March 21, 20224 yr The new Optica comes with a GNS530, or PMS50 GTN750, and now as a test: TDS GTN750. The Optica team have stated that they are looking at updates, so consider this a work in progress.. If you would like to try my TDS GTN750 mod, you can get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5mll8uxgplmkp9l/tds-gtnxi-gotfriends-optica v3.zip?dl=0 Edited March 21, 20224 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
March 22, 20224 yr Author Be aware that this mod will need to be updated when the authors fix the CDI flag coding... I corrected for it, but this will cause a problem if they make changes.. 😉 Edited March 22, 20224 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
March 23, 20224 yr Amazing plane for great sightseeing tours. Excellent nav equiment and pleasant flight modelling. Unfortunately I cannot use the new 1.0.1. Version - it does not work with the PMS GTN750 (Pro Version) plus GTN750 WTT extension (both - via addon manager linked - in the community folder). Using the new version I only see a default GTN in the cockpit. After having replaced the new version 1.0.1 by the old one 1.0.0. the PMS GTN 750 is visible and usable again. Is it only on my system? OK, the first version was allready bug free - it is good enough for me.

March 23, 20224 yr I wish they'd do something about the pitch response. It's almost impossible to trim level, and even when you think you've got it, next second..up...down...up. That and being unable to get rid of the companions' weight in the fuel & weight menu. Great model otherwise, and glad I got it. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org

Great model otherwise, and glad I got it. I got rid of the companions completely by editing them out of the flight-model.cfg. I'm never going to want to have them there so removed them completely.

And does that edit get rid of both the animals in the VC, and their weight in the weight menu ? Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org

Just change the 170 to a 0 in Station Load 2 - station_load.0 =170, 5, -1.55, -0.7, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PILOT, 1 station_load.1 =0, 5, 0.25, -0.7, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.COPILOT, 2 station_load.2 =0, 5, 1.55, -0.7, COMPANIONS, 5 station_load.3 =0, 3, 0, -0.7, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.BAGGAGE, 6 That gets rid of them permanently in the cockpit and in the menu. You just need to edit it again for every update of course. As much as I love the aircraft the animals are just a bit of a naff gimmick for me so I have thrown them out.
