Thats very interesting Mike,

Hmmm, I hope wozza hasnt put a custom Carb freeze-up XML in or I'll be in trouble at altitude :pop4:

Altitude is usually not a cause of carb ice, as there is less humidity. As Wikipedia puts it, "A warm day with high humidity is considered the most likely scenario for carburetor icing. Since there is less air acceleration through the carburetor at full-throttle operation, icing is usually not a problem then." I would guess that CAC calculated that the flow rates through the carburator wouldn't warrant a carb heat unit, although I would have thought that a "warm day with high humidity" pretty much summed up the operating environment of the Boomerang!

Just to let everyone know, an update to the Boomerang has been released, and if you are an existing customer you should have received an email with a download link. If you do not receive the email, let me know at the support email and I will make sure you receive it.

The update adds the gauge FlightReplicas_XMLSound.gau to the gauges folder. It appears to have been left out, which is why some of you have not been hearing the guns and switch clicks, etc..

Sorry about that!

If you HAVE been hearing the guns, you do NOT need this update.

(Updated installers have also been uploaded to the store and to the vendors.)

I can confirm what Huub said: Running perfectly in fsx sp2 with the "mods" suggested here. Even managed to blow my engine twice now .... :salute::salute:

 
Thanks for the update, Mike.

I was just a bit suprised that for a single guage, we had to DL the whole aircraft again. I do not see or hear the guns (not sure about switches), but have decided that another 2 hour download is a bit OTT for something that I will probably never miss.

Thanks for the effort though, it's a really lovely little aircraft.:salute:

Calypsos, email me at the support address, and I'll send you just the missing gauge. :)

If anyone else would prefer to go this route, just le me know (at the support address). The complete installer is usually sent as it saves users from having to do manual installations of files, which can be problematic for some, but for those with slow downloads speeds the individual gauge can easily be sent.

Instructions on how to use the Boomerang with FSX and SP2 alone have now been placed on the website: http://www.flight-replicas.com/Boomerang_SP2_users.htm

If anyone finds something there that needs changing or updating, please let me know. And many thanks to Wozza, Huub Vink and Flaviossa for coming up with, and confirming, the modification! :)

Mike, I should thank for you confidence ;) I made one additional change to the pots.xml file. In the original file the timing is set on 10, I have changed this to 90. Which gives a more realistic time needed to blow up your engine in my opinion:d

And the location of the pots.xml file is in the FR_CA-12 sub folder inside gauges folder from the FSX root folder.

Cheers,
Huub

Just a quick word on the great customer service offered here on the Boomerang, Mike sent me an e-mail attachment new sound gauge, and I now have have both clicks and guns! Thanks Mike!
 
What a well done aircraft the Boomerang :salute:

Thank you very much Mike for another Great Aircraft by Flight Replica's

I look forward to your next release
 
I never have been keen having to do mods after a product was released. Is there a chance to get an updated installer.
...Nah, never mind. I guess I don't need guns and sound if they don't already work.

Hi Don,

You were sent an updated installer on October 11. I've just sent you the link again, as I guess it didn't arrive the first time. If you don't receive anything, please let me know, at the support email address.

Mike
 
Hi Mike

That's odd. I never got the first you mention sending. I just checked the mail and and the package from you arrived.

Thank you
 
Finally got round to buying this aircraft, and I love it! Excellent 'FR' quality as usual.

Great choice for a warbird too, and a fun aircraft to fly. :applause:
