    Magoo, thank you. It seems Nigel and I have been so far into the details that I forget to step, pause, and appreciate the overall. You have made me do that for the first time. I now can see it through your eyes, and now understand what Nigel has been saying all along. But you guys know me, heads down, focus forward, charge on, details, more details. LOL She certainly does have that 30's artful feel, doesn't she. Nigel's artistry enhances and highlites her gracefulness more beautifully than I could have imagined. All of the schemes are enhancing works of art for sure. Thank you Magoo, and thank you Nigel.

    Hi,

    ...and a huge Thank You to you as well, Milton, for all your hard work to create this virtual Masterpiece.

    Oh, alright, have another one and share it with Nigel . From the fact that he's left his co-pilot at the previous stop and the empties in the bin, he's prolly had nearly enough

    Andy.

    Andy, before quenchin' me thirst, heart-felt thanks Sir!

    Not only for the demanding beta test work involving yourself and team, but also for the continual, heartening encouragement throughout the months, even at times when it appeared as though the work would never get completed.

    Well, here we all are, and the labour of love is done.

    Be proud that you are all part of it.

    Avia 57 Tri-Motor Package Uploaded

    ... awaiting approval.

    Three models, 2 panels, 2 sound sets, 9 liveries, and 11 months ... with more to come.

    Thank you Nigel, Hurricane91, Magoo, Moses03 (for getting me focused on the Avia designs by Czech designer Robert Nebesar), and to all of you who encouraged, supported, and tested with us along the way.

    The URL is: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...tid=6&id=15046 and will work once approved I suppose.

    Now we wait .... :-)

    I just looked through the Avia 57 package, absolutely beautiful! Thank you Milton for building these very obscure
    but fascinating airplanes. The models are gorgeous. Nigel's textures are imaginative works of art, and the sounds
    are fantastic.

    Many thanks go to my friends in the Czech and Slovak Republics who provided crucial assistance in researching
    the Avias. Tomas Rusek is a scale model builder who shared his high quality references and technical knowledge
    of Czech aircraft. Premek Truksa helped with translations and guided me through a few cultural "interpretations".
    Ivan Sabo's Gonzo Aviation blog is a treasure trove of Czech and Slovak aviation history, and provided a glimpse
    of how the Avia 57's passenger cabin may have looked.

    It has been great working with everyone on the SOH-Avia team and I appreciate the continuous support and
    encouragement from all SOH members. My heartfelt thanks to all of you.

    Excellent screen shot, Moses03!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. I have spent the last 3 hours in several versions of this plane, from East Africa to Melbourne.

    Many thanks to all who helped develop this classic masterpiece

    The textures and sounds are superb. The aircraft with the compound curves is a truly beautiful design.

    Found one minor thing with the Cargo panel ..... in [Window06] change the ident=60 to ident=150 to get the popup window to appear.

    Looking forward to some more stunning textures .

    Thanks again.

    A splending piece of work, or should I say artwork.

    Thanks to all who contributed and worked on this project.

    Cheers

    There is an FSX Updates folder with a spinprop in it. :-)

    Hmmm, I fixed that in the regular panel; thought I copied that cfg to the cargo panel. :-/

    They work here Andy. Can you be more specific, what aircraft? Are you in FSX or FS9?

    The "panel.cargo" folder should have the same panel.cfg as the "panel" folder. Just copy the panel.cfg from the panel folder to the panel.cargo folder. The ident issue and a few minor gauge rearrangements are the only differences in the two.

    The only time I saw the icons not working during testing was when I had moved around in the VC cabin to get a better overall view of the office.
    If there is even one pixel between your eye point and the click spot it blocks the access.
    Try resetting the view, I think the default is the space bar and try again.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I have FS9 and I'll try that space bar trick ! they've been working normally up to now.

    Andy.

    edit:

    I reloaded my flight and it still would'n't work, but once I'd switched the Air France for another and checked that it worked, I found that the Air France worked as it should!

    I feel in my water that this is ouzo in the pipework which causes this sort of minor difficulty, and were I of a more bureaucratic cast of mind this is exactly the sort of thing I would make a note of, but as I'm not I'll have a drink.

    LOL Andy. Speaking of water, nothing but the cool stuff, Nigel is cooking up something for this variant ... coming soon :-)
