Iris Battlefield airlifter. (C-27 Spartan)

[Smudge]

For those of you who've purchased the C-27 from FSS, the file name will be the same as the original, though the installer should be newer. Have you tried downloading the installer to check?

[ST0RM]

I got mine from FS PilotShop. It shows the file was updated back on 14 June 2014, so I dont think they've got the newest version yet.

No David, but I will now

The name has changed (Iris_Airforce_tact_fsx.exe) , and so has the file size! Downloading now!

Awesome... The installer will say Battlefield Airlifter V1.1 when you run it anyway. If it doesn't, then well.. it's old. If it's not updated, please let me know and I'll chase it up with Adrian.

[StormILM]

Quick question for David regarding the VC on the model, I see that some of the different pedestal display units are black indicating they are either not on or the gauge/placeholder texture are not in place. Searching through the manual, I did not see any reference on this or if there is an option but noticed some of the buttons on the center & right FMS are clickable but with no function. Is there a way to enable these displays or at least get the placeholder appearance of the original version?

Looks like the updated model is at the Flightsim Store, same name for the downlink but the file is different than it was a few hours ago!! I believe iris_airforce_tact_fsx.exe is correct? Will know upon installing no doubt.

Quick check before bedtime, and it is indeed updated at the Flightsim Store!

I didn't know there was a specific licence for P3D. :/
I have installed the newest version in my P3D v2.3 (I don't use FSX anymore).
The plane works quite well but I found a small issue: during the approach for landing, I had some error popups (the sim didn't crash) about some missing sounds files with a name containing "PC-9".
From what I understand, the C-27 or one of its gauges is trying to use a sound from the PC-9, which is not installed in my P3D.

From what was written here a bit earlier, I understand I can buy the P3D version of the C-27 with an interesting discount, because I had already bought the FSX version. But will this issue dissappear if I buy the real P3D version ?

Same issue on my side.
Also, in the original version, there was a 3D copilot, right ? How can we activate it again with the newest version ? (or is it again a problem because I don't have the P3D version ? )

[Roger]

At last I can fly the Spartan!

A couple of other things ive notice

There appears to be a model missing, there is no AWAC model as shown in the screenshots and the GPS gauge fills the screen and the model randomly bounces in sets of 3 occasionally while sitting idle

the FMC is difficult to read while in the chair, maybe a pop up window or new view

no options menu like the previous version?

Matt, the AWAC and Gunship models are available within subsets of the FMS menu as are many other options. I agree, the GPS gauge needs to be sized down a bit.

cheers found it, just trying to read the text without having to zoom all the way in is proving to be lesser than enjoyable, it needs a popup or new view

[jojohnson9]

Yep I am in the same boat, FSS waiting for them to update current C27J customer's.

I just downloaded what I think is the new version from FlightSim Store...iris_airforce_tact_fsx.

[ST0RM]

I'm screwed, thanks to FS PilotShop. They require an additional fee to reactivate the link to something I've already paid for.

I wont EVER do business with them again.

I can't get the GPS to display at all, I am running three monitors but even in Windowed mode with it compacted down to one screen I can't get it to show. I have made the adjustments I have found for other aircraft when using 3 monitors but it will not except it at all. Went back to the old C-27 and the GPS worked there, tried copying that part of the panel config over but still it does not seem to work. Ideas?

I have added in

window_size= 0.333, 0.874
and even
size_mm=5040, 1050
Pixel_size=5040, 1050

try this

just remove the whole GPS entry completely and copy a paste a entry from a stock ac

just revised the textures for the correct RAAF scheme to suite the newer models so its no longer a fictional scheme

Im getting the same, even after a re install, this applies to the bouncing as well

[StormILM]

Folks, I encountered the same sound error when I was shooting an ILS and it seems to happen when one of the gauges or ini files is referencing the missing sounds for the marker beacons (those who do not have the Iris PC-9 as I don't). So, I created a null file using 3 silent files to temporarily alleviate the issue until a fix is made. Just unzip this file and place in your FSX/Simobjects/Airplanes folder and the issue will be resolved.

Hi guys, just eating lunch, but I wanted to thank you all for some great suggestions! We're aware of the issue with the marker beacon sounds linked to the PC-9 and that'll be addressed this afternoon. I'll advise you all when a hotfix is ready.

ive revised the NZ and RAAF EW paints

The only other issue I have encountered so far is that I've had trouble with the autopilot approach hold working correctly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. The issues being that it tracks s-turning back & forth on the localizer after capture and sometimes does not capture the glideslope at all. The instruments track perfectly and flying the ILS by hand with the new instrumentation is a vast improvement over the previous version. I tried a couple of adjustments to the A/P section of the config but to no avail. As far as I can tell, the remainder of the A/P controls work pretty much flawlessly.

[Smudge]

Storm,

I can't say I've had a huge issue with ILS hold. Normally I put it in Approach hold when I'm already established on the ILS. That being said, double check to make sure your PFD isn't set to MSN as the nav priority otherwise it won't hold the ILS.
