Nice work on these paints!!!!!

**PeteHam** · January 23rd, 2024, 17:48

I love the Stearman.

Although I don't have MSFS ( still with FSX:SE ) , I do get to fly Stearman 203 in real life ....

I've transferred the textures for LN-VAR to all 3 Stearman models. The original LN-VAR is a PT-17 with a R-670 Continantal engine and wooden propeller. The GAS PT-17 Stearman don't have option for the wooden propeller. So I choosed the PT-17 model (with pitch propeller), as that was the one most similar to the original. The red "Fire extinguisher" placard on port side is not present on the original aircraft. I've tried to remove that placard, but I am not able to do so.

you need texture
B75_COCKPIT_PARTS_ALBD.PNG
B75_COCKPIT_PARTS_ALBD.PNG.DDS
B75_COCKPIT_PARTS_COMP.PNG

for this,and then it is ok,you see only a little from the parts,but get the same colour.

I used to find in P3D that GAS aircraft were amenable to AP tweaking in the .cfg files so you could get a basic Autopilot working.

I have flown the Stearman a couple of times & tried the basic keyboard AP, (Z & ALT HLD & HDG HLD), but can't get it to take yet.

I've looked in systems.cfg and there is an AP section, with "autopilot_available =1", which, I think, means an AP will work.

So, is there another line somewhere in the .cfg's I need to tweak to get an AP going??

Thanks

systems cfg,

remove the ; before circuit.19 and circuit.20

circuit.19 = Type:CIRCUIT_AUTOPILOT #Connections:bus.2 #Power:0, 0, 10.0 #NamedISABLED Autopilot ; Autopilot 15W
circuit.20 = Type:CIRCUIT_GPS #Connections:bus.2 #Power:0, 0, 10.0 #NamedISABLED GPS ; AS530 45W

This paragraph [AUTOPILOT] is a basic and standard paragraph that has not been used or populated by us.
These Boeing at the time of design had no electronic equipment. Nevertheless to make a slight compromise, we added a simple two-band radio and a transponder, that’s all.

If you still want to use a autopilot, the best would be to use a companion program, like ... that you can find freeware on github: https://github.com/Pomax/are-we-flying

These lines found in the basic files of the SDK were commented by me in anticipation of future changes, without more. I have not worked on the subject and I cannot give more information.

Ok, thank you.
Not sure which words to remove, or is it the whole line, [both of them]?

Thank you for the clarification.
Very much enjoying the Stearman.
Only looking for an AP as have cataracts & can't stare at the screen for the duration of a long flight.

Not sure if the

Removing ; is all you have to do??

Update
Thank you banjoman
Finally got it to work after taking out the 2, ";", per your instructions.
I found I needed to be patient for the ALT HLD to take effect as initially it started to drop, then slowly levelled out.
Appreciate your assistance.
Now, off to find some more liveries!

I edited the post with the code to disable the smilies. It was the : D (without the space) that was telling the forum to use the grinning emoji.

333/LN-VAR is soon to be uploaded. I am going to keep the Fire Extinguisher placard on port side of cockpit (best result, although it is not present on the original aircraft).
Here's another local PT-17 Stearman (WIP)
