I have also been dabbling since subLOGIC days and would have to say I totally agree!! If the flight handling and sounds are up to the same standard as the visuals, this freebie will put a lot of payware products in the shade!

Great aerial shots of a magnificent area of the country! We just drove through that region late last year - loved the whole of Western Australia, especially the entire coast and the National Parks we visited! Since arriving home on the east coast I have also flown the entire Big Lap route we drove , which was almost as enjoyable!

I have just purchased your FSR500 Piper M500 from the MSFS Marketplace. For repainting I need a Blender model and paint kit - can you please advise if they have been released yet and if so, point me to those resources? TIA
-
All my Aerosoft model files are missing the belly objects (at the wing root). That can be painted easily in the paint kit if it is all one colour, but if different colours need to match and align with the fuselage paint, it is very challenging to do. Is anyone able to help please? TIA for any assistance!

FSS Tecnam P2012 - Completely unusable
ozzieblr replied to JYW's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
OK - understand. I'm presuming you have tried a complete uninstall, deletion of folder from Community, restart computer, restart the installation from AerosoftOne? I don't think it will accept your Aerosoft activation code on Contrail btw! -
FSS Tecnam P2012 - Completely unusable

If you delete the FMSPlugin.js file from the Panel folder, you will/should be able to use most of the avionics except the keyboards/keypads, so having a flight plan from the World Map will work. Then the plane will fly quite well - I'm enjoying it. I've not had problems with bindings, but agree that the default pilot position is weird, as is the lack of visible pilots before start, the way the panel jolts around when throttle adjustments are made, and a few other niggling faults will certainly need fixes before it becomes a truly enjoyable aircraft. I am also frustrated that the only airframe variant that can be repainted at present is the default pax version - I've not found a way to activate any of the other models, which is another problem that needs addressing, along with some sample file structures for each variant. -
After a huge amount of frustration, time and effort, I eventually got a message from FSS about the above problem. Uninstalling, reinstalling, starting as administrator did not work, but simply deleting one file is their temporary fix for the problem - it worked, but it apparently affects the use of the keypad, which is not regarded as a big deal! So if there is anyone else out there struggling with the same issues in this newly released aircraft here is the fix: 1. REMOVE the file fss-aircraft-tecnam-p2012\SimObjects\Airplanes\FSS_Tecnam_P2012\panel\FMSPlugin.js 2. YOU MAY ALSO NEED TO edit the layout.json file in the root folder to delete the entry for the FMSPlugin.js file. 3. WAIT FOR FSS - you will find the avionics work after doing 1 and 2, and FSS said they are working on permanent a fix.

There's much more to it than that - new updated modelling to remove mirroring is one major improvement for painters and others wanting more accurate liveries. And there are other things he has done too ... check out his modifications log.
-
That method of creating liveries is extremely complicated and time-consuming and therefore only makes real sense if you are going to sell or distributed hundreds or thousands of them. However, for most users wanting to create custom liveries it is simply uneconomical in time and effort. Commercial publishers have created models which can be painted with quality liveries much more easily, and I believe Asobo could do that too if they chose.
-
There are still some mirroring issues with the model, including the Kuro 787-8 - an Asobo legacy from the 787-10 which they will need to fix, I assume. However it is possible to adapt some liveries to accommodate those, and I am particularly pleased with the China Southern livery I have done for the 787-8!

Anyone else with blank Caribou Garmin??

Thanks Mace - I had just done that (remove the compatibility mod) and it did fix the problem! -
Anyone else with blank Caribou Garmin??
ozzieblr posted a topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
For no apparent reason, my Caribou Garmin instrument is blank - even when starting the aircraft on the runway with engines running! I have not flown the aircraft before, and yet have seen online videos where the instrument is live and operating when pilots have commenced with engines running. I have both the 430/530 WT instrument as well as the 430/530 Compatibility fix installed from the Content Manager - could one or both of these be the problem? If anyone has a solution, I'd be glad of your help! TIA! -
I have the same problem with my updated file from Marketplace. Do others have this problem with aircraft purchased from other places? UPDATE - this mod at flightsim.to seems to have fixed the problem for me: Search for '[HJet] V1.1 - External LED Lights Improvement'

Longitude after Wednesday's AAU beta update
ozzieblr replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I liked one of dwendel's liveries for the Longitude so much that I adapted it and use these colours to fly it every time it is taken out of the hangar! https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4bzk0qdosmy5nj/Jet6 Citation Longitude.jpg?dl=0 -
Longitude after Wednesday's AAU beta update
ozzieblr replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Certainly the (AAU) avionics update is a great step forward, but to say it is study level on a par with PMDG (or Fenix) is something of a stretch! Its cockpit now demands greater knowledge and interaction, and it flies much better than in the past, but it still lacks some of the refinement in modelling and texturing of the better add-on aircraft (far too much mirroring and not even a tiny bit of wing flex, just to name two important things). Having said all of that, it is still a fun aircraft to fly, along with the C208 and the TBM930 (with their respective improvement mods) and some of the other modded default aircraft. Cheers!
