Felis 747-200?

[Swe_Richard]

I am in the mood to get something for XP12. What is the current state of said aircraft? I remember reading upon release it was hard on performance, but how is it nowadays?

Still pretty hard on performance but what an amazing aircraft. You won't be disappointed. Besides Felis is a legend among legends. The fact that he lives in a war torn Ukraine and still pumping out regular updates with all the living challenges is nothing short of insane and amazing. Hats off to this guy.

Yes. I absolutely loved the Tu-154 and because of this I have high expectations of everything else.. 😉

Unfortunately I have barely used this airplane in XP12, as it is still not compatible with external add-ons that I use, like OnAir.

Oh, thanks for telling me this! Never fly without OnAir so it's a no-no for me then.. 😕

Found this video and man, it is hard to resist getting this one..

Hmmm.. I caved and bought it and tested it in OnAir and lo and behold it registers the payload? Seems to work just fine!

My last test was about a month ago and never got any answers to my support requests. Will try it again, thanks.

However OnAir don't seem to pick up flaps positions so I got a 'no-flaps' penalty.. 😉

So, I still am facing the same issue with OnAir using the 742. As seen below, there are 139 pax and 51000lb cargo on the plane, but OnAir says there is 0 payload loaded. Checking the box next to Autoset does not work at all.

How are you getting OnAir to detect the loaded payload on the 747-200?

That is indeed odd. I have no idea. I'm on the latest beta. When I caved and bought the 742 I just did an instant load to try it out and this morning I did it 'real time'. It just worked. Can any other plugin be in conflict or anything?

Don't think so. I use OnAir with multiple other planes without issues and also saw that some people are having the same issue on Felis' and OnAir's discord. The next time you fly, could you just send a screenshot of the total payload section of OnAir and the airplane tablet once you have started the flight?

Sure can.

So, I have completely deleted my install, re-installed and now it is working. 🙂
