Nice, I like it. Let me know when you release it. :-) Craig.

Thanks TuFun Also just been advised by PC Aviator Australia that they have Version 1.1 available for those customers.

OK Simmarket, Flightsimstore and FS Pilot Shop all seem to have the V1.1 update. PC Aviator australia and USA don't seem to have updated yet (I have received no acknowledgement from either of the last two, I've just re-sent the email to PC Aviator Australia). I did, of course, contact all companies at the same time. Unfortunately I have no control over these things after that and each company handles things differently (as you can see I name my installers with the version number for easy reference, but then FS Pilot Shop puts them in a zip and gives them a general name). Hopefully once the weekend is finished PC Aviator will fix this up.

Hi Glenn Sorry but you are right, it should be possible to copy the force feedback settings from another aircraft into the aircraft.cfg and edit them if necessary.

I'm afraid not Bob. Updates are only available from your account with the retailer.

Using CTRL+E to start the engine will not go through the full start procedure (it just was too hard to stop FSX from going through its own autostart routine). The best way to get the Autostart with custom animations is to right click on the starter button or use a key command for "Starter 1". Either of these methods should work.

Currently I have only heard back from Simmarket and Flight Sim Store about the update. I am yet to hear from FS Pilot Shop and PC Aviator. Only when I have heard from all retailers will I update my webpage and the demo version.

Smithsonian Institute has tech drawing on microfiche. Not sure how much it costs but probably a fair bit less than $12000 http://airandspace.si.edu/research/arch/collections/techdraw/mfilm.cfm

2D tooltip on the trim panel is incorrect (but should be correct in the VC). It has been fixed for the patch.

Is this T28D related? I hope not. I was able to replicate the rear panel problems in DX10 and was able to figure out the fix (it wasn't too hard). It will be fixed up as part of the V1.1 patch. Anyone else got any problems feel free to post about them and I will try to sort them out.

Re the speed brake: A models never had them and with the A model only having an 800hp engine they probably weren't needed. B+C models with the larger 1425hp engine do have speed brakes (and baggage compartments, the speed brake is before the baggage compartment, you just can't open the baggage compartment with the speed brake down as you would hit them together). D models, being converted A models miss out on the speed brake. BUT some D models were converted B models so these may have had a speed brake. I will look into Rogers DX10 issue.

Thanks for the info, there are a number of ways FSX can change throttle and I read them all, I will probably have to double check them to make sure they work properly. FSUIPC users should be OK as long as they don't use KEY_THROTTLE_SET or KEY_MIXTURE_SET. I read everything else but I use those two commands to resend to FSX. Also, if you use FSUIPC to control the cowl flaps then don't use the cowl flaps switch in the VC as this won't work well. But, if you have cowl flaps assigned to a lever using FSUIPC then you probably won't need to use the cowl flaps switch in the VC.

No fuel boost on this variant (although the B and C do have ones). Fuel is fed by gravity from both wings to a central sump and an engine driven pump sucks it up from there. No rain effects or fog effects, it just would've killed performance.

Not sure of the cause of that, one of the beta testers had a problem with noise artifacts from the NAV signal. Just make sure the comm radio isn't set to T/rec+G which turns on both com1 and com2. If com1 and com2 are set to the same channel it may be the problem. T/rec+G plays the selected channel plus the guard frequency as well.
