What you are seeing is the VC OH popup which is slightly different. Use Shift+5 to hide it.Some folks wanted a popup for the VC to have access to the switches without going back to the 2D panel. We provided that at the last minute. Unfortunately we overlooked the Nav light issue.Scott is working on a fix.

Thanks again Milton and crew for a great update to a great plane (series)! :)

Hi Milton!Thank's again for this again wonderful aircraft.There is only one other question I want to ask you with all politeness: is there any time schedule when I can expect my beloved Dash-7?Don't feel pushed, if this question is nerving you simply forget it :-)Greetings from BerlinMick!

The Dash 7 should be ready in about 4 weeks. Awaiting textures, some minor tweaks to do, and then the beta.

Wonderful News !!!:-jumpy The Dash 7 has always been one of my favorite planes; I can't wait to take her up.Thanks, Milton, for everything.:-beerchug Bob

>The Dash 7 should be ready in about 4 weeks. Awaiting>textures, some minor tweaks to do, and then the beta.Hi Milton!That will be like christmas and easter in one day!!!!!!!!Can not wait to enter her cockpit...Mick!

>Fantastic job, guys. A great rework of an old classic>warhorse, now with a sweet re-done (and very clear) VC!>>Lewis "Moose" Gregory>Richmond, VirginiaMy sentiments as well. A large "THANK YOU" to you and the team for another great aircraft! Jack Decker

Incredible job Milton and crew!

Hi,As usual there has to be at least one of us, (me) that can't get the plane to install. The install instructions seem to be quite straight forward and simple to follow but the plane doesn't show up in FS. Any ideas?Jim

Here is the link to update the panel overhead and NAV switch (2 files), and changes the aircraft.cfg lights section to comment out the strobe lights that interfere with proper operation of the blinking/steady nav lights. Strobes were not available in these aircraft.http://www.flightsimonline.com/downloads/ac520_panupdt.zipIf you use and notice rudder trim, this corrects the trimtab turning on the wrong axis:http://www.flightsimonlilne.com/downloads/ac520mdlrud.zip

Any ideas?>>Jim Jim,In the unzipped folder, look inside the aircraft folder to find the ac520v3 folder. Copy this ac520v3 folder to your FS9/Aircraft folder.Now, also in the unzipped folder, find the Effects folder and open it. Copy the one file found there to your FS9/Effects folder.That should do it for you.Hope this helps.

Just correcting a typo in Milton's last post:http://www.flightsimonline.com/downloads/ac520mdlrud.zip

Thank you Graeme :-)

I am looking so forward to landing that new Dash 7 at Courchevel ;)
