HC-97G / EC-97G Stratofreighters uploaded!

Thanks for the suggestion Bill but no joy here with the suggested fix. Still have no click spots for the 'help' nor speed/power placards. Everything else seems to work fine however, within the monitor panel. I noticed my old panel folder contained a file jwb_xml_server.gau. I note the new panel folder in the latest update contains no such file....wonder if it has something to do with that. This does nothing to hamper my enjoyment of this fine aircraft but I do miss those placards.

Edit: Tried something else: I added back the Window02=Help entry under [Window Titles] in the panel.cfg together with the corresponding entry under the window section, i.e.,

[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=660,727
pixel_size=660,727
position=4
visible=0
ident=10000
gauge00=Monitor!help, 0,0,660,727

And the click points and help placards are available once again! Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem. I trust this doesn't mess with anything else ...all I know is my beloved placards are back.

Hey Fuzz:

I didn't have to do that - in fact my 'panel cfg' doesn't even have a 'window02' section - however to make sure your's is working correctly, if you pull down the 'help' menu on the 'misc' monitor panel - it should explain the new "BAT / GPU" section at the bottom of it..

EDIT: Well, apparently I spoke to soon - went back this morning to check everything and sure enough - mine wouldn't work either !! However, you where correct and as I've noticed Manfred has 'dropped' by and caught it / corrected it with an 'update' so we're 'good to go' !!!


TO EVERYONE:

Keep tabs (jot them down somewhere) on anything you find and keep them close by - Manfred has stepped away for a much needed break and I'm sure when he returns he will address ALL issue's that you have found - until then we'll try to help you resolve anything if we can..

Good morning Dave:

Glad to hear your 'back in business' !! However could you check out something else for me ?

At least on my end, when I start and run for a while, it appears that my 'generators' don't come 'on line' and the battery slowly depletes itself. Could you check and see if yours does the same thing so I can determine if it's on 'my end' or not ??

Thanks;

Bill

Bill..

I've just run a test with the KC97. Startup from cold.. main bus 0, battery 24v. Battery on (MB 24v).. nav lights and beacon on .. cowls to TO then flashed all 4 up. MB to 28v, battery at 24v. Battery deselected on monitor and I let her run for in excess of 15mins. No drop in batt voltage. As a precaution.. I checked FSUIPC in case I had 'Extend battery life' selected (which I have in the past) but it was at the default setting.. unticked.

I presumed there'd be no difference between models but if you'd like me to test the HC/EC.. I'll be happy to do so

Dave:

NOPE !! That's fine what you did - apparently it's something on my end which I will investigate...

Thanks so much - I appreciate it..

Just uploaded repaint of EC-97G 0-22687, 7405th. Operations Squadron USAFE, 1963. Based a long time in Wiesbaden AB. The aircraft also operated to and from Berlin-Tempelhof, flying over East Germany within the protected airspace of the Berlin Air Corridor. As part of Project Pie Face, the gathering of photographic intelligence by mounting cameras of passenger carrying and transport aircraft, this EC-97G was early equipped with the famous 3.25-ton Big Bertha or Daisy Mae camera - it was the biggest camera for recon ever build. In 1964 red colors on fuselage, tail and wings were removed.

Downside fuselage windows are removed like real a/c. Spec and bump textures are modified.

Looking nice TiAr

I'll reupload the whole Update here, and I saw I also couldn't spell 'Stratofreighter' ... or the date.

I cannot find the reuploaded update or is it same as FSX Boeing C-97 Update 2.zip dated June 30 as seen on this link: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...php?catid=37??

I need to look for update so that I can use new SUPER SHINY liveries offered by two livery painters Dave McQueen and Eagle and so that I can use cool de-icing feature on wings.

Regards,

Aharon
