A direct quote for their Facebook page:IRIS Flight Simulation Software (http://www.facebook.com/irissimulations)
Arghhh, 90% uploaded to the server and I forgot to fix the radio knob animations lol.....

Fixing it isn't hard but then I have to build a new installer and wait another hour for the 200mb installer to upload! Joy!So, I suspect that by tomorrow morning, we'll awaken to another new beauty. I tried to copy a few pics over, but it's not working properly, but is certainly a beaut! I will be buying this one unless the price point is a bit over $40.00, then may have to wait.

No Matt, no cammo scheme at the moment. There may be one in an upcoming texturepack but that will have to wait and see.

It would be interesting too see the pics you mentioned of a C27 in Aussie cammo. Especially as it's not in Aussie service or as far as I know the demonstrator wasn't painted in cammo for display to the raaf brass a few years back.

Warrant

September 6th, 2011, 15:51

Have not flown an inch yet, since my Saitek panels do not cooperate with the aircraft (yet). A quick start will not work either.This could be my system since i have problems with starting all turbo-props at the moment..... Still searching for a proper default plane loader.

Is there a quick start option in this bird?

If not, i'm off to read some 51 pages of manual.

Smudge

September 6th, 2011, 16:07

Warrant, don't panic.. ;)

On aircraft load follow the instructions below;

1. Right Click the 'Gust Lock' lever on the center console (located just in front of the throttle levers.

2. From the Aircraft Crew and Maintainance manager board that appears, click 'Autostart' then Left Click the gust lock to hide the clipboard. (You can also add the virtual copilot for audible prompts too, add or remove various components etc.)

3. From the overhead panel, move the Left starter to the START position, you should get a good start and confirmation of such if the copilot is added.

4. Once engine 1 is started, repeat for engine 2... all done..all started and away you go.

I had the good fortune of being able to walk inside one of the new Spartans flown by the 179th Air Lift Wing at KMFD not too long ago. Less than 100 flight hours on the plane (none of the 4 Spartans flown by the 179th has logged over the 100 hr mark). It still had that lovely "new plane" smell. Looking at the pics of the IRIS Spartan's VC, I can honestly say it is dead on with what I saw in the real plane....and I even compared the screenshots to the pics I took of the VC of the real Spartan....layout is a ringer.

Hi Smudge,

No panic here (besides a cat trying to attack my left foot).
Finally found a decent turboprop default flight i saved a million years ago, and it works (in other words, it was my system).
Finally got the bird to puff and spin the blades.

Thanks for the quick-start you just gave :salute:. Gonna use that when turning grey on all those flights i'm gonna make with this beauty, and reach a point when i don't want to go through all the knob-pushing no more for a short quick hop.
As usual, you people seem to have delivered another stunning piece of work! :medals:

DTC not loaded means there's no FSX Flightplan in system memory. If you create or load an FSX flightplan, then the Flightplan information is displayed on the lower left of the EHSI units.

Is outlined with a narrow black line
and
Has a center white line a little bit smaller in width than the red lines !

Well, not to be argumentative, but the livery on the buffalo and the livery on the C-27 are quite different.. Please look more closely at the C-27 link you supplied and you will see that the lightning flash has a white center which is twice as wide as the red outlines.. That being the case, I none the less have never claimed to be a painter. I'm a number cruncher specializing in flight models. I made that livery at the time that the c-27 teaser was released as a result of requests coming in for it. I hear that there may be another person doing a "proper" CSAR livery for it as we speak, which will inevitably replace mine. This livery also was uploaded only because of a request for me to do so by one of our members..
I still do not claim to be a painter..

hoo boyyy.. thats digging back into history a bit.. I'm afraid the best answer i could give would be little more than speculation or an educated guess. However, with a service ceiling of thirty thousand feet, I can speculate that its cruise altitude is between nineteen and twenty five thousand feet. I can also however, see that for most of its real world usage, it never sees that altitude. being what it is ( a combat transport ) it is unlikely that it will fly missions of greater than a couple hundred miles very often, and that would preclude it ever getting over 20000 feet. The Canadian SAR version supports this as well, as it can do a low level search for the entirety of its some 1000 mile range ( 2300 for the Canadian version carrying a 6000kg payload ). In the end, i think its not so much a matter of altitude, as it is the way you set throttle and pitch.

