Wing42's Boeing 247D released

I just hope folks running into these issues are reporting them directly to Wing42 and not just posting about them. :)

I couldn't restart my 247D after a crash but didn't have time to troubleshoot the problem, so I appreciate the heads-up on cycling stuff.

Ooh, is that one of the RCAF birds? Or the one they passed on to the Brits for autopilot research?

I tried to fly again last night and still can't get my engines to start, even with easy on. I'll learn the coldstart process at some point when I have time, but have only had short moments to sim this week and have been sticking to stuff I can start on the runway.

Thank you! Even if a fix is found here, it should be passed to the dev's in case they haven't seen the same thing. There was a time when SOH had an agreement with people like Ken Mitchel or Garry Smith to allow them a place to offer support, but there's nothing like that currently with any MSFS developer. If it's related to the sim itself, then the official forum is the place for actual support.

I have been a loyal Simmarket customer for decades, but I cannot abide these companies forcing us to switch to an APP for their sales. I like to have a file and a code in case the retailer goes under one day I guess the solution is buy direct from the creator and bypass the resale markups
 
Orbx may have markups, but their app installs with no DRM. Hit the install button, then rename the folder if you want, then zip a copy as a backup. That's what I do with every purchase from them. Plus, it makes getting updates easy, since they're all in one place.
 
I just tried it again in the Alps, from Innsbruck via Bolzano towards Lugano. Lost one engine before reaching Bolzano, temperatures started dropping once I finished the climb over the nearest peaks. I noticed the oil pressure dropping before the engines seized, but nothing I did lead to increasing the pressure again.
Before the flight I contacted the developer with my recent experience, maybe I'll get a reply. Could also be that I am missing something though.
 
hmmmm, been waiting for an "Accusim B377" type plane.

Must purchase and start doing time trials on routes to push the engines hard in different environments. This could be a good plane for racing! :very_drunk:
 
Just installed and did a full realism flight from Portland to Richman.

WOW, just WOW. Best $20 spent in a long time. WOW!!!! Just before buying this I got the Kodiak 100. Nothing against the Kodiak, it is a great plane but just did a couple flights in it but it just felt like the same boring flights I end up doing all the time in MSFS. This B247D is ALIVE and you actually FLY IT!!! The bar has been raised, don't see myself buying anything that doesn't have deep system modeling from now on. Looking forward to some 30's - 50's aircraft to abuse. Tapping on gauges and stuff.... nice touch!

Heading to their website to see what else they have in store for MSFS. :applause:
