New Carenado 152 released for FSX

this is an important point - the fuel selector in the C152 and a few other Carenado planes is by default set to drain the left wing tank...it is usefull to move the selector to 'both' soon after takeoff - or drain part of the right tank first...
 
i will definitely try that, but the trouble i am having happens as soon as i'm in the air.

YQTFUN, yes, i mean rudder trim. for what ever reason, i can fly the piper all day long and it doesn't do this. the carenado seems to be the only one i have that does
 
Mostly to Brian - but everyone else, too. It took a little longer for Carenado to get back to me about the nav/com power switch. He sent me a new aircraft.cfg that has the nav/com on all the time - the switch still doesn't work, but at least the radio is functional. Who knows, maybe the real aircraft they used as a model had this problem. After all, it is pushing 40 years old. :costumes: If it still has the original radio, maybe that explains a couple things. But, touching the SQ and VOL knobs, moves the power switch, still no power change - the radio stays on. He asked me to try it and report results. I have done that.

mmmm.....hey Glenn, the gauge file they sent me works fine, and I don't believe it had any effect on the SQ/VOL. knobs, so I'm not sure why they did not send you that file revision. I'm pretty sure I simply turn it on only via the master now, and no other switches need to be used, nor keyboard commands, but I have not flown it (or anything else) since last weekend, but this weekend is coming :icon_lol:. I still have your email addy....so.....

;)
 
Brian,

I'm on the look-out. Many, Many thanks. That little bird is very much fun to fly and brings back some good memories. I haven't tried yet, I thought I'd wait till it all settles down, but I may have to put a GNS430 in it. I don't know which one yet.

I noticed a similar tendency in the Stationair, and to a lesser extent in the 182, but both were managed with rudder trim, that being said, I did not look further into it, and maybe I should have.

Damn fine airplanes though :)

I noticed this tendency with the 182 also. I did not care for it and found that the engine location was slightly offset from the centreline. An adjustment in the Aircraft.cfg file seemed to alleviate the tendency:

engine.0 = 2.74, 0.00, 0, //was 2.74, -0.05, 0,

Perhaps a similar tweak would help with the 152 although this was likely intended to be offset for realism?

Brian, Got it, but I think I'm a bit bumfuzzled :isadizzy:(that's the technical term) - it does exactly the same thing the aircraft.cfg Carenado sent me does. I think I'll try a reboot and see if it makes any difference.

Many thanks,

Glenn
 
Sorry to ask again, but does anyone know whether either Aerosoft or Just Flight intend to offer a boxed version?
 
I hate to go grave digging, but is it possible for someone to email me a copy of the updated config for the 152? I get overstress errors when spawning, and my plane by default has no fuel in it. I have had to enable unlimited fuel and turn off crash detection just to be able to fly the thing. I emailed Carenado three days ago, but have yet to get a response.

dhl1986@gmail.com is my email. Much appreciated!
 
That sounds like a saved flight issue, rather than an aircraft issue (well, it definitely isn't an aircraft issue to start with no fuel!)

How are you starting FSX and loading the aircraft?
