Milviz Otter released

gregmorin: The throttle works with my Saitek X-55, but the lever in vc don't move, mix and propeller levers moving but throttle not. Is the only plane in my hangar with this problem, all others are working well (multi engine, single engine).

No problems with throttles for me ... ran a 6 hr 16 min flight across NZ from NZWR to NZQW ... it was close on fuel and leaned out at FL140.

Has support for F1 and RXP and weather radar, but I don’t think REX/MV have that converted for P3D V4.x yet.

The entire flight wasn’t attended, but checked in every hour or so.  Mostly cloud layer from departure to about 100nm point from NZQW when it cleared up for a dusk arrival.

It is a SLOW aircraft :)

I'm a bit confused by the gear lever and watter rudder lever are modeled in the cockpit when in the straight wheels configuration. I'm assuming this would not be the case in the real thing.

Eduardo, are you using FSUIPC?

With the Otter, what I am seeing is, the throttle lever on my HOTAS must be mapped to "THROTTLE" axis, not "THROTTLE1" axis for the VC lever to work. Same with pitch lever, "PROPPITCH" not "PROPITCH1".

Hope this helps.

Henry Street: Yes, I use FSUIPC and with my actual configuration ALL my planes, including milviz Beaver had a moveable thrust lever.

Thanks a lot gregmorin and Henry Street for your help. Solved creating a profile in FSUIPC. Thanks again.

So I got this version of the Otter. Took me a bit to get her started and flying. Flew around some, I like the sounds, the feel, this is a good plane, love how perfectly the throttle, pitch and mixture levers are modeled.....then mid fight I switched to the JustFlight version...I also like the sounds, the feel...the VC is different but nicely modeled...these are two great planes.

I admit I'm an Otter lover, spend plenty of time in them up and down the central west coast of British Columbia.

You're not helping! LOL...

FYI Eduardo, you'll run into the same issue with A2A's GA singles and FSUIPC.  They're the only planes I have that behave this way, but with FSUIPC profiles, it's an easy problem to solve.

Haha, I thought I was the only pilot flying in Beni Mellal :-)

Cool! Maroc is a great place to fly. All kinds of interesting terrain.

HI Rob, 

The weather radar has just been released for P3Dv.4.

Cheers!

Excellent!!  Thank Sir.  I'll get installing, just in time for winter weather. :)
