AVRO Project 621 and 621 Trainer - FSX port over uploaded!

[johnwillimas2]

A bit late in the day, but have just checked the latest Tutor release in my FSX SP2 for start procedure & found that turning the Start Mag Off does not disable the Oil temp or Oil pressure gauge, although it does enable the temp gauge from cold - curiouser & curiouser......may have been updated?

A little more research. I re-downloaded and reinstalled...

(1) I should have said <Shift> + M not <CTRL> + M but makes no difference.

(2) If I start the engines with <CTRL> + E and then toggle the Start Magneto switch, the oil pressure and temperature gauges function which ever way the start magneto switch is set. If I then shut down and restart using the manual start method all appears to function correctly.

(3) If I use the saved flight mentioned above to provide a starting point, I can start manually and then toggle the Start Magneto switch, the oil pressure and temperature gauges function.

So, in conclusion: there's something odd in there but I can make it work, so all's well, I guess.

Anyway, in spite of this, the 621 and Tutor are on my list of favorites now.

RAF College Cranwell freeware scenery seems like an appropriate setting for the Tutor/Trainer Avros. There are both paved and grass strips, so most RAF aircraft would seem at home. Its available from SOH.

That ground texture looks awful.
It should be green not desert sand colour.

Thanks for the comment Speedy. I changed the season from Winter to Summer and re-posted the pic.

Just downloaded the Avro 621 FSX port-over (link below) ... and seem to have no engine startup effect.

Does anyone know where I can find the 'fx_avro621_startup_v1' effect file called for in the aircraft config [EFFECTS] section ?

Thank-you,
MZ.

Thank-you, Ulrich. I totally missed this post.

Just curious (re both the port-overs and FSX native models) and to add more realism in screenshots etc. .. is there a way of removing the pilot from the exterior view when aircraft is parked and engine/instruments are turned 'off' ?

I came across some aircraft before where pilots disappeared when certain conditions were met (parking brake set, battery off, etc. based on type of aircraft).
