AH Cessna -140 Pilots disappearing!?

[seamaster55 75]

With Aeroplane Heaven's release of their p3d catalogue, thought I'd try the very nice C-140, but when you take off, the pilots disappear.

Tried taking off without clicking on the button to make them appear beforehand, thinking that when I click it when its airborne - they will appear then, but no, they just seem to want to show themselves when the wheels are touching the ground.

Anybody any ideas on how to solve this problem?🤔

I have the same problem. I contacted AH and was told: everything is in the manual. I have not found a solution.

I purchased that model the day it was released, and have had the AWOL pilots the entire time.  I love the plane, but it's hangered.  I've never found a solution - and yours is the first mention I've ever found that I wasn't alone with the problem! 🙂

Thanks for those interesting comments.😖

Puzzles me how they thought it was ok to put it on sale with that - such plain fault, the developers must have seen the pilots missing once it took off......maybe they didn't care?

Might be why it is free now over at Orbx Central .

Try this......works great in P3D4.5. Manual in Documentation in AC directory.

 

Setting up for a flight.
There are a couple of optional extras
that come with your Cessna 140. There’s a set
of chocks and tie-downs which are toggled
on and off using the knob (16). Pilots are
toggled on and off using the large central
piano key switch (24). If you are flying in
P3DV4.4 and up, you can configure your
undercarriage to have wheel spats. All you
need to do is click on the undercarriage strut
in the outside view

Only if you have lots of insurance . LOL

Just a pic to show I'm in the air and have pilots.

That said... I hacked into the model a bit to see what was going on and yeah there seems to be a code logic error in the vis code of the pilots as it all seems to be based around (A:SIM on GROUND, bool) so the minute you're airborne the pilots vanish,

Still not as bad as this plane, most of the interior view is missing, happens to be one of the Ctrl-Ezy ones, definately won't be installing any of those again.

Pity... it was interesting till I looked around the VC.

Thanks god they concentrate only on MSFS now.....😉

I downloaded 3 of their planes and only kept the C-140, and even this one has the pilots-bug.

Would you mind providing the patched model?

[Caribe 7]

Oh yes and please for the float version too.

[seamaster55 75]

The yellow floatplane will appear with the occupants on board, started off at one of the Seattle seaplane bases.

Tried selecting the landplane version of it while in flight, but p3d did a CTD.😔
