Hi Milton
I've been using the turbine Mallard in P3D V3.4 (one of the last versions before V4) and it works well. I experienced quite a buzzing with the original sound set at idle so I switched it for a package designed for a Dash-7 and after some fiddling it works well. I will go back and revisit the original set at some point. Aside from that (which could be something in my computer) the machine flies really well for me. My wife gave me a new joystick for Christmas (tired of the cursing I think) and now I can almost stay on the runway, so progress in all directions.
Thanks for doing this Mallard and the best for 2018.

Thanks for the Christmas present!

[Gooneybird565]

Milton, thank you for this wonderful bird. This is the first TP I am using...
Any chance to have an update also for the radial engines versions (or did I miss it)?
Anyway, one more brilliant addition to my hangar!
All the best to you

That is interesting to hear Warren. There were no changes to the original sound package but maybe being native has some affect on the sounds.

Thank you Sir (and thanks to all of the other comments).

I have not done the radial version yet as LDR did a native version with a full 3D gauge cockpit and some nice extras that is very nice.

If there is demand for my original, then that will be considered.

Thanks for the nice Grumman, very nice aircraft, on a related note anyone know of a good SA or HU-16B albatross other than Virtivia's that works with P3D V4 ?

Hi Milton
I'll admit I didn't spend much time with the original package and once in a while with my system it appears that there can be some "teething" problems when I first use a package which on subsequent use disappear so I will try the original again. I did notice on a recent flight that the "Yoke" icon is unusable for me. It highlights but does not cause the yoke to disappear. I am referring to the icon to the right of the GPS icon which I assume to be the yoke "appear / disappear" switch.
Nice airplane
Thanks
Warren

No soup for you....1 year! You didn't read the documentation. Click spot for yoke removal is indicated by the red X in my screenshot. The YK ICON does nada.

Take care and thanks - Happy New Year!

I'd vote for that!

My apologies Warren. I guess I did not replace the panel.cfg in the final release.

Comment out this line in the Vcockpit01 section of the panel.cfg like so:

gauge49=//ST_Mallard!Yoke Icon, 197,839,45,45

Thanks Milton! Great stuff !

Well a very interesting amphibian the Grummman Mallard (PT6) has rebounded into FSX nicely. All I can say Milton, is that thanks because today I spent several wonderful hours on a run in the new FSX Native TP Mallard from Ushusia Naval Base in Argentina, down to Cape Horn and then back to Rio Grande, low, mid and FL's. Thoroughly good fun, great model, ho bugs, no hitches nothing just so pleasant to fly. The textures are crisp and in FSX-A, operated flawlessly. Very nice work. Had a great day thanks to Milton. Perfect score!!

Outbound early am.




ORBX South America LC/Global. Seems to be very good with detail and brings South America alive to my mind, just in case any one was curious. Weather real time via FSXWX using REX Textures. Aeroplane by Milton Shupe. Gold Star.

Happy holidays and a big thank you for all the wonderful vehicles (I have to include the Bounty!) you give us Milton!

Well,

Thanks to everyone involved for providing us with this great Christmas gift.

[nigel richards]

Milton; you've made an awesome job of taking this Gal native - perfect for some much needed R & R holiday flying, just loving it!

Thank YOU for going that extra mile, Sir :-)

[Roger]

Thank you Milton and team! What a great aircraft for coastal exploration

Milton,
No worries, I have the LDR buddy in my hangar. Will go on with it for the radial part, and when/if you release your own radial version, will add it to his other fellows.
Once again thank you to the team!!!

Thank you Team Mallard, another wonderful turboprop to add to the stable, not sure about the boat part.

[MZee1960]

Thank-you, Milton and co. for this FSX native model. It flies much smoother than the port-over and with better fps as well.

Just one question.

I tried adding some lighting to brighten up a bit the the cockpit panel esp. at dusk/night and must have done something wrong. When I click the 'panel' light switch 'on', I get the panel section lit up as well as the entire VC (overhead light), but no back cabin. When I click the 'cabin' light switch 'on', I get the cabin lights coming on as well as some more additional VC lights coming on.

All of this is good, but here's my question : is there is a way of 'only' having the instrument panel lights come on without any VC (overhead) lighting when the 'panel' light switch is the only light switch turned 'on', and perhaps tying the overhead VC lighting to the 'cabin' light switch ?

Here's my config with the changes I made :