Painter or not, i like it!

Like the bird as well. She does fly smooth, and is eyecandy to watch. The only minor is the lack of interaction with my Saitek panel & instruments (external hardware).
For example;
- Not all information is displayed at my MFD's (fuel quantity for one).
- Switches (master, avionics master etc) do not work.
- AP cannot be activated from AP panel (however altitude, VS dial does function).

But then again, this bird is intended to be flown from the DVC, and that works just fine (and pretty simple/self explanatory if i might add).

So far; Job well done, IRIS :salute:

Hope to see a lot of different liveries for this one, both civil and military. When i have my rig running at 100% again, i might even throw a few brush strokes here and there.

OK thanks, if you were going to stretch it's legs say on a SFO-HNL(about 2200nm + usually headwind) type ferry run, what would you set your power for?

September 7th, 2011, 10:31

thats a tight squeeze leaving only a hundred miles ( 20 minutes?? ) worth of gas.. However, if I were to do it, I would after takeoff climb to 18000, set the power to about 66 percent and the pitch to cruise. However, let me qualify here.. I'm first and foremost an engineer, not a pilot. My work uses hard data extrapolated from the curves, dimensions, weight and engine data for any given plane.. Engineers typically dont need to know anything about flying, and as much as I would sometimes like to think otherwise, i'm afraid i'm one of them. You see, over the last year, i have been completely inside a P-61, and have accumulated well over a thousand hours flying it.. For that plane its a no brainer. Set the MP to 30 inch and th rpms to 2450, and you can make it to hnl with the external tanks loaded. But the spartan is a turbine. you dont set MP.. You dont set RPMs and at that point, my understanding breaks down. However I would still recommend 66% throttle,as if it has a cruise setting on the pitch adjust it for that.. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Jets and turbines could answer this better..

Thanks Pam, those settings worked great. I got it out of E55 Oceanridge's 2400' strip with a 5000lb payload, flew 2100nm to PHOG Maui at FL200 at 66% throttle. Average IAS of 240/TAS about 325, at shutdown about 17% fuel to spare. Didn't have much of a headwind on this trip so I figure it would be tight with an average headwind but its doable :)

David, a few suggestions for the VC, would it be possible to activate the VHF selection area panel so we can switch between Com1 and Com2 or maybe both...good for checking ATIS on approaches.

I am not sure if it is me or not but I can't seem go get the ADF and NAV2 pointers to show up on the VOR1 page on the PFD, is there a way to activate these?

Would it be possible to turn the HDG/CRS select subpanel into a 2d Popup. That way it could simulate tuning the information by feel instead of panning down.

I know the FMS is inactive and I can understand as those things are probably a lot of work. Would it be possible to instead put a default GPS then over one of the FMS screens? That way could at least access flightplan info, select approaches...etc. no biggie, can always add a 2D popup.

Anyway thanks so much for the great plane...perfect fit for me as my 'flying winnebago' lol

in the zip file there should be a text file titled "Add to aircraft.cfg.txt". Open that file up and copy its contents..
Oopen the aircraft config and scroll through the topmost section ( the [fltsim] section) and paste the copied text below the last [fltsim.x ] entry.
then change the number of the entry to reflect its place in line with the other fltsim entries.. That should be all you need to do.

So i see, and I apologize.. The reason its black is simple.. During the development process the exterior can go through several changes. Some of those changes cause for there to be changes in the texture mapping, and when that happes, for reasons i dont fully understand, the plane shows up black in the sim.. The obvious solution is to back up the texture causing the black image, then copy in the textures from a newer livery and edit them pasting the old textures on top before saving them..

