Thanks for the hu!

[LouP]

Thanks Vitus, Do we need to uninstall older versions first or simply install over what is already there?

Just installed the new update. So far it looks great but I had the same install problem as before when it installed itself into an un-related add-on folder.

If you read the installation instructions,it tells you to uninstall the original first and how to do it.

Its a case of ****.

Cheers Chris

Does it have rain effects on windshiels in P3Dv4?

[YoYo]

The first run.

There's a new review out on YouTube if you're interested:

It certainly is a beauty.

Just purchased it, but the email states there was an error with the order. My PayPal account shows the transaction is completed. Nothing even goes smooth for me/

Hello Manfred,

The download is unlocked and I wrote you an email.

In short, there's currently an issue with the shop software in connection with using discount codes, see here: http://forum.wing42.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=856

I'm sorry for this issue!

[YoYo]

Btw. I did profile of ChasePlane for Vega, if You like You can find it in CP, Community menu (Vega, author YoYo).
Here is short movie with examples:

Thanks for the reply Vitus,

I was aware of the issues with the discount codes (read it in the forum). I just was not aware that it would generate an email stating there was something wrong with the payment process.

But all is fine now. I was able to download the files, and am looking forward to taking her for a spin this evening.

Happy flying,

I'm glad we got it working for you and I hope you're enjoying the old Lady!
I updated my forum post to include the email you get sent to. But ultimately I really hope I find a solution for this problem soon....

Again, my apologies for your trouble, I hope the add-on will make up for it!

In other news: There's a new developer's blog on my website. The short essay is about the struggle of getting sound into the aircraft. Current status of the sound engine is demonstrated in this video:


The sound engine will be included in the September update of the add-on.

Good to know. I don't have Chaseplane, but will keep it in mind for when I do in the future.

Night set (from Today's night trip KACK-KBID), 69nm, 282 dir, 155 mph of cruise speed, just Ocean and two island:

Take off at Nantucket Memorial



Just only the one passenger, his colorized picture ;>.



The weather wasnt very good, from 1300 ft broken clouds but under clouds the visibility was very ok, course 282 and 28 minutes straight flight.



The reach of destination, one pass more.



At Block Island State

Had a crash landing a few days ago. I think some trouble with the oil pump, the engine suddenly stopped. Oil warning lamp was on. Now my fuel tanks are permanently leaking. Vitus, we need a repair option for the fuselage...

Ask Jack's from maintenance hangar .

Ask Jack's from maintenance hangar .

Asked him, but he told me that he is not qualified enough.

MAN have you guys really got me going on this one. Over the years I've seen some amazing aircraft produced and even helped make some myself, but those were mostly military aircraft or big tubeliners. Either bare bones or so much there you need a second person.. I'm a creature of comfort. I enjoy a quiet bowl from an old Czech pipe while reading a good book or simply daydreaming in my favorite chair. I like rich woods and glistening metal, and all the trappings of a well thought out machine. The Beech 17 was one of those. I loved that plane, and now you guys come along with this monstrosity resplendent in perfectly stained wood panels with Ash ribs and gleaming copper and brass vaccum tubing. Beech 17! Its time to move over. Theres a new kid on the block and its looking a lot like home..

Hi guys,
Sorry for coming late to the party. I'm incredibly busy with the September update. This update is HUGE and it will finally push the Vega to the study-level state I want it to be. To give you some idea what I'm talking about:

The Vega's engine will be simulated in two different regimes. A "slow" regime will be active if the engine's speed is less than 30 rpm, the "fast" regime is active for anything above that. In the slow regime the Prop-o-Tronic physics engine calculates the position of each cylinder's intake and exhaust valve, the position of the pistons, pressures, temperatures, ratios and mass of the charges in each cylinder, timing of the ignition etc.etc. I'm yet to find a good way to present this data in the sim, but there's a loooooot going on under the hood.

The next update will also replace the direct-drive starter motor with the more common Eclipse inertia starter. This means that electrical failures due to the overload of the starter motor should become more rare.

Right now I'm working on the NA-Y7B carburetor. I will simulate the level in each of the two barrels, the position of the floats and how it affects the needle's position. After that I move to the calculation of pressures at the air-scoop, choke point and manifold and based on the barrels' condition work out the mixture of the charge that enters the cylinders.

It's still a lot of work and I don't have much time to finish it up...




I wanted to answer some of your posts, but I thought I first let you know WHY I'm not very present in this thread at the moment.

First off, thanks for the wonderful screenshots, they look absolutely gorgeous!

@Yossarian1943:
The oil system doesn't impact the fuel consumption of the Vega. My guess is that you opened the fuel dump valve which slowly drains the fuel out of your selected tank(s). You'll find the valve directly under the wobble pump on the right side of the cockpit.

@warchild:
I'm glad you're hooked and welcome on board!
It's an interesting comparison you draw between the Vega and the Staggerwing. Technology advanced quite rapidly in these times and these two aircraft illustrate this very well. The Vega is prettier though




Btw: if you haven't seen it yet, you can currently vote on the next two liveries for the Vega over here.

Hi Vitus,

thx for this update of info. I know, near every part is working here. When I checked LVAR functions I noticed that every part of engine, every cylinder has own parameters, temperatures, ect. Awesome, simply.
Is it any expected date for update?
