C-27J Spartan

Working like a champ in FSX and issues in Prepar3D. The gears in Prepar3D go up but don't want to come down.

Please disregard last, I found the problem and it was "user error" in mixing up/deleting installation files. It works excellently now!

Good to know! Thanks for updating us.

I'd sympathise, but we're not offering support for Prepar3D... yet... ;-)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Have a great weekend.

NEW UPDATE: C-27J Spartan Version 1.2 to 2.1 Hotfix

This fix addresses the incorrect soundloop under power and also adds the latest 2.1 Flight Model from Pam Brooker and Paul Frimston at JFTC! Fantastic stuff...

This can be installed over any 2.0 upgraded aircraft or from the 1.2 version.

Initial test flight complete with HF 2.1. Need to go back and check, but seems I have excessive fuselage roll on both start and taxi. Using the "autostart" function, left engine start and left roll started close to 5 degrees AOB. Slow taxi with 90 degree turns out of parking show the same AOB. Engine spool times seemed pretty quick as well as did initial acceleration at 62K GTOW.

All autopilot modes worked perfectly, including speed hold.

Thats a problem with the engines and props. I modeled them as close to reality as i could get ( which isnt too shabby ) but the way FSX handles turbo props is way off kilter, and causes them to have too much power on the low end and too low of power on the high end. I pretty much shot for the middle. That means you have too much power at idle, and almost enough power at the top end. I apologize for this. I'm afraid you'll just have to brake when you load it up.. should stop in a few feet..

Can anyone please confirm if v2.0/2.1 include HD paint kit or if it's still 1024x1024?

I feel lucky to be flying this plane.

-I use the same start up procedure post 2.1 hotfix, as I used pre 2.1 hotfix. The plane no longer drifts badly, or rotates on an axis.

-I have a cockpit roof artifact, a hole in the model. It was present before changing resolution and monitor (1920x1080). Perhaps some day, it can be fixed.

The pic above isnt a error. That's padding that covers the upper flight deck screens. If your the PIC or FO you'll be thankful for that padding in a crash or shattering during combat. That padding is also present in the USCG HC44 and the two USAF C27's I had the privilege to work with when they in Iqaluit, when I was there observing for RCAF Arctic Ops.

Thanks CG you are absolutely right! I saw this the other day and has asked David about it, he did explain it to me, then I forgot to post! Crazy brain! :-) But yes, it isn't an error.

The blue slash in the box is padding? I haven't seen that blue padding before. Is it like foam padding, as opposed to the upholstered stuff?

Sundog,

Go to external view and you'll see the black upholstered padding through the rearmost glass roof panels. So, from the pilots seat, you're seeing a little of the roof glass past the black padding...

So, not to sound too bizarre, is it more of a sun shade, otherwise, why put windows up there? Not ciriticizing the model, just the design feature. I think it's great attention to detail, but there are windows up there for a reason, I would imagine......

G'Day Matt, CG answered it below:

Sundog, the "blue slash" is not the padding, it's the visible sky through the window behind the padding. If you notice in the blue, it's the same sky blue as what is above the pilots head. I had to tilt my laptop screen, but if you get it right you can actually see the edging of the protective cover. Dave T has posted a really good photo showing from the external view, I think it explains it really well.

Think of it as a "bubble in the curtain". :-)
