviz tells me I have not yet received SP1. I guess I need to wait a while until FSPilotShop posts the update.

Can anyone comment on its validity for SP1?
 
Both entries and the extension times are correct. Using the flaps extend key (2 times) or using the mouse to move the handle (the flap handle does move when using the key and the mouse) makes the flaps extend withing approx 6sec
 
Question for those having flap problems:

1. Are you using accufeel?
2. Are you using a panel or some hardware device
3. Have you mapped the flap to something other than what it normally is

Regards, Diego
 
I think I know what the problem might be on the flap actuation. I noticed in the video that the flap lever is near the up position but perhaps not full up. Users who are using a mouse to move the flap lever, move it to the Full Down position until the flaps are at the desired Intermediate position and then move the lever to the center to stop the flap movement. If you map the flap up and down commands to buttons on a HOTAS or similar stick setup, you will need to click the button assigned to Flaps Down until the lever is in the Full Down position(usually two clicks) then when the flaps are at the desired intermediate position, click the Flaps Up assigned button once to stop the flaps movement((which the flap lever should stop in the center position). To raise the flaps in the same manner, just reverse those steps. On the real F-86, there are no preset flap positions on the lever/control console but the flap lever can be locked/stopped at intermediate positions. That's the reason we set it up this way.
 
I have reinstalled it from the start, and it´s working now. I deleted the old version and extracted the installer again from the flight1 wrapper, this time FSX asked me to allow .ddl´s to run.

Sorry for inconviniences.
 
Looks like the installer wasn't overwriting the old DLL's (which are found in the Gauges folder).

Delete these, and reinstall.

Yes, I've encountered mixing up of code/components which can cause issues. I'd also suggest cleaning out all the simobjects as well just to be safe. Since there isn't an auto uninstaller, the items need to be removed manually(the 5 gauges and simobjects--Aircraft and Misc objects). I wouldn't worry so much with the effects and sound.
 
Hello Diego,
I´m going to do the sp1 install now. What gauges and misc objects to delete to make flaps work ok?

To give you the best idea of what files to delete, point the installer to your desktop. That will give you an absolute list of files to delete.

The important files are 4 milviz dll's in the gauge folder.

Also, delete your Milviz F-86 from simobjects/airplanes, along with the 3 misc payload items in misc.
