I have the last beta test version; have not downloaded the packaged version.

I see both mixture levers although they appear not to be animated.

The FS9 version is animated and works. Maybe an oversight.

EDIT: I downloaded and installed the SOH file, and this picture shows both mixture levers, although apparently not animated.

Great job converting this aircraft for fsx. I was wondering if someone could tell me what to put in the cfg for the launch assist thanks

Hi Milton. Thanks. I am interested in the 2d panel mixture levers. That's where my #2 eng. mixture lever is not shown. Regards, Bob.

Well done.Thanks a lot

I will do another update to the VC. For this one, I will make the white knobs clickable and animated with the levers themselves. Give me some time as the hours I work aren't pretty

Bob,

Ah yes, tested in the original release and verified that the engine 2 mixture is not clickable. Apparently a gauge issue. I checked the xml gauge and the animation code and tooltip is there and looks good. My question to Scott Thomas who developed the panel and gauges is about the width of the dummy bmp upon which the 2D pedastal is displayed. It is less wide than the code calls for. I am thinking that is the issue but will not know until after work today.

I hope we can get this corrected and share a fix for you.

Hi Milton. Thanks. I appreciate it. Regards, Bob.

Okay, I have to give an ENORMOUS thanks to everyone involved in both building the original FS2004 model and in the FSX conversion.

WOW, what a beautiful plane, and the flight model feels so good. This has instantly become one of my favorite FSX planes of all time, and I really, really appreciate the effort all of you have put into this.

Thank you for the conversion Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations ...Well done

and thank you to all the others involved and not forget Mr. Shupe

Note on mixture control:

These planes were almost always operated in either auto rich or auto lean modes, so manual leaning is not recommended or realistic for operation of these engines. Auto rich used fro takeoff and high power settings to help with cooling, autolean for all other operations.

I have a fix for the mixture lever issue. It was as suspected the bmp size.

I will post an ST_Tracker.CAB update when I receive it from Scott. This fix corrects only the 2D overhead ecu popup engine 2 mixture lever.

Hi being enjoying this plane but the speed brake . spoiler does not appear to slow the plane down. It activartes when seeing from external view, but I see no speed bleed off. Must find a french repaint for the clemencau.

Thanks

Hi Milton. Thanks. I'll be looking for it. Will it be posted here? Regards, bob.
