Hello,

Just a word: the last version v0.9.4 has been released on French-VFR (english version of my home site).
This addon has been tested and validated under MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 !

This package contains many variations of the CANSO PBY:

- Liner : the version used by Air France (C-FCRR) for the air connections between the Islands during the 50s

- Blisters used by the US Navy (N427CV)

- Water-Bomber with several variations: a Canadian (C-FNJE), a Quebecoise(C-FPQK), and a French one (F-ZBAW)

Two news variations have been added since the last versions :

CANSO PBY-6A with its emblematic Calypso repaint (Cdt Cousteau)

BlackCat (modernized VC)

 

A personal account isn't needed on French-VFR but you should use the account/password noted in the yellow lines before the link (protection against hotlink).

ChangeLog:

• Workrails have been textured on wings texture.
• Compas has been redone entirely (5 animations) to resolv the Heading Bug/AutoPilot problem (solved with Hollister56)
• Vibrations added to the yokes
• Frequency of computations for vibrations decreased (Hz: 30 => 9)
• A "black cat" (kitten) was added in place of the "red" one in the military version (a military VC is planned for the v1.0.0)
• Flight model amended for water take off (drag and lift for floats are decreased - files amended by Tiger1962)
• Added apron.FLT and some amendement on others FLT files
• Added vibrations computations and then add theses parameters to needles or control commands
• To use a GPS Working Title, some user modifications (*) should be maded in aircraft.cfg to use the panel.WT file configurated.

(*) In the [FLTSIM.x] section of appropriate repaint, the user should modify the panel entry to use panel.WT:

Panel="\..\..\frenchvfr_canso_common\panel.WT "
