Trinidad TB-21 GT from Lionheart with military variants

[fsafranek]

There is no MP gauge. According to specs from the actual aircraft, it is handled electronically. I understand none of that, just relating what Bill told me when I asked about the same thing.

I checked a new gauge for Bill yesterday. The orange digital gauge has been replaced with an analog gauge that reads both fuel flow and manifold pressure.

Before buying it a couple of days ago I emailed Bill Ortis to verify his DX10 disclaimer. He's correct, it does not work in FSX with DX10 - not only terrible glass distortion but really sick performance. Simply switching to DX9 on Steve's Fixer panel eliminates the distortion and performance becomes as advertised.

Interesting. I helped test the aircraft in FSX, FSX-SE, and P3Dv3 on a Win 8.1 system with DX11. It worked fine.

Several similar complaints from FSX/DX10 users on the "Steve's Fixer Forum" at Avsim. Steve has stated he'd be glad to help if Bill will give him access.

The original gauge was a digital EGT/CHT gauge - there was no manifold pressure gauge.

Yep, I also tested it.

It's reassuring to have the gauge and know how much you're asking of your engine.

Just bought this on sale. The installer wants to overwrite 'one or more write protected files' in FSX and does not identify which specific files.
Anyone have an idea what these are?

This message in an fsx installer always makes me nervous.

btw.
You can install it in the "new folder" on desktop for example and check this files.

[fuzz1]

Yes Yoyo, this is what I'd normally do in such circumstances but too late; due to my lapse of attention I pressed 'ok' instead of 'cancel' in the installer and it completed the install before I could stop it.

No idea what copy protected files it has overwritten in my fsx, nor why it would need to do this in the first place.

Due to my lack of attention I just bought it, again! Paid less than half what I did when originally purchased, using the link from YoYo. But, I got the updated version this time. Will be glad when my flying rig is back up and running! Had Bill's original FS9 version, and really liked it. This one should be much better.

My accountant, a former Navy/NASA pilot, recommended this plane to me. How about a Heads-Up on this thread if it goes on sale again?

Thanks!

The Trinidad doesn't appear to be included in the Just Flight (Lionheart) sale.
In fact it looks like JF don't list the Lionheart Trinidad at all, sale or no (which perhaps shouldn't come as too much of a surprise if they have one of their own!)

[DaveB]

On reflection.. that would make sense. Sri Obie

For those using FSX/DX10, on the Avsim "DX10 Fixer" forum Steve received a GT21 copy from Bill Ortis and produced a fix for the bad windshield and side glass textures. http://www.avsim.com/topic/491523-ne...2#entry3481816

Thanks for the heads-up.
