    Warren,

    The radio is setup for Nav1 to have a standby that is set in Nav2, with a Swap Freq switch just below Nav2 dial.
    There is also a swap switch in the center of the radio that swaps between Nav1 and ADF2 using the Radio compass.

    This is the Radio setup in the cfg for the wheeled version:

    [Radios] // available, standby frequency, has glide slope
    Audio.1 = 1
    Com.1 = 1, 1
    Com.2 = 1, 0
    Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
    Nav.2 = 1, 0, 0
    Adf.1 = 1
    Adf.2 = 1
    Transponder.1 = 1
    Marker.1 = 1

    You can turn off the Nav1 standby by changing the Nav.1 to 1,0,1.
    Or, deactivate the Nav.2 by changing Nav.2 = 0,0,0


    Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
    Nav.2 = 1, 0, 0

    This is the way the amphibian was set up in the aircraft.cfg; it may be less confusing for you:

    [Radios] // available, standby frequency, has glide slope
    Audio.1 = 1
    Com.1 = 1, 1
    Com.2 = 1, 0
    Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
    Nav.2 = 0, 0, 0
    Adf.1 = 1
    Adf.2 = 1
    Transponder.1 = 1
    Marker.1 = 1

    Thanks Milton
    Very thorough. I'll have a good look and see what I think.
    Take care

    And the bumps keep getting better. I'm thinking at this point I'll try reducing specs a little but if it doesn't get any better, I'll call it good.

    It does look good Willy.

    Specular looks right but seems the reflectivity is a bit high though.

    A question: what is "model_interior" file (0 octet) in the plane directory (wheeled version) ?
    Sorry for my poor english.

    Francis
    Francis, nothing wrong with your English; I understand it perfectly.

    The "model_interior" file is added by the sim to the main folder for me anyhow. You can delete it, and it will likely reappear after flying again.

    Based on the few issues discussed in the last few days, I assume all the reports are in.

    Today, I will update the archive in place with the changes discussed and a few that were not discussed over the last few days.

    I will note the update in the description and update the archive to v1.1.

    Hi Milton
    Just wondering if you may have had a chance to assess the pitch control function in the Lear autopilot. It still does not appear to be working for me.
    Thanks

    Warren,

    The pitch hold seems to work here for me. It will not, of course, hold a pitch that is unsustainable.

    I am using these Autopilot settings in the cfg per my previous post:

    use_no_default_bank=0 //Leave as 0 for the Lear AP

    use_no_default_pitch=0 //Leave as 0 for the Lear AP

    default_pitch_mode=1 //1 = pitch hold or 2 = Altitude hold

    default_bank_mode=2 // 1 = Wing Level Hold, 2 = Heading Hold (current heading)

    I have updated the archive with all the changes, now V1.1, and noted in the description.

    The changes, mostly minor were wide and varied so I simply replaced the original files.

    If you want the updates, you must download the full package.
    If you do so, protect any changes you made to the previous version.

    I'd almost finished a few dds 2048x2048 paints for it with specs and bump maps, but I was sent some close up high resolution pics of a Super 18 and found some details that I wasn't aware of that I want to include. So it'll be a few days on them.

    Hello from Senegal.
    Is it animism???

    Great confusion with my simobjects/airplane ......FSX and P3DV3 caused by D18S..... before flying hard to choose.

    I keep a lot of D18S in theses directories, never put any in the trash of my PC, even not flying, they stay there maybe waiting for the last flight.
    Some people tell me to put them in a Hangar somewhere near simobjects/airplane, but I hesitate to do that.
    Many thanks Milton and friends to our chidish dreams.
    regards
    Francis

    Hi Milton
    I installed the V1.1 of the Beech and this time the autopilot works fine. In the previous release version when I highlighted the autopilot pitch the tool-tip came up followed by a fairly long string of numbers in a bracket. Now only the "autopilot pitch" shows in the tool tip. Not sure if it means anything but the bottom line is that the autopilot functions properly.
    For any painter who might be interested there is a Beech 18 for sale on Ebay and within the listing there are one or two interior (cargo hold) shots and one of a panel.
    Thanks again Milton for this great airplane.

    Warren, that is interesting Sir. I still get the long string of numbers. :-) There is an anomaly there; just do not know what.

    Hi Milton
    I'm not sure if it was in the beta but the number string did show up in the initial release "autopilot tool tip" and compared to what I downloaded this AM the autopilot "pitch" in the first release was not working for me - in V1.1 it works fine I don't think even I could have screwed up the installation - however, aside from being a point of interest everything now works as it should so thanks again.

    I don't know about FS2002, but FS2004 paints for Milton's Beech 18 work fine in FSX on the FSX native version he just released.

    The D18S was developed for FS2004; I changed some animations so that it would work in FS2002, but it is the same aircraft and mapping.
    The textures will work.

    Many thanks Milton .

    When I take off during winter with snow on the runway there is smoke that stays under the plane even at higher altitude ?
    Visible on spot and tower view.
    I tried to delete all effects....till there ?

    Francis, I can not duplicate the problem here. Can you give me an airport, time of year and weather conditions you have there.