My sincere apologies. I did not expect that at all..

Pam,

Great repaint! Alas-- I do believe you haven't been put in the loop with regards to the updated textures which were done just prior to release (Bake, weathering, panelline adjustments, riveting & more).

Just a heads up! You're missing quite a few of improvements. :D

Hope you're all enjoying the aircraft. :)

Awesome.. glad to see you folks enjoying it.. As for the texture updates. I kinda figured it out, but i know these cowboys, and when they get hungry, they want it now. With smoothies imminent CSAR coming out, rather than re-inventing the wheel so to speak, i decided to simply use what i had already, as I know his work is going to be light years ahead of mine.. I'm not saying my work is bad, but i know his is going to be that much better. Enjoy :) I'm off to figure out why my main comuter ( my dev machine ) is being such a temperamental baby this morning..

Pam, it's wonderful. Thank you for your contribution to the project.
Thank you David for such a wonderful addon to FSX. It is well worth the price.

I used to have a lot of fun with the Alphasim DHC-4 Caribou, abusing landing it in backcountry strips.
But it never ported well enough for me, over to FSX, but I would pull it out of the hangar every now and then.
It was my "go to" plane when I had the time to do FS Economy runs.

Well, the Bou is officially retired now from my FSX hangar.
It would be hard to go back to it after flying "Chuck" all afternoon.
It's like a Super Bou, on massive amounts of steroids.
I really haven't had this much fun in quite a while.

Prolly need to check the landing gear and tires though.
That last stop was a doozy. :icon_lol:

I meant the non-chopped up version of the entire fuselage+tail to avoid any alignment issues with tricky repaints. It's a trial and error game without it. But not really that important.

One last question, since the PSDs are 1024x1024, I'm assuming textures are also the same resolution and not 2048*. Correct?

Hi

Wings are separate but easy.

Fuselarge is separated once on both sides but there is a very good wireframe to help line up things. Tail fin is also separate.

For multiple fuselage texture sheets I have sometimes assembled them into a single PSD file (i.e. 5120 x 1024 for 5 sheets). You can then paint as required and after all painting is done you can split the big sheet down into smaller ones again. That takes all the alignment issues out of the equation. You do end up with a huge PSD file with dozens of layers so layer management (using sub-folders) is critical.

Looks amazing for fireworks indeed. Too bad there are no flare dispencers modelled on the IRIS C-27J, and the flare rate displayed is way too high. Some 100-120 are available per dispencer, and with the rate shown at the screenshots these are all expended in a single burst. It looks great, and the screenshots are amazing but these flares are there to deceive IR guided missiles, not for firework displays.
However, the spread pattern of this flare-effect looks quite accurate!

I had the good fortune of being able to walk inside one of the new Spartans flown by the 179th Air Lift Wing at KMFD not too long ago. Less than 100 flight hours on the plane (none of the 4 Spartans flown by the 179th has logged over the 100 hr mark). It still had that lovely "new plane" smell. Looking at the pics of the IRIS Spartan's VC, I can honestly say it is dead on with what I saw in the real plane....and I even compared the screenshots to the pics I took of the VC of the real Spartan....layout is a ringer.

Well, what I'd like to say is that if you were a big pigeon on the ground surrounded by hawks and eagles and hornets, youd be nervous too, but i doubt you would find that as funny as its intended to be.. Could you be a bit more detailed as to what you are interpreting as "nervous"?? You see, I was making that flight moderl, "before" I started doing weight distribution and the CG is back pretty far. So, what I THINK, you may be seeing, may be my own worst fears, and not what your seeing at all, and would really like to have an exact description so that I might possibly fix the issue..

Nope, not here. Ground handling is just fine. The only thing i suffer is some wild behaviour of the props at start-up (simply countered with giving it some time between starting up engine #1 &2), and during descent. But that happens with many planes, and is probably caused by my Saitek Throttle quadrant (drivers).

