• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

For a first effort, it's pretty good! There is lots of potential here.

A few observations using FSX/Accel boxed edition.

Frame rates and overall computer performance are excellent.

Issues:
Propeller rotation is backwards.
Generator gauges are blurred out and non-functional.
Cowl flaps indicator gauge is not working.
Left engine is linked to right engine gauges, right engine is linked to the left engine gauges.
Strobe light on belly is constantly "on", no way to turn it off.

I'm also getting a crash to desktop with the generic "Failed to read from file" message during takeoff. I'm not sure what's going on with that.

By the way, strobe lights did not come into aviation use until the late 1970's. Red rotating or flashing beacons were introduced in the 1950's.

Thanks stansdds! :)

The cowl and generator gauges are fixed bmps - I haven't gotten as far as coding for such things yet. That might come in a later update in the future though.
The engines ( and props ) are a real anomaly but we have a fix for it, should be sorted soon. I'll also remove the strobe - oddly I don't remember including one when modelling the airplane but will check it out.

I'm not sure about the crash to desktop however, and I haven't encountered one before with the Reporter. If anyone else gets it, please do report it on the new Reporter RELEASED thread here on the discussion board.
