Beech D18S Cargo Wheeled Version

***stovall*** · June 22nd, 2017, 07:29

Milton Shupe has released a beta version of his Wheeled Cargo Beech D18S. Check it out HERE!!!

***manfredc3*** · June 22nd, 2017, 08:21

Yes, found it late last night, and downloaded right away. Getting ready to take it for a spin.

**Bomber_12th** · June 22nd, 2017, 08:47

Thank you for the heads-up, Tom, and thank you Milton for all of your hard work on these - both originally, and now in the conversions.

***stovall*** · June 22nd, 2017, 10:30

This cargo version of the fantastic D18S is already a favorite of mine. Besides the great flying characteristics, the sound is some of the best I have every heard. Thanks Milton and team for a great addition to the hanger.

Took her for a ride around Puerto Rico first. Later around the Bolivian Andes and what a pleasure she is to fly! The soundset is indeed one of the very best, I might be getting too romantic but those engines really sound as if while being conscious of their own age they were still struggling hard to keep themselves running and flying

Thanks for a great job!

**Milton Shupe** · June 22nd, 2017, 10:47

Thank you; keep in mind this is a beta so please report any issues found.

There are a few minor ones already reported.

ATC ID on the Globe texture fltsim section

Missing texture= texture name on one CAFNM entry; should be texture=CAFNM

Standby freq should be activated for Nav1 and comm1

Panel.cfg has a few minor errors regarding tail wheel lock on console.

All these have been corrected and will be reflected in the final release.

Thanks

I agree; Nigel did a great job on those sounds.

Stupid question probably but I guess this updated and native version makes the MSDC version by Bjoern redundant now. The D18S textures I had (except some earlier Logan ones have gone across nicely without a glitch. graphics are nice and the sound I like and flies smoothly.

FWIW Couple of points for me:

Tailwheel Lock switch on pedestal indicates but does not operate with mouse.
Flap Lever switch on pedestal indicates with mouse but does not operate with mouse.
Option to get rid of the yoke by clicking on seat is no longer present.

Flies very nicely for me and, as others have said, great sounds.

Only problem is I'm getting a message... "This gauge was created for FS98 or earlier and is no longer supported: FPDA_Gear_Wind"....

Found a post from 2011 that fixes this! http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...T-11-Released!

Cheers.

**Milton Shupe** · June 23rd, 2017, 07:05

The issues mentioned have all been addressed. I will be uploading the final version today sometime.

**Taco** · June 23rd, 2017, 07:39

Hey Milton, sounds good.

**Milton Shupe** · June 23rd, 2017, 07:40

I have deleted the beta version in preparation for the final version upload.

BF,

Redundant, no, some good paints out there, right? and some added features and panel changes? David did a nice job on that.

The reason I decided to convert my original was to preserve all the original mapping and liveries that were done for it. It has its flaws but its not bad for 12 years old.

Yoke visibility: click the air vent on the floor by pilot's left leg, not the seat (that was David's version I think).

Regarding the flap lever - works fine here in both cargo and passenger versions so not sure what you are up against there. It takes a pretty long mouse drag to move it.

Just uploaded a slimmed down version of my paint kit for the Beech. It's set up for passenger, cargo and/or amphibs.

***manfredc3*** · June 23rd, 2017, 18:34

Thanks Milton and Willy.

Another gem will be added to the hangar for some nice flights

Morning all
It's probably just me but I flew the wheeled version of the D-18 recently released and found that I could not cause the autopilot to maintain a heading. Don't recall having this problem in the amphib version. Wondering if anyone else may have experienced this.
Thanks
Warren

**clovistrouille** · June 24th, 2017, 04:40

Great work Milton many thanks.
Here autopilot not working fine and no flaps.
Francis

**clovistrouille** · June 24th, 2017, 04:58

Forgot to say it's on P3DV3
With FSX all is OK

Morning Milton
Unless I have screwed up I am flying the latest version, the one released yesterday - not the beta.
Thanks

Found the "Heading Hold" issue in the aircraft.cfg Autopilot section.

These entries at the bottom of the section need to read as follows:

use_no_default_bank=0
use_no_default_pitch=0
default_pitch_mode=0
default_bank_mode=2 //heading hold

Francis, since I have only FSXA, I cannot duplicate the flaps problem; all works fine here with the flaps.

When you say no "No Flaps", do you mean:

1) No mouse readout when pointing at the flap handle;
2) Mouse works, but flap handle does not move;
3) exterior flaps do not move;
4) some combination of the above

Please be specific

**aspen31** · June 24th, 2017, 06:21

Hi Milton
In P3D V3.4 when selected my flap indicator moved as expected and I believe that the flight characteristics changed as expected. Bottom line is that at least for me in this sim the flaps are okay. I'll try another flight soon and confirm.
Thanks
Warren
