Ok, looks like with this patch is good. Oil needle works (+carb heat), doors are ok, fuel selector is ok too ( http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...=1#post1176039 ).

For those that prefer purchasing from the big box e-stores, version 1.2 is now available at PC Aviator (and yes, the 10% off Tuesday discount applies). I assume the plane will be available from the other big box e-stores soon.

Just fyi.

I have just installed V1.2 and guess what.....my battery STILL drains out!?!?!

Tim check which aircraft.cfg you are using, I'm using the x64bit.cfg and I've got everything running all lights, heaters etc and my battery is fine

I have a funny feeling you are using the stock aircraft.cfg that designed for fsx, knowing you are using 64bit you need to rename that stock one and then amend the aircraftx64.cfg to aircraft.cfg

see if that helps, otherwise I'm not sure what's going on with your install

Hi Matt. Yeah i have no idea either!? I uninstalled V1.1 and installed V1.2 as usual -which should use the correct aircraft.cfg when you select "P3Dv4" in the install process.

The only thing I have added is your paints and aircraft.cfg entries.

Beats me!?!

**YoYo** · February 27th, 2019, 12:27

Timmy, I didnt notice this (and I have P3Dv4 also). Did You start from default start or saved flight? Maybe try to take default Maule, start the engine, turn off all and save the flight as Default flight. Next You will have cold and dark situation for every aircraft. Maybe it helps.

You manually need to change the cfgs. the installer only finds the directory not installs the x64 cfg as default, you need to do that

Its a new thing with them and carenado who only have recently included 3 versions of the cfg

Hey Matt, I gave the aircraftx64.cfg (renaming it to "aircraft.cfg" then renaming the original one to "aircraftFSX.cfg") a go......but my battery still drains!?!?

Beats me!?!?!

Yup however i have the regersted fsupic and i just doubled checked i have unlimited battery ticked

I will have to check it unticked and see if the prob persists

**Timmy74** · March 2nd, 2019, 21:58

Right-O! I decided to install V1.2 into my P3DV3 and do some testing. This is what i have found -on both computers and versions of P3D (v3 and v4).

Both of my versions have the "default" set up ie; the aircraft is the F22 running and ready to go. I have no "cold and dark" saved at all. It's all vanilla.

When I load the C-170 the engine is running with lights and radio on. All good to go and the AMP meter is well over half way.....I can take off and fly all day no issue.
However, If I hit "shift 3" and select "Cold and Dark" through the Alabeo menu -before I get airborne- this changes EVERYTHING!?!?!

I go through all of the procedures to get the aircraft running. Then I notice that the AMP meter is below half way.....and this is were my battery drains!?! I get airborne and after a few minutes the battery goes flat!?!

So I have learnt that Alabeo has an error in there configuration if one selects "their" cold and dark option!?!?
If I choose to start this aircraft from their "Cold and Dark", once i have her up and running I must use my hot keys to turn on the alternator which brings the AMP's well past half way and no battery drain!?!?

Very strange that i do not have to do this with any other Alabeo and or Carenado aircraft!?

The mind boggles......

Hello Yo Yo,

I have just tried your suggestion.....unfortunately my battery still drains!?!?

No matter what I do, I need to hit my hot key for "Alternator" every time to stop my battery from draining!?!?! I never have to do this to any other aircraft!?!

Beats me x2!?!

**ejoiner** · March 7th, 2019, 10:42

is there a paint kit for this C-170? I want to do this repaint of nobody else is working on it IF there is a paint kit. I dont have time right now to do that rivet work from scratch. If someone else has done a set of templates already, it would be awesome to see this beauty.

**62stratfan** · March 7th, 2019, 12:48

I've tried doing this style of paint as it's actually from the 1955 catalog. 1955 was the first year for the enlarged rear window, too. The stock red and blue over metal, while very nice, are a few years earlier, maybe '52 or '53. I managed to get a decent all metal paint, but I simply could not get all the color edges to line up from the nose bowl, cowling, firewall section, door, and main fuselage. These parts are scattered over the EXT1 file so it's very hard to line them up by eye. I don't know how they did it at Alabeo, but I sure couldn't. Also, the edge of paint along the main fuselage wouldn't come out straight. It looks like an oscilloscope. Any hints to doing this? I'll keep trying. The only "paint kit" are the two PSD's in texture.PSD in the main folder. They are the typical Alabeo flat PSD docs. I did get the "Cessna" and "One Seventy" lettering , though. I'd sorta like to see Alabeo re-shape the rear window to the original semi-ellipse, but I doubt that will happen.

I added the One Seventy script to my personal airplanes...

**MustangL2W** · March 7th, 2019, 13:13

Wow... N2935D is a GORGEOUS airplane!

**ejoiner** · March 7th, 2019, 13:56

That fuselage aint easy. can be done but its hard. Dont know why they do that. Milviz does the same thing. Their F-86 has a ton of fuselage curves as well.

**62stratfan** · March 7th, 2019, 17:35

That looks good. The door hinges are also on the EXT1 file.

As far as I've managed to date on the 1955 pattern...

The blue is to coordinate with either the stock interior or my neutral color mod.
