Milviz B55 might be available really soon

[Milviz 919]

Here's the Paint Kit (should that be caps?)...

Note that you will NEED photoshop or gimp to use these... and they are not simplistic.

 

Sorry!

One question I haven't seen in this thread- or on the MilViz forum- the instrument back lighting, I see where the control is (beneath the elevator trim), but I can't see much happen when I turn it (I'm unsure how many "clicks" take it from full on to full off). Any advice regarding this? It may be just me doing something wrong :)

 

Thanks, Bruce.

It's not overly bright but functional, is it dark enough to be needed?

 

Watch the GPS and radios when you flick it.

 

I use a joystick switch so I can't advise on the position though..

Bruce, that knob does not respond (at this time!) to "clicks" at all. Grab the knob with a left-click and DRAG your mouse to the right to increase brightness, or left to decrease brightness...

Thanks, appreciate the help.

Indeed - during daylight hours you can barely tell it's on, but after dark it actually lights things up quite nicely, other than a couple of needles as has been previously mentioned.

Actually, we tested for the needles and they all seem to work fine... not sure whats going in yours...

PaintKit question.

I tried to open the first two files in this folder but got a "not a Photoshop" document.

 

I later noticed leading "." in filename.

That's the MacOS X 'preview/thumbnail' meta directory, you want to go back to the root of the paintkit and go into the regular 'B55 PaintKit'.

 

You can delete the _MACOSX folder, it's useless to windows users.

Interesting. I'll grab a screenshot later today and get it up on the B55 support forum. Guess that means I'll have to get registered there as well! :-)

After the Service Pack is released will the newly purchased B55 already have all it fixes and updates installed automatically?

[Milviz 919]

Yes. We will propagate all the fixes to all portals and to all clients whose emails we have access to

Any estimate of when the service pack will be out?
