Just FYI folks, we got @thefrog working in v2.5 for now.Originally Posted by thefrog
The issue will be corrected in a maintenance release next week along with a few other minor issues.
EDIT: I just want to thank WND, falcon409, and thefrog for their help in testing and WND for discovering a working solution.

Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
I have had some flights already on this beauty and can only congratulate the dev team, flies beautiful. I had been entertaining/type-rating myself alternating water and land touch-and-goes on an airfield beside the water.
Today I moved on to some purpose flying and loaded the Turbo Mallard in Quito (≃9000ft) for a hop over the Andes with a river in the Amazonas as our final destination.
As FSX loaded up, I shut down the engines in order to do a full start-up sequence. After re-starting on a 5% mixture, idle gases and props at 100%; both engines went straight to full power, well beyond what the brakes
could hold.... Throttle levers on the cockpit moved according to my input, but no reaction on engine instruments.
Starting in the same way at sea level has the right-engine at max power for a while, but the aircraft still doesn´t go over its brakes.
¿Has anyone had any simmilar issue?
Ikewe,
Before starting, ensure that the throttles are at 0%, props full forward, and condition lever around 35-45% (ground idle).
The started logic sets the prop blades at flat pitch and holds them there throughout the start procedure.
Once both engines have started and settled, only then should you move the throttle levers.
The blades will stay flat pitch until you move the throttles beyond 5% or so.
If you move the throttles during the start process, then prop pitch will then go back to fine pitch and you will have forward thrust.
I just tested in FS9 and FSXA at 8500', 9300', and 9810' and had no issues.
The key here is to ensure you set the throttles at 0% and do not touch until both engines are started and settled.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: What sim are you running?
I read through the various posts of this thread, but didn't see mention of a version 1.1, but found this on Flightsim.com:

NC, I usually wait 3-5 days before posting to other sites. Any changes from the original release here at SOH are included.
The 1.1 version added a missing gauge and deleted an unused gauge.
This and other changes will be included in the maintenance release next week.
[QUOTE=Milton Shupe;1035455]Thank you for the clarification, Milton, and your beautiful creation! Sorry for causing any confusion! NC
Milton and team. A very nice model and just when I was going to spend some time in the C-47 along comes another long sought after amphibian. No complaints in fact it seems you have finally overcome the turboprop ground behaviour issue and I only had to go to beta once on taxy out of Darwin this afternoon for a test jaunt and I really loved the Paspally colours as I used to see that aeroplane everyday when I was flying for a living in the NT some time ago.
BendyFlyer, on behalf of the team, thank you very much. That means a lot coming from a real world pilot. :-)
Uploaded to SOH Warbirds / Downloads section - available shortly:
Fully layered Photoshop paint kit.
The paintkit is in fully layered PSD format and comprises the three main files used for exterior texture variants. Please note: "eng0tp_t.Paintkit-1.1" should be used for both engines as they are exactly the same.
This is NOT a rivet-counter's paint kit - if you wish to add additional detail, we'd love to see your creations.
As my approach to dark and light surfaces differs, please use the relevantly labelled layer folders in the paint kit designated 'LIGHT' or 'DARK'accordingly. You will find the basic elements included for 'U.S. NAVY' and 'Globe' texture variants in addition to 'Paspaley Pearls' and 'Olympic Air'from the TP Grumman Mallard release packs.
I have included all 'paths' used in the original construction of the release textures - hopefully, you will find them useful.
The basic 'Alpha' layer is a general purpose compromise - feel free to experiment with the values according to your desired results.
Have fun - ENJOY!

The FSX Only Mallard v1.2 has just been uploaded. This corrects minor issues with the model, panel, sounds, and aircraft.cfg. It also uses DDS/DXT5 textures and a common texture folder to improve load times. Although we do not support P3D and the typical P3D version issues are present with this aircraft, it does correct the load problem with P3D 2.n according to beta tests.

Thank you very much Milton and Team
I am having trouble understanding how to install. When I download the referenced file it opens up into a folder with a lot of files, but I can't find the MallardTPX1.2 file.
It seems I am getting the wrong file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
Tom,
See attached. Do you not see this folder?
Hi Milton,
No when I download the file it appears to be opening to the expanded file.
Tom
Tom,
When you unzip the downloaded file, you will see a MallardTPX folder.
When you open that folder, your will see another MallardTPX folder.
Open that and you will see the folder I posted above.
The MallardTPX1.2 folder is the one you copy to FSX/Airplanes folder.
EDIT: See attached Folder View
Follow the simple installation instructions.

When I download the listed file it opens 726 files none of which is a MallardTPX folder.
Sorry, but I am at a loss as to what is happening.
Tom
Sorry if I'm getting confused, but when I download and install this aircraft (MallardTPX.zip), I find only a single tp.mdl in the model.tp folder. Does the lack of an interior model indicate that this is the port-over version as I thought FSX native aircraft have a external and an internal mdl file? Just wondering if I got the right version.
Tks
Gerard
Milton,
I found the problem. I was downloading from your thread that listed the new release and provided a download.
As soon as I downloaded directly from the Warbirds library it installed correctly.
Thanks for your help.
Tom
Gerard,
Sorry for the confusion. That was simply a Model replacement folder for the v.1.2 release to correct the "leak" in the model.
I posted it so someone could test the fix. I will correct the v1.2 version in place and provide a separate model folder fix.
If you downloaded and installed the latest version, that Model folder may be used to replace the model in the latest release.
I have uploaded the official Model Folder FIX for the Mallard Turboprop. It applies to the latest v1.2 releases, FSX and FS9.
If you downloaded V.1.2 before now, this FIX applies to you.
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...8&linkid=21707
I have also updated the original v1.2 release archives to incorporate the fix so if you have downloaded after this post, the FIX is already applied in your download.
The FIX corrects a Model see-thru leak you may notice if you zoom in closely from the front.
See attached.
