Thank you so much for the updates, especially the barometer and mixture fixes. The Com1 and VOR radios now work as advertised, but I notice that the ADF cannot be tuned unless the battery and avionics switches are on.

After spending my money on planes like the Connie of A2A, I came to the conclusion that this plane and all its development team deserve the best of the prizes, it is a real shame that the companies that are dedicated to the planes of payment, Do not even have the honesty to do a checklist like the C47, you have done justice to a plane that is a myth, now only need someone learn from you

Thank you, guys!

Thank you to the team for continuing the evolution of this amazing release. If ever there existed a project worthy of ongoing efforts to achieve perfection, this one is definitely it.

Thanks for the updates.
I've installed the latest fix and like the animated wipers pretty neat

I would like to know if the anti-smash light (Anti-Collision) toggle is suppose to be functional?
The toggle switch is just flat. Other toggles seem work just fine.

I am using it in P3D V3.4

**THibben** · March 16th, 2017, 13:50

I am pretty sure I have not installed the updates correctly. Is there anyway I can delete all and then install a single file which includes all of the updates?
This is probably the only way I will get the plane installed correctly.

Thanks for any help,

Tom

Tom,

If you have changed nothing from the previous release, the installation procedure is
"copy the Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.14 folder from the download to your airplanes folder."
The remaining instructions in the readme refer only to backing up any changes you might have made.

Gray eagle

It is still a beta, if you look a bit further you will find some more switches that do nothing.

There is still a feedback and support topic which might be a better place for support requests and feedback.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I don't remember what I have done previously as my memory is getting pretty poor.
I was hoping I could just start over. I have also asked the question in the support forum>

Excellent work on the new updates. If I may make a suggestion for the next one, I'd like to see a more "age" appropriate course indicator (CDI). Please see below:

Thank you for the update. This bird just keeps getting better and better.

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned this yet but is it possible for both landing lights to be toggled together since one of the switches is inoperable or are you guys planning for both Landing Light switches to operate their respective lights further down the road?

Oh.. and is there anyway to open the front pilot side door?.. Thanks!

**cavaricooper** · March 17th, 2017, 07:21

Many, many thanks for the update! Your collective works are greatly appreciated!

Hi all
Just wondering if anyone else is having difficulty starting the number 2 engine since the update. Everything has always gone 100% for me in V3.14 but now I have not beem able to start NO 2 since the update - always possible that I have found a new way to screw up but so far no matter what I attempt simply no start although one of the pilots calls "No 2 starting up" probably more out of surprise than anything. The engine turns and the starter cuts out as this call is made but the engine does not start.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks
Warren (aspen31)

The first engine to get started is engine no 2, perhaps you have been looking at engine no 1 instead?

Anyway, a fairly fail-safe way of starting an engine is to do it via the Checklist. Call up the Shift-5 Checklist, turn on voices, verify all relevant checkmarks are present on p. 1 (Before Startup), if not L-click the line so that the Checklist does it for you, then proceed to page 2, and again do nothing but L-clicking lines when prompted. This way, the Checklist will practically act as a live instructor demonstrating where the levers are and what needs to be done. Normally, after going through the Checklist prompts, the engines will start okay. If not give us a screenshot of the Shift-2 Control and Shift-3 Monitor panels and we will sort it out.

Yes, we want to be able to operate the landing lights individually, but we haven't reached that stage yet. The front door is rarely seen in open position, it's mainly an emergency and maintenance door, nevertheless it's a fair call.

Hi Manfred
In my defense I was in fact looking at and attempting to start No 2 first but I confess to not (ever) using the checklist. I will now do that although it is not in my usual "Standard Operating Procedure". Have not had a failed start in V3.14 perhaps more out of blind luck rather than good management. I'll advise.
Thanks
Warren
