...things are moving ahead

you pay the flight, i'll bring the beers...

Thanks a lot Ron, I didn't know this Tool. Till know i had to start P3D every time to check my results! It's fantastic and it'll save me a lot of time...

Thank you all for your mental support! It's so frustrating, i'm almost ready for some holiday There is not even one segment that has the same size or the same angle as its opposite or neighbour item. It takes two houres to draw a line over two segments...

Hi Ron, i know exactly what you mean "I promise myself it'll be the last Carenado I'll do. They suck the will to live right out of you." I like this Aircraft-Style so i force myself to finish this Project soon. We'll see... Ragards, Raller

Hello, i figured out, if you try to fire up the Engines after "Cold and Dark", you have to switch the two "Fuel Selector" once in each Position. After that the fuel flow to the Engines works! Regards Raller

I tried to contact the PCAviator Shop several times without success. Finally i ask Carenodo for help: Carenado Support, Apr 10, 14:26 -03: Greetings, Thank you for the heads up, we'll check that with them. Regards, Carenado. Raller, Apr 8, 02:31 -03: Hello, PC-Aviator Store sucks, they don't react on any Support-Question at all. Could you please force your vendor to update there downloads for your Products, especially the PC-12? Regards Ralf

Ok, i purchased the PC12 from the PC-Aviator-Store and the latest Download-Version there is the one with File-Date (PL100XV2.exe) 03.03.17. Do you have a newer Version?

Hello, i reported the bug also and they wrote me back, that the Issue was already solved! I replied as follows: If i use the 2x GNS530 integration, everything works fine, but If i use the 1x GTN750 and 1x GNS530 integration, the GNS530 goes dark when left panel lighting switch is turned on I hope they accept it as a bug by now...

Support (Alabeo) Oct 19 Greetings, This aircraft is not P3Dv3 compatible yet. We are updating all our aircraft one by one, so stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates and news. Regards, Alabeo.

Ok, i found the answer myself. Responsible are the following entries in the aircraft.cfg: [autopilot] use_no_default_pitch=1 default_pitch_mode=0 use_no_default_bank=1 default_bank_mode=0 Explanation: default_pitch_mode This determines the default pitch mode when the autopilot logic is turned on. 0 = None 1 = Pitch Hold (current pitch angle) 2 = Altitude Hold (current altitude) If no value is set, Pitch Hold will be the default. default_bank_mode This determines the default bank mode when the autopilot logic is turned on. 0 = None 1 = Wing Level Hold 2 = Heading Hold (current heading). If no value is set, Wing Level Hold will be the default.

Hello, i love the Autopilot in the Chieftain because it is the only one (in my hole fleet) that can hold the Alt and i am still able to control the Airplane with the Yoke. It is fantastic for me as a nonpilot to enjoy the flight and don't pay attention to the altitude. My question is: It seams, that the Saratoga also uses the same Autopilot-System. Why is it impossible in the Saratoga to control the Airplane to left and right, when the Autopilot ALT-Hold is on? Is there an ini-entry to change the behavior? Regards Raller

PS: For the Videos i used the newest Nvidia driver 373.06. Over a long period of time i tested all the Nvidia drivers and figured out, that the 368.39 is the best for me. With this one i have the least stutter and it is just a little smoother in P3D then all the others. So i went all the time back to the 368.39. For those who are interested, give it a try...

I know, like i said, the system is operating to full capacity. The terrain stutters a little bit once in a while, that's acceptable to me. But with the Chieftain the Airplane itselfs stutters with small jumps. Howsoever, i try a few more fine-tuning-settings to get the best out of my hardware... Kind regards Raller

Hi Bob, i also played around with the Affinity Mask a long time ago and the best for me is AM=7. GTN750 works in automode on Core 4 and with no HT it was the best overall setting, till the Chieftain comes ;-) I have a I5 3570K with 8GB Ram and a GTX960 with FPS permanently set to 27. It works on the edge but relative smooth with all my Addons and Airplanes. Maybe it's not enough for the Chieftain. Avionic OFF https://youtu.be/HJtDVJz5G14 Avionic ON https://youtu.be/FU8glqJxMP0

Hello, i modified the original Alabeo-Paint just a litle bit to make it an Airplane with a german sign. Hope you'll like it too... http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=goertz&CatID=p3dacrp&Go=Search Greetings from Germany Raller

Hello, thanks for your replies. Funny, i also saw the Chieftain on sale at PC Aviator and was happy to own now an Aircraft with Digital-Panel. I use GTN750, but no matter if i install GNS530 or GTN750, it judders. Only when i turn off the hole Avionic, the flight is smooth again. I agree, that the problem seems to be too much Digital-Hightech-Gauges. Too bad. If i fly in areas with no addon-scenery it is barely noticeable. But if i fly in my favorite areas (with UTX, GEP3D, AS16, Germany North, Airport Berlin) it is bothering. I try to record a Video to show it. Greeting from Germany Ralf PS: BTW, i also use Orbx Trees HD, looks good but most importantly it increases the P3D performance noticeable. But with the Chieftain even this reaches its limits ;-)

Hello, i use a lot of Airplanes in P3D v3.3.5, A2As, PMDGs, Carenados, RealAir and of course Alabeo Saratoga and the new PA31 Chieftain. The only Airplane in the hole Fleet that makes the Picture judder is the Chieftain. If i turn the Avionic OFF in the cockpit during flight, the Picture is smooth and everything is ok. But if i turn the Avionic back ON in the cockpit, the Screen beginns to judder in a second rythm. There is no pleasure in flight with that stuttering. Like i said, this occurs only with the Alabeo Chieftain. Can anyone confirm this problem and is there a solution to solve the problem? Kind Regards Ralf

Hello, i fly the PA32 Saratoga II TC in P3D v3.3.5 and i wonder, that the mouse pointer in every view is always "aktive". If i point the mouse over a knob in VC, it works fine. But if the mouse-pointer is somewhere else on the screen, it stays "active"! So it is impossible to make a right-klick somewhere on the screen, for eg. to change the view. No matter if i am in the virtual cockpit or in the outside view, the mouse-pointer is always "aktiv". Everything works fine, but it bothers me, that i can't use a right-klick on the screen to get into the P3D-Menu. Can someone confirm this condition? Is that a bug? Has someone a solution to fix that? Greetings from Germany Raller

Hello, thanks for your repley, i thought i do something wrong. Btw, i use P3D v3.3.5 Greetings from Germany Ralf

Hello, when i start the Engine from the Cold and Dark condition over the "Ready for taxi" knob, the 500s Engines starts but the "Master Fuel Switches" stands in the CLOSE position (see screenshot). When i put the Mouse over the Switches it says ie "Fuel Selector left (ALL)" ??? (Strange) When i click on the switch once, it remains in the down-position but the Engine begins to shot down and the Mousover says "Fuel Selector left (OFF)" (Correct) When i click on the switch again it goes in the OPEN position and says "Fuel Selector left (CENTER)" (Correct) My Question: How can the Engines starts while the Master Fuel Switches stands in the CLOSE position and why says the Mouseover description "Fuel Selector (ALL)" Thanks, Ralf
