Fellow Gooney flyers,This refers to the file DC3_4TK.ZIP, uploaded yesterday, which is a conversion kit to enable four-tank operation of the default DC-3 rather than the three-tank set-up that it ships with.I predicted to my pal Dave that no matter how hard we checked our upload I would spot something we'd forgotten the minute I had uploaded it, and sure enough I did. It's a minor point, perhaps, but I forgot in the README to advise that the Fuel Gauge Selector in the VC should also be changed to the new gauge supplied with the download. In the default panel, this would mean changing, under the VCockpit01 section in the PANEL.CFG:gauge28=Douglas_DC3!fuel_gauge_selector, 340, 311, 82, 82to:gauge28=DC3_fuel_4tank!fuel_gauge_selector, 340, 311, 82, 82Personally, I am no fan of trying to actually change settings in VC - that's for the jet jockeys who live on autopilot in my view, as whenever I try to do anything in VC I end up upside down. However, this amendment makes your four-tank aircraft's VC look prettier and more correct, of course. I have already graphically amended the fuel gauge selector dials, although I don't recommend using those either in VC mode for reasons explained in the README.Comes from having the brain of a demented newt, I fear. Sod's Law Of The Upload, in any case. I shan't be posting any fix for this as it's such a tiny point, but will of course incorporate it in any future improvement of our work on the venerable DC-3.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

<<<>>>>I meant to write ENGINE FUEL TANK SELECTOR DIALS, sorry. I guess even newts will be offended now.As if you care. 12 views of this post to date rather indicates that there ain't too many DC-3 fans in this forum. Either that, or they take so long to get anywhere that you're still up there and haven't seen my post yet, LOL.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

Mark - Just in case you think nobody cares, here's at least one simmer who much appreciates all your stuff - this latest fuel selector guage is going to be very useful on my next long haul DC3 flight - maybe the "Over the Hump" route from India into China and beyond.But just now I'm having too much fun in Washington State and FSE....Brian

Thanks, Brian. If you're not familiar with the world's finest VA, have a look at www.dc3airways.com. There are some very interesting routes there that are, not unsurprisingly, configured for the DC-3!Glad you're enjoying the mod, anyway. Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg
