Dear All

at AVSIM you find our next version Starliner

New

Full VC
New Flight dynamics
Wipers
many other things improved

It is a FS2004 SDK model which works in FSX quite well(Pls look to the propdisks) and was mostly tested in FSX(My FS9 is dead other testers too)

Give it a try

Awesome, thanks for the HU, hopefully your team could do a native FSX bird one day.

Just finished a test hop. Some notes on my observations.
( FSX Acceleration DX9 - WinXP )

One problem I noted was on entry into the VC I am getting
a constant "non-combustion" sound. After the hop with everything
shut down I continued to get the "non-combustion" sound. I believe
it is the xce1b.wav file and the xce2b.wav file that are being played.

I have TrackIR so I selected that viewpoint setting in the aircraft.cfg
file. That gives me a good view out of the left seat window, back to the
#1 engine and prop of #2.

I did note that I was losing mouse clickpoint ability on the AP and
radio panel on occasion. Initially I was able to tune the radios and
think I had tooltip display on the Ap but later in flight I lost that
ability. I was still able to operate the other panel functions OK.
At some point the AP and radio clickpoints 'came back'...I have no idea
what transpired to cause that. I do know that the 3d VC gauge
locations are somewhat different in the VC between FS9 and FSX
as far a texturing goes. Not sure if this is playing into this anomaly.
The seat belt/smoking swiches, pilots mags and wiper switch all
are still active when the radios/AP are not.

All else looks good.

Downloaded. Nice Connie. Thank you for the HU. I had passed over it thinking it was not worth the trouble. But it's a very good freeware.:jump:

I too past this up, so thanks for the HU.

I often install only the minimum to get a plane going to see the basics then proceed to fully install should it pass the first look. So, the gear did not fully go up or down, until I installed the sounds, gauges and effects.

I like the new callouts for gear, flaps, takeoff speeds, and landing altitudes.

The VC looks pretty good too.
