MV DHC-2 Beaver released!

[YoYo]

Hi,
I'd like to open the new topic about final version of DHC-2 of Milviz (for sticky). The model was released:
http://milviz.com/flight/products/DHC2/index.php .
The model is ready for FSX, P3Dv2 and v3 and future P3Dv4 (will).

btw.
be ready for service pack (or new version) also.
Few small things could be corrected (discovered recently).

Hiya,

Two Body Styles - Passenger version with enlarged rear windows, cargo version with original round rear windows and cargo with selectable visibility.

Are there any screenshots available of the "cargo version" body? So far i could tell all screenshots on the milviz website are from the other bodymodel wiwht enlarged read windows?

Regards,

Marcel

PS Found one ;-)

This aircraft is a real beauty. Great to fly and again an outstanding product from Milviz.

From those who have it so far, does it allow you to start with the engine running or is it always a cold and dark startup?

From those who have it so far, does it allow you to start with the engine running or is it always a cold and dark startup?

It allows you to configure start-up one of three ways: A) Cold and Dark, always, regardless of how your previous flight may of been saved. B) Ready to Start, which means that it doesn't start running, but switches & battery are on. Again, this is regardless of how your previous flight may of been saved. C) Ready to Fly. This isn't quite an 'engines running' scenario - what this does is it simply loads the aircraft according to how your previous flight was saved, or how your previous aircraft load state was (as in, if you're in a running aircraft, and you switch to the Beaver, it'll stay running).

The third option is recommended if you're saving flights to pick them up again later (like in-flight), or if you're a 'save it how I left it' kind of guy.

The Beaver looks beautiful! Looking forward to some beat up bush liveries.

Milviz's page on the Beaver mentions that the Milviz / REX WX Advantage Weather Radar is included in the purchase. After purchase can we also add the radar to other aircraft?

Thanks,

Greg

That one was flying out of the CAP hangar at Merrill Field, Anchorage in the seventies.

Just received an email from Milviz... update Milviz_DHC-2_v1.170526 is available.

Maybe that's why my first three attempts to download it failed... They must have been updating the download file. Finally got it about 1/2 hour ago, updated file number.

Thanks for posting.

Two points, if I may.

Whats up with the prop? It should start spinning as soon as you hit the starter switch. In the video it 'stutters' a bit before it starts spinning.

Also, when starting the Beaver (most radials in fact) you let the engine spin a few times under starter power before turning on the mags. This is noted in the manual.

cheers,
Lane

My Beaver that is depicted as the beautiful brown Beaver N297B is actually N117F paint wise, with N297B on the Instrument panel. Is this a standard "quirk" in everyone's download or did others actually get the brown Beaver??

2 possible bugs I've found... anyone else had problems, or am I a dumbass?

1. Starter, the prop almost refuses to turn at first.
2. Skis... one sticks to the ground and the plane leans over like something broke when they're lowered.

[ncooper]

Hello,
Yes, I see both of those things.
Wouldn't bug reports be more useful on the Milviz forums?

Yep... I have encountered the same. NOT complaining.... just trying to help Milviz polish the Beaver and make it better. I think it is flying better. Seems a bit more "Draggy" when the flaps come down.
deHavilland airplanes tend to slow down even when the nose in pointed in the direction you usually expect the airspeed to increase! "Flaps full, force the nose down more to break the float and minimize air-speed decay... add power to slow the sink rate...backpressure to "quit" flying!" Yep...that's the deHavilland way. A Canadian Elevator!

For sure. Usually I assume I'm doing something wrong ;-). Just wanted to verify.

Same here, not complaining either. A few little bugs are always expectedon on version 1.0!

Btw. the virtual cockpit has an own programming (so for example Saitek panels dosen't work - especially Saitek Switch Panel).
I created LVAR profile for MV Beaver so if You whant I can share it (works with SPAD.next: https://www.spadnext.com/home.html ).