September 21st, 2011, 01:13

Hi all,

I don't have the C-27J yet, but I've been closely observing the comments about it on SOH, the Iris Facebook and Iris forum [especially so as I consider this aircraft is at the 'top end' of the FSX product price range]. I usually make my purchase fairly quickly on such a great looking aircraft, yet sadly I have to say it quickly become quite obvious there was a clear 'disparity' between comments, observations, problems and requests between the SOH Forum and Iris' Facebook and more recently their Forum.

Don't get me wrong, the textures, interior modeling and features look stunning. Unfortunately, looking at customer comments, I got the feeling pretty quick that this payware addon still had a whole lot of glitches. Just my opinion based on observations.

So, it appears that very few SOH customers have had any problems with this addon apart from one or two folks earlier in this post. Am I being too critical of the SOH C-27J customers and their apparent lack of critique about this bird? Maybe I am. Perhaps I just need more sleep! However, considering the amount of issues, questions etc. raised on the Iris forum [some even remain unanswered], I'll hold on to my $55.5 USD until I've read about the 1.2 version [I say version rather than 'patch' as it's a whole new 226Mb download].

Thanks for watching :salute:

It's in 336 Sqn colors (currently operating C-130H & C-130H30). Gonna make a special livery for the AWACS and the AC-27J in due time. Startup problems probably an FSX issue again. Gonna test another turboprop first. If that fails also, i need to re-arrange my default plane again.

Sigh.....the thing will not start. Autostart selected, all stuff lights up, switching starting knob one at the time.....power works, but no joy with the engines. I hate updates, when they screw up stuff that worked just fine.

You need to toggle the fuel cut-off valves on. They aren't set by the pre-start now.

Don't like what's been done to the auto-pilot. Switching on HDG, ALT or AIRSPEED hold sets the AP to your current heading etc, so you can't pre-set.

And i'm getting the contant "warning warning" as well.

Back to V1.0 me thinks...

Figured out it was something like that. Loaded another aircraft and found the mixture was closed.

Copied all contents from old aircraft.cfg and the old air file to the new Spartan folder and gonna test again.

Edit: Tested and switched back again. Got the engines running now. Only wonder why (with your co-pilot to assist and all) the fuel valves remain off at autostart in this update?
Also hope IRIS will release the saucer AWACS version as well, since it looks quite cool.
Off flying.....

Test flying the AC-27J....

After starting up engine #1 the aircraft behaved like an untameable stallion. After starting engine #2, at engine idle all was calm again. But, when slightly increasing power to taxi it became a digital response again: either absurd power, or nearly nothing at all.

The AP works quite well, the only difference is; i have to switch the Alt and NAV button prior to setting the desired altitude (and switch the NAV-GPS/FMC switch of course). Same goes for the AT (engage and then adjust). Liked the previous behaviour better. Are AP settings and engine settings embedded on other places then the aircraft.cfg?

If not, i'm gonna re-install 1.0 and add the new models manually.

Edit: AP behaviour restored, new models function perfectly (added to original install). My score so far: update undone, just added the two new models.

Edit 2: With these two new planes IRIS has provided me with allmost a full range of a fictional Royal Netherlands Caribean Air Force;

-The F-20C (24) and RF-20C (4)
-The C-27J (6)
-The EC-27J (2)
-The AC-27J (2)

The only thing missing is a KC-27J......

Once complete, i'll make an entire fictional RNLAF Division out of it, with all repaints, and AI (and perhaps some scenery).

Ooooo, lots of stuff to cover...

Firstly, the link below will take you to the IRIS forums C-27J patch page, that's where you'll find the latest info on any patches/modifications for the product. I've updated one of the systems files and upgraded to 1.2.1

http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/topic/9341-c-27-patch-status/

Secondly, let's go through some of the issues brought up.. ;)

1. When starting the engines, either using autostart or manually, follow the following procedure.

- Make sure that your fuel cutoff switches are in the 'cut' position.
- Make sure your park brake lever is pulled out.
- Turn Engine 1 starter knob to the 'start' position.
- When oil pressure on the ACARS screen is at 40 PSI or greater and the L OIL PX warning is extinguished, THEN press the left fuel cutoff button to switch fuel flow ON and the engine should start. You should get a peak of around 80% N1 before it settles between 65-70% N1 at idle.
- Next, repeat the above for the right engine.

