The Grizz is out!!

Gentlemen,
I have found an offending gauge that may be causing some Radio issues. Until we get this corrected, please comment out the following statement as shown with two slashes in the panel.cfg, vcockpit03 section, last gauge:
//gauge26=ST_X38!Arc-5_Radio, 434,10,562,219
This gauge was streaming com1, nav1 and nav2 events and likely interfering with radio adjustments.
I need to thank Doug Dawson for this awesome test gauge that helps you find streaming events in the sim. It also told me that I have a bad set of CH Pedals streaming the left brake event.
The name of Doug's test gauge is event_logger and I believe he uploaded it to Flightsim or Avsim two years ago. Streaming events cause key combinations to not work because the combination gets interrupted with another event. Combination keys are used to open the cargo door (shift+e, 2) or select engine 2 (e,2), etc.

:ernae: love the aircraft..!! the tires are AWESOME..!!! Manfred has done an outsatnding job there..!! i noticed with my download the right rear view was out of wack..i adjusted the following
item..view_rear_right_windows=32 , the second line to read 0.000, -0.100, 0.000..mine originally
ended in 0.-800..
now i have a question..if i may..while in for maintance..can a switch be added to the vc panel
to turn off the overhead/cabin light..?? as in the D18s..
thanks Milton and to all the team for this beauty..!!! i believe beech had a real winner here..!!

Yes please sir!
No doubt this magnificent beast would have been a natural air tanker.
Great textures on an fantastic airplane.
Thanks t.creed
It takes a lot of eyes on many details to see it all. :isadizzy: Yes, I will try to get that light switch on there.
The rational is the gauge lights at night ... this current setup provides night lighting.
We will have to discuss a back lighting if we do that. I appreciate your interest.
The more I fly the Grizz the more I love it 
Thanks again Milton & Team you've added another dimension to the freeware world.
I've noticed one minor thing ..... the airspeed indicator actually does one complete revolution before settling onto the correct speed.
Has anyone else noticed that ?
Pete.

Yes, it is an interesting phenomenon. We have a maintenance release WIP right now. Maybe we can get that gauge to behave more normally.
Thanks James, Pete, Underdog et al ... it's great to see the ole girl is well received.
If you have imagetool, it is a simple task.
Open your texture folder
Select View mode and select Details
Click on Size Heading twice to sort by Size Descending
Now you have textures listed, largest to smallest.
The key benefit to obtain is by reformatting the 4096KB textures to DXT3 to save 15MB. You can go deeper if you wish to do the 1024MB textures for a larger savings.
Open each in Imagetool (right click the file, Open With Imagetool)
Select Image at the top
Select Format
Select DXT3
Save and overwrite.
Do this for each texture folder and you are done.
You can use DXTbmp to convert them as well.
You might want to create a backup before you convert for fallback purposes if necessary.

Thanks for your reply Milton, I have neither the software or know-how with this issue, was hoping that some of our talented SOH repainters would graciously provide us lesser souls with some redemption ...

Well, if it is redemption you want, here I go...
much simpler... extract the zip somewhere, copy the two files into each texture folder you want converted, and whack at the .bat...
the original authors name has been lost in the shifting sands of time, so I do not know who to thank for the batch file...

Hey Milton.
I just wanted to say thanks for the great Grizzly. It's one awesome aircraft and a heck of a lot of fun to fly.

I just came across a cannon effects gauge for the Grizzly over at Flightsim.com . The file name is
( rcbsc-12.zip ) by Rob Barendreg . The visuals and sounds are very well done . The author has set it for up the RealAir Spitfire , so that it fires from the Spitfires wing .
But now if someone were so inclined and a lot smarter than this old codger would give it a shot at setting it up for the Grizzly .

Grizzly VC Frame Rates
I have all of Milton's planes and love them all. I have no problem with frame rates in the VC's of any aircraft (FS-9, 4 gig ram, Radion 1800 vd cd. AMD Dual Core). I can run with the sliders all the way up 30 to 40 FPS but for some unknown reason the VC in the Grzzly brings my computer to its knees, 5 to 8 FPS. When I pan up or away from the instruments it pops to life again. Just tried version 2 exactly the same. Any Ideas? Must be some mysterious glich. I got to fix this, got to have this great plane.
