Thunderstreak is marvellous! Really a hidden gem. One bug though, gear lever function is opposite. Lever down, gears up. Seems to be present also in older versions.

I don´t mind the start up, actually it should be basic feature. Its just irritating how the "big names" have neglected it (Majestic, PMDG, Razbam...)

I find the F-104G VC quite outdated compared to wonderful F-84. Kills the immersion a bit. Otherwise it also flies nicely.
 
Same problem with the gear (I use Saitek panel), but maybe I must do something before gear up. I didnt read manual yet. Just quick flights :).
It is "too" stupid for bug only (from 2013....) I think. Perhaps whole check list and will be ok.
 
Pluto, how long does it take to get activated? I sent the automatic activation last night and had hoped it might be in my inbox by the time I got home. Looking forward to flying this around the great Barrier Reef and the PNW.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt..
due our anti piracy policy, the activation keys are "Human-generated" :) there is a person who generates the keys....it means that can happen to wait a little more to get the keys during the week-end. During the week, normally, the keys are generated in few hours, not the same in the week end because can happen that we are busy with our families and we are not at Home. Sometimes it depends also by the local time of the request because we are in GMT+1 zone ;)
I am quite sure that the keys will arrive today in few hours.....let me Know ;)
Regards
Emanuele

Emanuele,

Sorry, I forgot 1/2 of the world is behind us, time wise. Enjoy your weekend. I will look for it in the next 48 hours. Thanks for the reply.

What's the issue you guys are seeing with the gear lever? AFAIK mine is fine. Handle up - gear up. Handle down - gear down. As labeled. I control my gear through a Saitek X-55 using the Toggle Gear keyboard command on a momentary toggle switch on the throttle side of the HOTAS.

I did 'break' the gear once by accidentally deploying it at high speed - then they sort of hung half open with the handle up.. but I don;t imagine that's what you're all seeing.

Can you explain what happen with landing gear lever ?

Take a look here ( sorry for low quality vid )

 
Hi...
it is really strange because the landing gear lever has the right behaviour....up for gear up....and down for gear down. Animation are "model related" so it is possible that it is some external software that modified the behaviour.....
About emergency procedure, as reported in the manual : lever down, and then put it down again to the emergency position (right click on it)...if you cannot get the three green assume a g-negative fly or shacking left to right...( if you cannot get the three green yet...cycle the handle up to down)...


About the "ground shaking", we cannot replicate the behaviour ( and we have differents rigs with differents installation and models)...we had experienced issues due to the accu-feel (but with the Harrier)...so if you have it, try to shut off the program and see what happens.

For sure. See this. Check it in HD version.

1/ Problem of vibrations in VC on the ground when Parking brake is ON (real weather) only, Zsolt, William Njurmi ect. noticed too same.
Btw. I have Accu feel but for this test is "off" for F-84F:


0:23 parking barke off = its ok now
0:30 on again = vibrations

Addons (Dlls): TacPack, Active Sky, Contrails pro, Accu Feel (off for F-84F), FSUiPC, F14.
 
2/ Landing gear handle problem (I dont talk about emergency procedures but normal opertions):




Hope it helps.
