Looking for opinions, I am going to a multi monitor system, there seems to be two options for the gauges, air manager or panel builder, any feedback would be welcomed. Best regards, Scot

Tony, worked like a charm thanks for the help I wouldn't have figured that out in a million years cheers and thanks again !! Scot CPR5

Hey Folks, I recently downloaded some airports in my area and have had trouble getting them to work properly. I wound up having to update a bunch of my libraries but I am still getting the annoying pause when the airports are in range saying that they might not display right. After reviewing the logs I discovered that I am missing an object but I am not sure what library the object is missing from. It is the same object for all three scenery's. The message I get is ' Unable to locate object: objects/decorations/tracteur_dynamic.obj " any help would be greatly appreciated, Scot

I am getting the effect of landing any aircraft as if it were landing on a sheet of ice, everytime I take of and land, it is worse on landing, regardless of wind conditions, weather etc. I have tried re calibrating which helped a tiny bit but not much. I currently have the ch rudder pedals, which I bought used and I am wondering if perhaps they have too many hours on them and need to be replaced. Any thoughts or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Scot

fantastic can hardly wait to see the finished product excellent work Tony!

I have noticed 5-10 fps better with this release. The scenery seem to be a little more stable, no un explained sudden fps drops I had been getting in the previous two beta's

your work is outstanding. I can't thank you enough for all that you do, your new mesh in my neck of the woods (Ontario) vastly improves on the original mesh. In particular around my hometown airport where there is now a quarry that is plainly visible and a land mark for navigation in this area. Thanks so much and am looking forward to your new mesh Scot

+1 would be a great tool to have for xplane

Anyone else have issue's with the com radio's in the 10.30b1. When I try to tune to any atis freq. all is silent. Using the same plane, location in 10.25 it's fine. thanks Scot

Hell I can manage that with out the Oculus rift just put me at the controls of a Dc-3 :blink: :blush:

oh I figured this one out on my own .... 26 people and cargo all in the cockpit starring down at dotted lines on the tarmac.... :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

Thanks for the reply Jerry, when looking around I seemed to have noticed that too by watching various u-tube vids etc. What about flap config? thanks again, ......off to practice "east does it" B)

well lets just say if it wasn't a sim world I fly in there would be 26 passangers who on a regular basis would find religion and request extra sick bags :blink: :blink: :blink: :wacko:

I appreciate the reply's very much, I find she either drops out of the sky or bounces hard down the runway, it's hard to get it just right. I have been watching some u-tube video's and from what I have seen most landings are done on the front wheels and then she settles down to the tail wheel. She just seems to float off the runway during take off but landing .... not so much ....

Hey folks, I have the LES DC-3 and I just love this old girl, however my skills are really lacking, I can get her off the ground with no problem but I am really struggling with the important part..... getting her back on the ground. Can anyone point me in the direction where I could get some tips on approach and landing configs etc. any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Scot

Yes indeed it is one and the same, it is a bit tedious to fix because of the way Windows recognizes the usb devices but it is fixable, as I have mine up and working. It would be nice if Microsoft would correct this as I am sure that it will have un intended effects on folks other then flight sim as well. The focus now though seems to be portable devices which brought about the change in the first place I suspect

Paula, There is a fix for it, but it is not straight forward and requires some changes to the registry. I have the radio, as well as multi-panel, throttles,switch panel, and the trim wheel. The problem has to do with a change that windows has implemented in order to give portable devices more battery life. As with most changes there un intended consequences. I wouldn't hold my breath for a microsoft fix any time soon. There is a thread I started earlier as well as some others that address the steps to correct it. If you feel up to messin with the registry give it a shot, if you need help to walk you through drop me a line and I'd be glad to help. Best regards, Scot

sure will get back to you

I had issue's with all the gauges prior to the upgrade, I use saitek panels to control the radio's but have checked them and are functioning for me.

I wanted to give a shout out to Cameron @ X-Aviation. The service that I have received has been far above and beyond the call of duty. Cameron has answered all my questions (even the stupid ones :blink: ) professionally and promptly, sometimes quicker then I could re- click on the inbox to check for new mail. I am happy to report that the LES DC-3 if functioning perfectly now (except for the wanna be pilot) These folks stand behind their product and the support is second to none. If you love the ol' classics and you don't have this plane..... YOU NEED IT! Thanks again Cameron, and also to all the other folks who jumped in and helped out as well. Best Regards, Scot

I don't look at the yoke much either :ph34r: I spend most of my time talkin' "pilot lingo" things like...... "why is that smoke billowing from them engines".... and... "oh this can't be good" I wondered because the rest of the detail of this plane is pretty amazing and I wondered if it was related to the Gizmo issue as well, I have been un able to start her since the new update.... what a beautiful ol' bird though, great to talk to you, Scot

Thanks Chuck appreciate the feedback, I did receive an email from Cameron this morning near as I can tell it appears Gizmo is in the plug in folder but not loading for what ever reason. As I had stated earlier although I have had the plane since April, my skills to fly it lacked alot :unsure: and I didn't recall for sure how functional the cockpit was. I did try and install a previous update and I did get some guages back, but still not 100 percent so I am concerned I may have other issue's as well. Question. Did you ever have an animated yoke? thanks, Scot

Thanks for the the info Goran, I just assumed it was probably something I had done :blink: will wait patiently

I have been having some issue's with my Dc-3, I installed the newest update from Cameron's page and since then I have no air speed indicator, no altimeter, no turn indicator, no fuel gauge, by this I mean they are there but do not function at all. Also I have no yoke animation and very limited buttons and switches inside the cockpit. I bought the plane back in April and have rarely flown it (mostly because I suck at it ) and I don't recall how much function the cockpit actually had. Has anyone had these issue's or have any advise? Best regards, Scot

Great set up Robert, Was it difficult to set up? I have a spare i3 with lots of ram and a decent video card in it, I would certainly consider this route and am thinking of picking up another computer and giving it a try. Thanks, Scot
