...I could finally solve the fuel problem of the Do328 Turboprop. Now both tanks are used in the same way. no more fuel imbalance.

I also managed to get reasonable OIL PSI (55-65PSI, white numbers) and OIL C (...-115C) values. The N2 is now below 100% at all phases of flight. Anyone interested?

 

btw the given numbers for Max Speeds are wrong: Max. Speed for Gear ops and F12 is 200KIAS / Max Speed F20 = 180KIAS and Max Speed F32 is 160KIAS.

some smart guys are trying to sell freewares now.... :lol:

Well, not me. I'll give my modifications for free of course.

 

EDIT: ...argh, the plane is still shaking and twirling like crazy sometimes when it's loaded... it's really not worth a buy. I'm wasting my time fixing all this things. I'm waiting for Virtualcol to fix it. Could be a long wait.. I know....

Hmm so what did you modify to get rid of the fuel problem?

..the xml-code of the fuel system is totally wrong. Look at ovh_xfeed_set1.xml in the .cab file of the gauges folder... FUEL_SELECTOR commands tell FSX where the first engine takes the fuel from, FUEL_SELECTOR_2 commands tell FSX where the second engine takes the fuel from:

 

extract the cab file to a folder with the same name (within the gauges folder). delete the cab file. edit within the extracted folder the ovh_xfeed_set1.xml

 

edit the first part:

 

<Gauge Name="OVH_btn" Version="1.0">
<Size X="80" Y="76"/>

<Element>
    <Select>
        <Value>
        
                (L:FUEL_XFEED_SEL1, bool) 0 ==  if{
            
                (> K:FUEL_SELECTOR_OFF)
                                
                }
            
                (L:FUEL_XFEED_SEL1, bool) 1 ==  if{
            
                (> K:FUEL_SELECTOR_ALL)
                
                }
        
            
        </Value>
    </Select>
</Element>

then ....set2.xml:

<Gauge Name="OVH_btn" Version="1.0">
<Size X="80" Y="76"/>

<Element>
    <Select>
        <Value>
        
                (L:FUEL_XFEED_SEL2, bool) 0 ==  if{
            
                (> K:FUEL_SELECTOR_2_OFF)
                                
                }

                (L:FUEL_XFEED_SEL2, bool) 1 ==  if{
            
                (> K:FUEL_SELECTOR_2_ALL)
                
                }
        
            
        </Value>
    </Select>
</Element>

 

then edit the panel.cfg

I´ve purchased and BAD textures (and no have paintkit for enhancement), bad cockpit with JET INSTRUMENTS on PROPPLANE... :( 15 USD heading to waste

DORNIER 328-110 X and DORNIER 328JET X

New version exclusive for use with FLIGHT SIMULATOR X and compatible with PREPAR3D, FULL DIRECTX 10 compatible!

 

$12 Each or Both for $18

I bought this plane from fspilotshop ,  could you tell me pls how do I switch on the power back in the cockpit , before taking off , i am running out of power when i am doing the settings for take off 

Try and use a hotkey to switch on the generators.

many thanks but could you tell me which is the hotkey , sorry i am still a novice but i love fsx !

I think he is suggesting that you go into your controls panel in FSX and assign a "HOTKEY" to switch on the generators. So look in your keyboard control assignments and select a keyboard key to press to switch them on. Hope this makes sense

Many thanks , know I've got it , thanks too you ! 

With as many people trying to get this working and the Avsim poll results showing how popular regional aircraft are I wish one of the more proven payware developers would take notice and develop a high quality Do328.  I actually asked in the Majestic Forum if they would consider it since they have a brilliant turboprop in their Dash and had made mention they were considering a jet but their resources were committed elsewhere. 

 

I had considered buying the Virtualcol Do328 and then retrofitting it with Ernie Alston's IGS instruments but by the time you add up the cost of all that I couldn't justify the cost knowing I'd probably still end up disappointed.