2. Engine Fires... :)

As you're flying, keep an eye on the ITT. If it exceeds 833 degrees C, you'll get a L ENG HOT or R ENG HOT indication on the ACARS screen.. If that happens, decrease your speed, increase your altitude or decrease your power to the engines.
If you fly with the ENGINE HOT warning on for in excess of 5 minutes, the respective engine will catch fire and well, it's a one way trip down from there.. :)

During testing we found that low level high speed flight (less than 2000 feet and 300+ knots) for extended periods caused issues with engine overheating. So just bear that in mind.. ;)

3. AWACS

We developed several different variants of AEW&C equipment during testing, the E-3 dome style, the E-2C rotodome style and the Saab ERIEYE system. At the last moment the ERIEYE system was chosen due to it's real world likelyhood of being fitted to an EC-27J variant. Whilst I personally enjoyed (and in some cases preferred) the rotodome style, it wasn't the correct fit for the aircraft. Down the line, if we have to do another model update, maybe it'll make its way in, who knows. :) People have already requested a carrier variant and refuelling variant..lol.

4. Handling

Finally, as indicated in the manual. To get the best out of this aircraft, contrary to popular belief, fly the aircraft with your realism settings on easy. This was simply due to the final FDE tweaks being done on my system with easy settings on (I forgot to alter them after a new fsx.cfg build!) If you run at realistic, it'll be oversensitive and unstable. This is NOT an issue with Pam's FDE, it's an issue where I simply made last minute adjustments based on my systems settings.. :)

Not sure if there's anything else to cover.

Enjoy it, and painters, please note that with any paints you've done, the Tail Texture needs updating to take advantage of some of the EC-27 and AC-27 paints.. :)

Ciao for now.

No thanks. I will pass on 1.2.1 as is. FDE is screwed up if I have to change to easy for just one aircraft and that would keep it in the hangar gathering dust. The EC model is not attractive to me at all. The AC is fine but I will go back to 1.0. I was happy with that. Wouldn't mind adding the AC by itself. Hope you will fix it up soon.

I think the Radar boom on the EC is too steep angled as IIRC its angled to be horizontal at a certain airspeed and AOA, if i get this in FSX the aircraft is climbing still and is a quite a low speed...

I just picked up the Spartan a couple days ago. Fantastic model! I have a power question for people in the know. The pilot handbook says under the "Lineup Checklist" so set throttles at 90% of Max RPM. I'm assuming they mean 90% N1 since the props are running at 100%. So is 90% N1 maximum take off thrust for this aircraft? I notice there is a green, yellow and red tick mark right near 90% and another red tick mark at gauge limits for N1. Can full throttle be used for take off? Wouldn't the FADEC provide N1 and N2 overspeed protection at full throttle? If full thrust is OK for takeoff, is there a time limit to operate between the two red tick marks? Thanks for any info.

September 30th, 2011, 07:49

Well, no answer to my power question but I found that by operating the engines above 90% N1 will cause an overheat pretty quickly so that's obviously a limit that needs to be adhered too.

I think there's a serious FDE problem with this aircraft, at least from a power standpoint. The Spartan performance data on their web site states it can get airborne in 1900' from of an unpaved surface at gross weight. The IRIS model won't come anywhere near that.

I must apologize as my development machine is out of commission at the moment, and i'm unable to test this out. I seem to remember being able to take off in less than a thousand feet on that machine, but thats not only on that machine, its also the way i fly.. As soon as I can repair the machine, i will tst this out and make corrections. May I ask if your using version 1.0 or 1.1?? there apparently were some changes to 1.1s flight model which others have found issues with as well..
